Expo East 2022 Standout Brand: Wishgarden Herbs

Wishgarden Herbs: An Entire Nursery of Herbal Extracts

For over 40 years, Wishgarden Herbs has been harnessing the power of plants to produce a broad variety of herbally-infused liquid wellness extracts.

Despite their evidence-based and science-forward formulations, Wishgarden’s extracts are anything but stuffy, with playful names like the Kick-A** Immune Activator, Hoarse Whisperer Throat Spray, and Genius Juice For Focus.

“Head of Hype” Jamie McKeown explained to us how each liquid extract uses a carefully formulated blend of ingredients to enhance immunity, gut health, energy level, and other key components of wellness.

At Expo East, we got to try the Kick-A** Immune Activator and Liquid Bliss for Peace Tranquility, which were both much-needed to support our dwindling immune and nervous systems after several cross-country flights and long days of travel. 

At Wishgarden Herbs, their roots run deep—herbalist and activist Catherine Hunziker started the company in 1979, and it’s still family-run and woman-owned to this day.

Each wellness extract is carefully formulated with top-notch herbs and plant-based ingredients for optimal efficacy—for example, the Digestive Rescue contains fennel seed, catnip, peppermint leaf, ginger root, Rocky Mountain artesian spring water, vegetable glycerine, organic gluten-free alcohol, and apple cider vinegar.

And although the extracts are made with alcohol, they aren’t alcoholic—they are safe for kids and contain less alcohol by volume than a ripe banana.
