Hello! My name is Carrie Falotico, and this a little about me. I've always loved plants, and was first introduced to using them medicinally by a wonderful friend. I began using herbs to make medicines and body care products for myself, my friends and family in 1996, and the concept of using herbs for overall well-being quickly became my passion.

I moved to Boulder, CO to pursue this passion, and became a certified herbalist in 1998. I began working for the Herb Research Foundation in 1999, where my education continued on a daily basis. I have answered thousands of questions about the use of herbs through various forums. I also write articles on herbs. I have taught classes in herbal studies at Front Range Community College, as well as in my home, and have given talks on various herb topics at events and meetings. I also give personal consultations and individual instruction for those interested in using herbs for well-being.

I have long felt that what we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put in them. I became frustrated trying to find products completely free from synthetic ingredients. Those I found I didn't always like, or were beyond my financial means. I dreamt of creating an effective line of 100% natural body care products with delightful textures, and pure natural fragrances. At long last, I am finally seeing this dream blossom with the launching of Old World Apothecary and my product lines. I hope you enjoy using them as much as I enjoy creating them! Green Blessings! ~Carrie
