Testimonials

Herbalism Course:

Katie: Class with Donna and our group is the highlight of my week. I am grateful for Donna's unique approach which considers both scientific/medical and spiritual/intuitive perspectives, and for the opportunity to connect with classmates in a supportive space. I've taken a number of online courses where I've felt drained from staring at the screen, but this experience feels much more intimate, engaging, and connected and is something I look forward to every week!

Christine: I so desperately love this class.

Shanna: I’m genuinely grateful that I stumbled upon your shop (whenever that was?) shortly after you’d opened. Your work feels touched by your artistry. I can feel the energy you infuse into each medicine I’ve benefited from. Your work and approach are very inspiring to me. And this course is both grounding and opening in ways I’ve really needed.

CBD Oil:

John: Hello Donna. I’m very happy with my CBD oil. It makes me feel calm and when the weather changes it takes away the mild joint pain that I experience. Thanks!!

Brandy: I received mine in the mail last week, and it helps my hip pain and muscle pain from 12-hour shifts as an RN. Thanks so much! Your CBD is definitely the best I’ve ever tried.

Mary Ellen: “I feel great. Honestly, I’ve never felt better.” Mary Ellen has been using both Reishi Maintain and CBD for 3 months. She had a host of symptoms including chronic pain.

Maria: “I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 2 years ago… With the extreme temperatures, I feel a lot of spasticity. I started taking Spiral Herbal Remedies about a month ago and it’s amazing how it improves my day to day, with my cramps… I highly recommend it.” Video link to her testimonial here.

Richard: I took the CBD before the anesthesia wore off. I’ve been taking it about every four to six hours and I’ve had no pain. None at all. I had no idea. (Had a 4-inch melanoma removed from his forearm.)

Vanessa: I’ve used other CBD oils from other companies - Alchemist’s Kitchen and CBDfx (which claims to be the #1 CBD company in the US). I had to take significantly larger doses with both companies and I like the taste of yours much better.

Jonathan: We met in the pop up a few weeks ago (the critical care attending). Just wanted to say the CBD oil has helped me greatly. I definitely noticed the difference between your product vs. the commercial ones.I restocked for me and friends as well as sharing your website to fellow co-workers.

Carina: (Suffered from chronic migraines) Your CBD oil has changed my life drastically! My condition is actually fairly common and most people I’ve spoken to about it struggle for daily help with it. CBD could be their answer too and I love supporting women-owned businesses.

Gunnar: I bought your CBD tincture a while back at the Artists and Fleas in Brooklyn and love your product! I ran out and tried another one (from Park Slope Food Coop) but it doesn’t do the same and is not as great in effect or taste as yours, it tastes like old bong water.

Ethan: The best way to describe it is that it put me in balance. I’m a general foreman in construction. I had anxiety going to work due to the pressure, making sure everyone is doing their job. After about 1 week I started to notice a dramatic difference. That was when a worker came up to me and said, “You seem really relaxed.”

Anonymous: I was having a full-on panic attack yesterday. I came back to buy some because what you gave me worked. Thank you!

Gustavo: It worked right away and held me for the rest of the day.

Wendy: I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to use it before work but it just calmed me down and I was able to pull through the day with ease.

CBD Salve:

Anna: I'm in shock, the pain is gone and it happened immediately. Thank you!

Ben: I wanted to stop by to tell you that my mom used the salve on her wrist for a couple of weeks and the pain and swelling went away completely. (His mom had surgery on her wrist 2 months prior.)

Beth: What just happened? It feels great.

Jen: (Had wrist surgery 3 mo prior to starting to use the salve and was going to have a second surgery to remove the plate because her wrist was so painful.)

It works! It gets rid of the nerve pain. I keep it in my purse and take it everywhere I go.

Sue: Bless donnaclearyartandherbalism!

Eli: I didn’t want to believe it but it worked. Really fast! So I’m back to buy some.

Reishi Maintain:

Austin: “… the Reishi Maintain helped with the aftermath of brain fog, malaise… [After being infected with Covid]

Alexia:  The most recent test i took came back with the results that my inflammation had gone down substantially (back to normal levels) and i have been feeling a lot better physically as well as mentally. Using your products has helped me a lot! I re-ordered the reishi maintain because i have noticed it works quite well for my immune system and inflammation, etc.  

Matt re his Girlfriend (Vaginal Herpes) In the past year or so, my girlfriend would get tingling and/or a breakout during or immediately following her period but in the past 2 months/periods there has been nothing! She has been using the (Anti-Viral Oil - available online soon) for 2 months about 3-5 times a week, on and around the location where she gets the breakouts. In addition [she] has been taking the reishi 3-4 times a week. So cool!!!!… Thank you so much from both of us!!

Lose The *Itch Plantain Salve:

Gae: My boyfriend is referring your exemplary Plantain Salve to his sister for her boyfriend, who has the same nearly full-body, insanely itchy skin my bf had last year.
He went through a monstrous marathon … I can attest.
Persisted for many months, when finally he broke down and took Percoset from the hospital which truly drove him to true hell and back.
Exactly same sitch with the other bf. He’s going out of his mind.
Want to report that of the 30-40 different products I sent him last year, my bf said yours was the most effective. Btw—I will order some of your salve for my mom as well. This itchy skin thing appears to be an invisible epidemic.

Danny: I have a bad case of poison ivy. I was using Benadryl and hydrocortisone with mixed results. The Benadryl made me sleepy, the cortisone is a steroid, which is a little scary. I started using Lose the *Itch yesterday, applying it twice. The itching went away right away. I used it again today and the redness has gone down significantly. I expect that by tomorrow, I’ll barely be able to see it at all.

Sophie: The plantain salve already saved me! I was moving numerous bundles of sharp bear grass last night and had hundreds of stinging cuts on my arms. One application of the salve and a few minutes later the pain and inflammation stopped. In one night of sleep and a second application, the cuts are healing faster than I could imagine. When this has happened in the past it usually takes days and days to stop hurting and start healing. So, thank you so much already!!!

Joan: I had a dry itchy spot on my inner eye for 3-5 years. In less than a week, I saw results and now it’s gone! I’ve used Locoid from my dermatologist in the past and it didn’t work.

Liv: I swear my face has shown such an improvement!! I’ve been using it on my face as a topical before bed! My acne and scars disappeared.

Cindi: My daughter used it on her psoriasis on her elbows & it cleared it up totally! 

Sue: I had some poison ivy that had become infected. It was a big mess. I put the salve on and it was all gone in 2 days.

Kirsten: I put some on my wart with a bandage and it’s gone!!

Ben: My mother has pretty bad eczema. This is the only thing she’ll use. She had me come get some more so I can bring it to England next week when I visit.

Kim: My cuticles were red and swollen. I put the salve on, covered them with bandaids overnight and in the morning the swelling and redness were gone. My skin was normal color again!

Maryann: I had bright red patches on my legs that I couldn't stop scratching. I put the plantain salve on and the next day they were completely gone. Amazing!!!!

Richard: I think this is your best product. I get these crusty growths on my skin all the time. I’ve been applying the Lose the *Itch salve to them every day. Then they just fall off.

Comparing Plantain Salve to CBD Salve on three people who have eczema: The Plantain worked better for the itch and inflammation.

Gone Viral:

Maryann “You’re a miracle worker. I can’t remember ever feeling that horrible. I took the Gone Viral and started to feel better right away.”

Austin: “I think the Gone Viral saved my husband and me from COVID. I’ve tested positive for the Antibody… And then the Reishi Maintain helped with the aftermath of brain fog, malaise..

Gail: I use the Gone Viral whenever I feel something coming. By the next morning, I feel 100% better. So, it works.

Brittany: The Gone Viral cleared out my post-nasal drip. Amazing!

Mel: I was getting sick this week officially. Sore throat, chills, you name it. I’ve been taking the virus stuff for maybe 3-4 days. I am like nearly brand new! No Sudafed, no Advil, nothing. It’s a miracle!! Thank you so much!

Maima: This stuff really works. It felt like my tooth was infected, my neck was getting swollen. It’s almost gone. (next day)

Anti Viral Tea:

Your antiviral tea is saving my ass at the moment. I feel so centered and calm drinking.

Calm The F* Down Tea:

DJ: I love the teas. They’re so good! I’ll be back for more.

Cool Calm and Collect Yourself Tea:

DJ: I love the teas. They’re so good!! I’ll be back for more.

CBD Body Soothe:

Sue: Just showered up after a run and my body isn’t aching for once! Forgot how much I liked it after the last bottle.

Ginkgo blend Tincture:

Vicky: My blood pressure was 143/99. I divided the dose in half - taking half in the morning and half in the evening and it lowered my blood pressure in just 3 days. It’s now 125/83. Completely normal. (She reported this after taking it for a week.)

Chill Your Bones Smoking Blend:

Patricia: I’ve been blending the smoking blend with my weed and it definitely helps conserve the weed. It smells and tastes wonderful. I feel more relaxed and more balanced after I’ve blended the two together to tell you the truth.

Kristen: Blending it with weed, it is so relaxing but lighter. IDK how else to describe it. It’s lighter in the way I feel and the way it was smoked.

Jackie: I just smoked it for the first time and it tasted so good!!!

Pat: I love it so much. Weed can be really harsh tasting. This tastes and smells amazing.

Comb Again:

Izzy: (Has alopecia) My eyebrow has regrown, this is applying it 2-3 times a week and left overnight. Isn’t it amazing? Happy to give the scalp a whirl starting tonight.

Amal: Met you at a market downtown about a year back you had asked me to give feedback about your hair loss serum. I got to tell you ever since I am using this oil, my hair is thicker and in good shape. I live in Oman now and would like to order more to my father in law place in NYC AND cant wait to have more of these.

Angelica: Amazing and pretty quick results! (Three weeks so far.) It cured my dandruff, I experienced growth all over my scalp, and my eyebrows grew. 

Anthony: I have tried a couple of treatments with Minoxidil and all it did was stabilize the hair loss. The Comb Again has been incredible. In only one week there has been complete growth all over my head. It’s shocking… There are tiny dots all over my head. (new hair follicles growing hair).

Chai Chai Chai:

Jackie: Just wanted to say that your chai is so amazing. I’ve been savoring a cup as my lunch today.

Flower Essences:

Madeleine: Red Clover [Flower Essence] has elevated both my meditation practice and Reiki healing sessions by what I can only describe as reawakening my third eye. I receive more messages, visions and angelic guidance during my healing practice when using Red Clover and truly recommend it for anyone struggling to calm their mind during meditation. 

Super Reishi Plus:

Vanessa: Can you bring some reishi tomorrow. Feeling like I need it. This is now part of my survival?

Tracy Ann: I met Donna in a dire moment. Besieged by accumulating symptoms (eyes, ears, gut, skin, sleep, fatigue...) that were making life difficult, miserable and increasingly distressing. I was also being subjected to escalating tests without answers, and encouraged to accept everything as a result of menopause and aging. Succumbing wasn't an option, test results were negative and the 'diagnosis' didn't ring true.
Donna graciously suggested I try a few things: the Super Reishi Plus drops, the Lose the Itch Plantain Salve, and the Vite-Achoo Tea.
The change was pretty much immediate. Within days all began to quiet, clear, open and ease up, and has held up even when I forget or miss a period. Donna's products are now part of my kit wherever I am and I couldn't be more relieved to know that I have help... not just from the products I've tried, and found so effective but the likelihood that if something else comes up, there's a place to go for help: Spiral Herbal Remedies.

Donna Cleary: My own testimonial: I’ve been taking Reishi for two years. I noticed that about 4 months after starting Reishi that my ADHD cleared up. I no longer have to search for words or feel like my brain is 5 sentences ahead of my ability to articulate my thoughts. I also haven’t been sick in that time period.

Yoni Yes! Yes! Yes! CBD Lube for Women:

Kori: I had my first double orgasm in a long time with your lube haha! 

Missy: It really worked. The pressure/stretching was gone, everything relaxed, there was no more pain. I’m so happy, thank you!!

Joe: Unbelievable! - from both parties. I lasted so much longer than usual and she climaxed more and longer.

Mariel: It's really great!! I'm using it to help heal irritated skin in that area now. I had a great sleep last night!!

Maggie: It worked great! Thank you!!

George: It was great. I'm not sure what happened, it wasn't numb but the sensation was different, it took longer to climax. My partner and I were so excited. I'm telling everyone.

Beyond the Sea: Face Serum

Nancy: I am 67 years old. I have been using the serum for about a month now . It is amazing and I have stopped using all other facial serums , creams and moisturizers. 
I use the serum just at bedtime. It does such a great job of moisturizing I don’t feel the need for anything in the morning.
My face glows and is so soft and smooth. Previous small rough areas are gone. I used to have small scaly spots on my neck and they are all gone.
I am cleaning out my product supply drawer and will continue your serum for a lifetime. It’s important to note my age cuz I think it’s impressive to note improvement.

Chelsea: I picked up your face oil at a flea market in Brooklyn a few months ago and have become obsessed with it. It's the only oil so far that hasn't irritated my skin and it's helped with everything - so happy I found it and thank you for making such an amazing product :) 

Kaiira: My skin has never looked better!

Peti: I’m obsessed with this formula! Please make bigger bottles!

Alicia: This serum is great! I have combination skin, and I've been so happy with how the serum is moisturizing, while also light enough to keep my skin from getting oily. The cold weather had my nose a little chapped, and this helped immediately. Skin has a good texture and glow with this product. It also smells amazing!

Hope: I am obsessed with this serum. It's yummy! It smells like nature and is chemical free. It feels great.

Love Warrior Wild Rose Spray:

Alexandra: I love this refreshing spray! I spritz my skin after bath or shower to feel relaxed and refreshed. It's also a great gift. Who doesn't love the smell of wild roses?

Kristen: I am literally obsessed with this spray. My friends and I joke and say "be a love warrior!" before spraying it. I use it after I shower to make me feel refreshed, i use it if I'm hungover with a quick spritz to the face, and i also use it as my daily perfume. The scent is so fresh and natural, if I could bathe in it, I would. Already have ordered 2 more of these because I know I'll run out very soon
