Community Self Serve Herb Stations
~After ongoing interest in our Herbal Care Bag Program from 2020-2022, The Compassion Access Project has shifted our goals in hopes to create ongoing access to herbal medicine and supplements for the Durham, NC community and surrounding area. In 2023, we are excited to have launched the first Community Self Serve Herb Stations throughout the city in spaces that are safe and inviting to BIPOC and LGBTQIA + community members.
With the generosity of Gaia Herbs, we have collaborated to receive donations of herbs and supplements to stock the Community Self Serve Herb Stations. Gaia Herbs website offers valuable information on all of their products including herb and supplement uses, suggested safe dosages, and contraindications and cautions.
**We are seeking other companies who wish to offer in-kind donations of medicinal herbs, teas, Covid Rapid Tests, and other self care items.
All items at the Community Self Serve Herb Stations are available for Pay What You Can Donation with an encouragement to share items with family and friends. Donations are used by The Compassion Apothecary to make single herb tinctures. herbal teas, and other care items to be added to the stations for community availability and use. The Compassion Apothecary also donates 5% of all retail sales to the Compassion Access Project.
Community Self Serve Herb Stations can currently be found at theses locations:
~ Radical Healing: The Black House Lobby
~ Open Door Massage & Broken Body Tattoo
~ The People's Solidarity Hub
~ Observable Universe & Austin Dixon PWYC Acupuncture
~ Obsydian Studio
~ The LGBTQ Center of Durham
~ Respite in the Round
~ Perfect Lovers Coffee
** We also support the Mobile Drag Care Station that serves our local drag family, The House of Coxx, and guest performers! We believe that Drag is Art and brings joy to our community.
