Tamara's Herbes is owned and operated by Tamara Glascock, a Certified Herbalist, small business owner, military veteran, artist, gardener, mother, grandmother, vaguely witchy, incredibly sarcastic, wicked smart, free-spirited, rebellious soul who is doing my best to heal the ills of the world while creating lovely things that will make the world a more beautiful place.
My journey into the world of natural health and beauty products began out of necessity. Due to some serious health issues, I began creating for myself and my family natural medicinal products from plants because I wanted something effective and potent that wasn't going to create a whole new set of medical issues. The deeper I delved into the side effects of prescription medicines, the more horrified I became. It became my mission to find safe alternatives to treat common illnesses and complaints. As I began learning about many of the common ingredients used in most personal hygiene products I realized that the world needed safer options, so I began creating things like soap, lip balm, skincare products, lotions and dental products using only natural ingredients that didn't come with the dangers of chemical preservatives and other additives.
In time, my focus turned to more serious illnesses like cancer, diabetes, liver/kidney issues, and blood diseases. What I discovered along the way was astounding. The effectiveness of plants to treat many 'incurable' diseases surpassed everything I could have imagined. It has been my pleasure to be able to share this information with countless friends, family and strangers, and to watch as they, too, discovered the healing power of plants and other natural ingredients.
As a Certified Clinical Herbalist, my main focus is consulting with clients and helping to guide them through the confusing world of healing the body without having to depend on a cabinet full of prescriptions that always have the potential to harm more than help. Teaching people how to prevent disease, as well as how to heal the body from existing disease and illness is where my passion resides. The products that I offer are the result of over 2 decades of research and study.
I received my Certification from Dr. Christopher's School of Natural Medicine, and have spent hundreds of hours gaining knowledge through sharing with other healthcare professionals, as well as taking a variety of courses on the human body and it's function, botany, gardening and growing methods of plants, and many other structured courses that contribute to the field of natural medicine.
Every product available at Tamara's Herbes is the result of countless hours of creating and testing. I make every product by hand in small batches to maintain freshness and potency. I am always happy to adjust my products to suit the preferences and personal health needs of my customers.

Our Philosophy
At Tamara’s Herbes, we believe that natural is best. In today’s world of artificial, processed foods, medicines, cleaning products and body care products, that can be difficult to find. Add to that the confusing list of ingredients on every product you find, sometimes it is just too complicated to find truly natural products.
Unfortunately, it can get quite expensive, too.
Tamara’s Herbes is committed to changing all of that. We believe that ingredients should be pure and simple, and you shouldn’t have to break the bank to afford it.
Every ingredient we use is as pure and natural as possible. We have gone to great lengths to find suppliers with a track record of honesty, integrity and transparency so we can be assured that we are using only the finest quality natural ingredients available.
We have maintained this commitment in every single product we create. There are no artificial colors or preservatives in a single product we offer. We use only GMO-free, organically-grown or wild harvested plants and herbs. Our butters and oils are free of chemical residues often found in many ‘natural’ products because we purchase only organic and fair-trade.
At Tamara’s Herbes we believe in standing behind every one of our products. If you are not fully satisfied with the quality of the products you purchase from Tamara’s Herbes, we will gladly refund your purchase price.
Where we are
Tamara’s Herbes is located in the beautiful foothills of the Missouri Ozarks. Our small farm is surrounded by gently rolling hills and crystal clear rivers, in the tiny town of Edgar Springs. We are far away from street lights, pollution and chaos, way down the gravel roads. Our storefront isn’t on the main street of town – it’s right here on our farm where we can control the environment that our products are created in and stored in. Right here on the farm where we do our best to maintain a simple way of life, honoring practices of the pioneers and homesteaders who came before us.
What we do
We pride ourselves on not fitting in to any of the boxes. Tamara’s Herbes is the love child of Tamara Glascock, owner of Tamara’s Herbes. Tamara, a Certified Herbalist and Nutritionist, has more than 20 years of experience working with herbs. As an avid believer that natural is better, Tamara has applied her knowledge to creating safe, effective herbal formulas to aid in every health issue presented to her. Her experiences have reaffirmed her belief that there is a natural alternative to every man-made medicine available. She has invested years in creating a complete line of herbal health products to aid every illness from the sniffles to cancer.
Tamara’s Herbes also offers a complete line of bath and beauty products that are safe, effective, affordable, and completely natural. Using ingredients that have been used throughout history to help maintain beautiful skin and hair, Tamara’s offers a wide variety of hair products, beauty products and toiletries for men and women that can be completely customized to suit every individual.
With a food system that is becoming more processed and polluted every year, Tamara’s felt it was important to offer alternatives to her clients, so she created a line of seasoning blends, jams, jellies, relishes and other edibles using only natural ingredients. Many of our customers are surprised to find that we offer things like raw fruit vinegars, fermented foods, and other food staples manufactured right here on the farm. Our gardens and native plants grown on our farm provide ingredients for most of our edible product line. In keeping with our commitment to the finest ingredients, we grow only heirloom-variety plants that are never sprayed with any chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Earth-friendly growing practices, like collecting rainwater to water our gardens and maintaining several compost piles, allow us to keep our promise of incorporating only the finest, safest, most natural ingredients in our products.
Tamara loves to share her experience and knowledge with others. She can often be found teaching others how to live a more natural, healthier life. Homeschool groups, women’s groups, prepper groups and health-centered groups frequently seek out Tamara as a guest speaker.
