Hummingbird Herbals

Hummingbird Herbals has been a locally owned and operated business in Southwest Colorado since its creation by Melanie Rose, Clinical Herbalist, in 1995. In October 2007, Hummingbird Herbals came under new ownership by Joslyn Stancampiano, Chartered Herbalist and student, apprentice, employee and friend of Melanie for the past two years. For the past 12 years, everyone at Hummingbird Herbals has been dedicated to creating products that aid in the health and well-being of our world community through healthful herbs and ecologically and socially responsible business practices. Because our plant medicines come from nature, we are concerned with maintaining healthy ecosystems where plants, animals and humans can coexist and lead good lives. Our herbs are therefore organic or ethically wild harvested in almost all cases, except for a few Chinese herbs that are impossible to get organically but are still very useful. Joslyn is the new owner and operator of Hummingbird Herbals. Joslyn has been a resident of Southwest Colorado for as long as Hummingbird Herbals has been around. Herbs have been a passion of hers for many years, beginning as a teenager with getting to know wild plants and their uses while on hikes. This interest continued and grew through her college years and career as a Social Worker, and onward through recent years of more formal herbal and natural health education in classes and apprenticeship with Melanie, as well as completion of the Herbal Charter program with Dominion Herbal College in Vancouver, British Columbia.
