I am a homeschooling mom of 5 and a RN with a love for herbal medicine, birth and homesteading. I love to help others learn to live a more natural and old fashioned lifestyle while bridging the gap between holistic and modern medicine.
If you have been following me on any social media, you may already have seen the big news I'm about to share with you officially.
Over the last couple of years, I have been running a small online shop that helped my local community with natural health options. One thing that I noticed this past winter was how many people seemed to need better access to me and the products I had to offer. I was getting many messages online asking for guidance.
Out of this, we decided to open up a storefront here in Paradise, CA.
In fitting with our Pioneer Health roots, we named it Vine & Branch Shop.
"I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruits." John 15:5
Expanded Online Shop
We're also thrilled to announce that our online shop at Pioneer Health Ministry now offers even more items! Here are a few of our new additions:
Herbal Salves: Perfect for soothing skin irritations and promoting healing.
Tinctures: Natural, concentrated herbal extracts for various health needs.
Handmade Soaps: Gentle and nourishing, made with all-natural ingredients.
Natural Body Products: Great for varying skin issues and ways to assist with natural healing from the outside in.
Educational Resources
Don't forget to check out the Pioneer Health Homestead blog, where you’ll find a wealth of educational resources on holistic health and natural remedies. We’re committed to providing you with compassionate, practical advice to support your well-being.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you at our new shop or online!
Warm regards,
Serra Blaine RN, BSN, Certified Herbalist

With opening a storefront, I have increased my inventory quite a bit and increased my shipping availabilities with it.
We have added a couple new items to the shop. We now offer an Elderberry Syrup Quick Kit, Cough & Sore Throat Quick Kit, and our Lung & Chest Congestion Quick Kit!
These allow you to easily make your syrup at home. No measurements are required!
These are also great for shipping! You can add maple syrup instead of honey, or even apple cider vinegar if desired!
Along with all of this, I have been steadily adding more educational resources to the blog, Pioneer Health Hometsead.
All Natural Sunscreen Recipe
Finding a natural sunscreen recipe that effectively protects your family’s skin without harmful chemicals can be challenging. As parents, we know the importance of shielding our children from the sun’s damaging rays while ensuring their safety and well-being. That’s why I created SunGuard Natural Sunscreen—a homemade, all-natural solution designed with your family’s health in mind.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the 16 amazing health benefits of bath salts. We’ll discuss how they can relieve stress and muscle pain, aid in detoxification, and promote better sleep. Additionally, we’ll delve into their skin-enhancing properties, including exfoliation and hydration, and explain how they support respiratory health, circulation, and immune function.

Here’s What I Wish I Had When I Started Herbalism Hi Reader, As I dive deeper into herbalism school this season, I’ve been reflecting a lot on how I first got started with herbs.
