Anikó is a folk herbalist. Her work is rooted in the earth-based practices of our ancestors and is inspired by stories of the village herbalists in Hungary like her great Aunt Izus. She's been studying and working with the plants in her bioregion for over a decade and through Wild Origins she teaches herbal folkways and offers herbal body care products as a way to excite others' curiosity about herbalism.

She's studied under and apprenticed with some brilliant herbalists (most recently jim mcdonald) but the learning that lights her up the most is the work-with-the-plants, get-messy-in-the-apothecary, and devour-hundreds-of-books kind.

Lately she's been distilling hydrosols, exploring the medicinals around Lake Erie and the Appalachian foothills, studying herbal energetics, researching Hungarian folk medicine, dyeing with botanicals, and learning how plants can help us integrate grief and trauma. She draws from all she's currently curious about to formulate new products and seed her ever-expanding Patreon.
