Jill Ruttenberg
founder, Red. Mt. Remedies

Red Mountain Remedies based in Tucson, Arizona, was created by herbalist Jill Ruttenberg. Drawing on her experience as a mother who uses natural remedies to treat herself and her family, Jill started Red Mt. Remedies in order to provide people with more information about treating common ailments naturally. "The more I learned, the more I felt compelled to share. Parents, especially, feel so helpless when their child gets sick in the middle of the night, or on a weekend when their doctor's office is closed. I knew there were safe remedies they could give to their kids to help right away, so I started teaching small living-room seminars, just inviting friends. I heard questions like 'What brands and products really work? Are they safe? How do I adjust the dosage for different ages? How much should I pay for herbal remedies? and, Where do I find them?' I realized most people simply do not have the time it takes, or the resources to sift through all the products and information out there." Jill consulted many herbalists, homeopaths and acupuncturists in selecting the products found in Nature in a Box and Remedies for the Road. Ten years of experience as a Certified Massage Therapist allowed her to listen and learn from clients, teachers, mothers and friends. As a writer for health publications, her interviews with leaders in the field of natural health, including Dr. Andrew Weil and master herbalist Michael Tierra, added to her depth of knowledge. "Over and over I have been shown that when illness is treated at its first stages, the body responds with its own innate healing power, and good health is often quickly restored. Nature is here to support us to become stronger and more whole in body, mind and spirit. It is with great joy that I share my knowledge and these helpful products with you."
