 Greetings from The Green Spiral!

The Green Spiral is our heart’s path to a more natural sense of well being. 
Harkening back to our learned ancestors, we appreciate their skills and knowledge in herbal lore.  Combining that lore with modern science and wisdom provides us with the means to create our line of herbal stuff.  We handcraft our herbal products in small, quality-controlled batches, using only natural ingredients, many of which we grow in our garden, located in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains.

Find how easy it is to bring that genuine experience to your everyday life.  Wrap your hands around a steaming mug of herbal tea.  Ease a headache with natural relief.  Soothe skin with an organic salve.  Keep bugs away without toxic chemicals.  Smile as you realize remedies don’t have to be complicated nor mass-produced.  We know you will agree with us that these are created with love and healing intent by knowledgeable hands.  

The Green Spiral is Dan and Betty Pillsbury.  We are available to answer any questions or to develop a product to meet your specific needs. 

WRIST RUB:   
The ideal product for the ever growing problem of “overuse syndrome”.  Wrist Rub contains emu oil (well known for its therapeutic effect) and a selection of fast absorbing essential oils traditionally used for their anti-inflammatory properties.  Wrist Rub can be applied to any overused joint.  Most emu oil products contain 5-7% emu oil, we use 33% emu oil!!!  A little goes a long way in this roller-ball applicator. 1/3 oz.
