Wild Thyme Herb Shop
Red Oak, Texas
Nourishing the body, mind and spirit!
Wild Thyme Herb Shop opened in 2010 in Bastrop, Tx
We moved to Waxahachie, Tx in 2015, downtown on College St. The business moved a couple more times and ended up on Water St, still in Waxahachie, in a little pink house which is over 100 years old. Charming and historical, this location became my favorite location of the last 14 years!
However, the physical herb shop closed on October 31st, 2024, and has become an online only presence. The nice part is that although you won't have a store to walk into, you will still be able to pick up your orders same day here in Red Oak! Or we will ship to you, you just choose your preference at check out!
Classes will resume in 2025, stay tuned (on FB) for announcements!
Hours: Orders can be made 24/7, pick ups are between 8am and 6 pm Monday through Saturday!

Did you know that essential oil based soaps are healthier for us and good for the skin? Yes they are!
*PLANT TINCTURES - We carry simples and formula blends that may help many people, such as a tincture for relaxing or a tincture that encourages you to sleep. The truth is that most formulas need to be developed especially for you, the individual with specific needs. What works for one person may not work as well for the next person. We are all so very different! And we can figure that out for you.
At Wild Thyme, we offer tinctures produced by Herbalist & Alchemist, my teacher's company. We also carry Nature's Answer non-alcohol extracts, and several of the 4 Elements herbal extracts.
All Alcohol based tinctures are available upon request and are not listed on the new website. Please call Nancy at 512-284-1152 to discuss!

INCENSE / SMUDGE STICKS - What herb shop would be complete without incense or smudge sticks?
What are smudge sticks? A very brief explanation for you: "Using a smudging tool is part of many Native American traditions. The burning of herbs for emotional, psychic, and spiritual purification is also common practice among many religious, healing, and spiritual groups. The ritual of smudging can be defined as "spiritual house cleaning." In theory, the smoke attaches itself to negative energy and as the smoke clears it takes the negative energy with it, releasing it into another space where it will be regenerated into positive energy." taken from an article on About.Com by Phylameana lila Desy
We have white sage, desert sage and mountain sage smudge sticks, as well as incense sticks, incense matches, sweet grass, candles (scented and unscented), and natural scented perfume oils!
