About Us


 

Our Story

Wellinhand® Action Remedies proudly creates topically applied herbal answers for common and confidential conditions. Our certified vegan and cruelty-free products set the standard for purity, freshness, and effectiveness. 

Wellinhand® was born when Linda Doby, our Founder and Director, used her passion for herbal healing to develop a natural cure for her own tendinitis. Thrilled at her remarkable pain relief, Linda named the product Therapy Oil™ and began sharing it with the general public through friends and local markets. The pivotal moment came in 1994 when Therapy Oil™ was judged “Outstanding” by master herbalists and awarded Grand Prize at the second International Herb Symposium. Propelled by enthusiastic word-of-mouth recommendations following this auspicious award, Linda went on to develop our range of naturally effective solutions for common health issues. In response to growing demand for natural health and body care products, in 2002 we moved into our 13,000 sq. ft. Wellinhand® Center in Forest, Virginia, a dedicated facility where we create, blend, and package our products for distributors, retailers, and individuals alike.

Today we continue to be driven by the same passion for natural relief. We develop each of our formulas with our customers' needs in mind and we are fueled by their glowing reviews of our products. Because we know that our products appeal to the growing number of people concerned about applying synthetic chemicals to their bodies, we only use the freshest, purest ingredients in our formulas. We've stayed true to our local roots, too - that's why we never send our products elsewhere to be manufactured. Since the very beginning, Linda has blended every drop of our unique formulas by hand to ensure potency and effectiveness. In keeping with our commitment to animal rights, our products are certified vegan and cruelty-free. Critters play no role in our research, production, or testing of Wellinhand® products. They sure do a lot for morale, though!

Our Founder

Linda Doby founded Wellinhand Action Remedies® in 1994 after using her herbal wisdom to find a cure for her own painful tendinitis. The all-natural, topically applied herbal and aromatherapy formula she created is the amazingly versatile and award-winning product that we know today as Therapy Oil. Linda went on to develop our entire range of topically applied herbal answers for common and confidential conditions, and now as our Director and Product Formulator she continues to formulate and hand-blend each and every one of our products to ensure quality and freshness. 

As a passionate autodidact who believes in the value of self-education, Linda is driven by her deep passion for learning and healing. She earned her Master's degree in Deaf Education from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania and worked as a special education teacher before turning to the natural products industry. She acquired her vast knowledge of herbs and natural healing from books, herbal masters, and natural healing experts throughout the country and the world. 

Linda and her husband homeschooled all of their four children and raised them on a vegan diet. As a devout vegetarian since 1977, Linda's commitment to animal rights naturally extends to Wellinhand®, where she has never involved animals in the production or testing of her formulas. 

In addition to running Wellinhand®, Linda co-founded the Green Products Alliance, a network of natural personal care product companies dedicated to socially responsible business practices.

Linda is currently training as a lawyer through the Virginia Law Reader Program to champion natural healing and work with naturopathic doctors. You can read about how she is training to be an attorney without law school at the Virginia Board of Bar Examiners website. Linda is endeavoring to streamline her professional and legal academic life in order to spend more time traveling and enjoying her adult children here and abroad. Whenever she has to be out of the office, she forwards her phone calls to her cell phone. This way when you call, you speak to the person who actually makes your products. She then alerts her assistant to process your order for delivery. Her kids keep her ultra-modern and her beloved staff clear all her efficiency roadblocks. The result is that her brilliant mind need never stop creating and providing for her family, her staff, and her customers. 

Why Buy Natural?

Drugs Take. Herbs Give. 

What we put on our skin matters. As the largest organ in our bodies, the skin has a remarkable capability for absorption. Conventional medications and personal care products can contain toxins and artificial chemicals that seep through the skin and into the bloodstream. Commercial body wash, for instance, is laden with chemical detergents, lathering agents, artificial fragrance, and preservatives. When absorbed into the body and accumulated over time, these chemicals can be allergens, reproductive toxicants, carcinogens, and neurotoxins.

Conventional drugs often require patients to trade effectiveness with dangerous and unpleasant side effects that can be worse than the ailment itself. Acne medication, for instance, has been linked to depression and increased suicide rates in teens. But consumers who choose products labeled as “natural” or “organic” as a safe alternative might be surprised to learn that these products may not be as wholesome as they seem. Many conventional preparations have one active ingredient in a base of cheap, synthetic filler ingredients that can be dangerous to our health.

So how can we be sure that our cosmetics are truly safe? Go all natural! It is possible to positively affect many common health issues using simple, readily available alternatives. Truly natural products enhance your wellbeing without any nasty side effects, giving you peace of mind that you’re using a safe, nourishing, and effective solution.

At Wellinhand Action Remedies®, we believe that what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it. Our topically applied herbal formulas contain solely plant-based ingredients like olive oil, castile soap, pure essential oils, organic herbs, and nothing else - no parabens, no sodium laureth or lauryl sulfates, or petrochemicals. Every ingredient in our products is active and nourishing so you can be sure that you're treating your body with real, honest herbs. Our products are certified cruelty-free and vegan.

How do we make our special formulas so powerfully effective? We Super-Infuse! Super-Infusions are the highest concentration of organic and wildcrafted herbs which we process by traditional methods in the finest menstruums of rich oils, local apple cider vinegars and/or food grade alcohol to extract the highest amount of beneficial properties from the plant. At Wellinhand® we Super-Infuse the herbs for all of our products right here at our facility, and then we hand-blend them into our formulas. Chances are that Linda just finished blending the products you are about order today.

Don't take the risk of using dangerous chemicals on your skin. Go natural! Our products have a full satisfaction guarantee so you have nothing to lose.
