About Us

Rebecca Montrone Herbalist Nutritionist.jpg

Rebecca L. Montrone holds a bachelor of science degree in holistic nutrition and is presently continuing on to complete her graduate work. At the same time she maintains a private consulting practice and botanical pharmacy. Rebecca's passion for health and vitality began when she opened her mother's copy of Adelle Davis' Let's Have Healthy Children many years ago - when Rebecca was still in her teens. After tragically losing her mother to Alzheimer's disease, when her mother was only 58, Rebecca resolved to discover and share as much as possible about how to prevent disease and enjoy a long life of vibrant health. Apprenticed at "the knee" of her father, compounding pharmacist E. George Roentsch (pictured above right) - of The Apothecary in Keene, New Hampshire - Rebecca carries on her family's multi-generational mortar & pestle tradition using the medicines of the earth.

"The apothecary of this country is

qualified by education to attend the bedside of the sick,

and, being in general better acquainted with pharmacy

than the physicians of English universities...

is often the most successful practitioner."

- JEREMIAH JENKINS, "OBSERVATIONS ON THE PRESENT STATE OF THE PROFESSION AND TRADE OF MEDICINE, 1810"

Why "Wondrous Roots?"

Glad you asked! The answer is three-fold:

1. Family "Roots" - as above

2. "Roots" of Health & Disease - Seemingly unrelated health issues in an individual often stem from just one, two, three... "root" causes. Discovering and addressing these "roots" from a holistic perspective can in many cases bring dramatic results.

3. "Roots" & Medicines of the Earth - Using the healing powers of nature - God's magnificent provision! - to bring restoration and vitality.
