Brian and Lee Ann King
Brian and Lee Ann King are the owners of Specialty Herbal Products. Brian is a registered, practicing pharmacist. He has always had a love of nature. After reading the book, “The Healing Herbs,” Brian tried Echinacea for a cold and was amazed that it really worked. After personally experimenting with several other herbs, he was more convinced that herbal medicine was a safe and powerful alternative to modern synthetic prescription drugs. To share that revelation and to take part in it, Brian started Specialty Herbal Products in 1993. Lee Ann joined the team when the store relocated in April, 2018. She oversees store management, new customer development and marketing. She also takes care of technical issues, website development and answers our email inquiries. Lee Ann’s care and love of people finds expression in a number of ways for Specialty Herbal. She is great with one on one interactions with people and their health issues. Lee Ann reaches out to the local community to find ways in which Specialty Herbal can serve those who need our services.
