Truly my absolute favorite place and will make the detour everyone in passing through the area just for this shop! Anna is the absolute best and helped create so many different herbal aromatherapy blends. So grateful this place exits! I'm like a kid in a candy shop coming in every time. Thank you!! read more

A Joshua Tree Gem! Greatful Desert is an absolute must-stop every time we're in the Joshua Tree area. I love everything about this place--the oils and sprays are truly unique, high quality, and best of all, very affordable. The owner is incredibly kind and helpful, always taking time to share knowledge and recommendations. The whole shop has such good energy--it's one of those places that just feels special the moment you walk in. I can't recommend it enough. I love this place! read more

Long time customer -Wonderful local spot that meets my needs for oils, tinctures and many other herbal concoctions. Super helpful staff - knowledgeable and kind- love it!! read more

Good selection of products and the lady working was very knowledgeable and helpful with everything we needed!

Very lucky to have had enough time in my schedule to drop by this shop. I've been on the hunt for some new tinctures and heard that this little shop had a great selection of formulated and single formula tinctures. Its a neatly organized shop in a private parking lot shared with the multitude of other businesses there. I was able to utilize the chart they had on the wall to know the cost of each type of tincture based on name and size. The guy working was nice in telling me somewhat about the different kinds and what benefits they aim to do. I left with Heart (helps with anxiety, depression, and PTSD, balancing the cardiovascular system), Immunity Power (helps those with weakened or compromised immune systems to combat illness), and Fest Fuel (for future days of festival excursions and it also works when you're feeling burnt out from other things like working too much or going on a different type of trip - being overworked both emotionally and physically). So far, so good! I will most likely make this a go-to spot every time I'm within the area to pick up some goodies. :] read more

Beautiful little shop with a great selection of products. Very reasonably priced. And my favorite thing is you can saddle right up to the aromatherapy bar and make your own potion. I love doing this and it makes such nice gifts. They added a very pretty personalized label as well. My selection smelled amazing and it's such a wonderful unique thing to gift someone special. I found the service lovely and very helpful. read more

See all

You'd probably be grateful for this herb shop if you're needing some herbal meds, I was very impressed with the selection and variety. I worked for a couple years at an herb store where we made custom teas and tincture blends, but also had a ton of other companies herbal tinctures, pills, teas, etc. Grateful Desert Herb Shoppe has all the herbal medicines one might need, plus soaps and balms, lotions and body care. There's also sage bundles, palo santo wooden sticks, handmade jewelry and natural home decor trinkets. Only downside is when we entered, there was not one other customer and the person behind the counter didn't even acknowledge us, and as we walked around, we decided to leave and again, I said, "thanks" and she barely looked up at us. O'well. read more

Grateful Desert is abundant in epic goodness. Jenny - the visionary behind this herbal haven - aims to create a flourishing community where people can go to acquire high quality herbal products, get knowledgeable information on preventive health, and to learn about therapeutic herbalism (see website - http://gratefuldesert.co...). Her products are blossoming with her intuitive knowledge of herbs and it's evident in talking with her - that she is extremely knowledgeable about healing with herbs and has the uncanny ability to treat each individual with genuine care and customized herbs. I was especially impressed with her herbal sprays which I discovered at the Joshua Tree Music Festival. They were invigorating and smelled enchanting. Though unfortunately Jenny was out of them at the festival - I was so smitten by them - that I went online and ordered three of them. If you happen to be in Joshua Tree - a visit to Grateful Desert will help you appreciate life and will renew your physical and mental spirit. If you don't have the ability to venture that far - just check out Jenny's website and try some of her blissful concoctions. Trust. read more

They have an amazing selection of essential oils and tinctures as well as everything from Tibetan wraps, books, cacao and an Oracle deck from a local artist. The team is also very knowledgeable. But my far the best part is the scent bar and being able to work with the tram to blend custom scents based on the smell. I made 4 different ones over two visits. It was an amazing experience. Truly unique and each of my scents makes me so happy (I did two rollers to apply to the body, essential oil blend to be diffused and a spray. And each one I could create my own name for my blend! It was the highlight of my visit to Joshua Tree. Check it out if you are in the area! (I also love my Tibetan blanket and my Oracle deck) read more

I LOVE THIS STORE! I bought the small bottle of Jenny Q's Herbals Middle Eastern Hair Oil and I cannot stop smelling my hair, my friends can't stop smelling my hair and I want to bathe myself in this oil. What on earth is in this! It's the most luxuriously delicious hair oil I have ever tried. This store is fantastic. Thank you Jenny Q for an inspiring beautiful shop. I can't wait to return. read more

Grateful Desert - This hair oil is delicious. I bought a small bottle but should have bought the large one! It's that good! - Health Markets Near Me - Joshua Tree, California

Magical. When I first came here I just couldn't process how magical the desert and the Grateful Desert Store. The aura and it's magic. A Happy Mama spray? Just reordered a new batch. There was a boo boo on the shipping and they resolved the issue immediately. I got my spray which will be in my maternity bag, why I ordered it. Yes, because internally I know it's coming from a spiritual place with healing powers. Something a mama wants when she brings her baby to earth. Grateful Desert family, thank you. Aromatherapy sprays are beyond this planet!!!! They have many other products. But! The magical powers are ROCK SOLID. I'll ask the owner someday because I know she does something wonderful. read more

I'm only giving this place one star for their customer service. Walked around the store for 10 minutes without one "Hello." Instead the person at the counter ignored us being there and continued talking business while they lost out on business today. Rude. Tip: Overhearing the person is a shop owner, next time say hello or one moment I'll be with you to your customer and not ignore a potential paying customer. read more

First time in this store, I was prepared to love it. The girl behind the register was more interested in her phone than in actually working. I would have loved to have a little intro to the shop. Not sure I will waste my time again read more

Amazing!! This place has it all! So many herbal medicine options, natural shampoos, conditioners, soaps, lotions. And they all smell so lovely! & what else? It is extremely inexpensive!! This is especially true if you are from LA, you know these little shops down here charge a leg and an arm for quality herbal products like these. I wish I lived closer, because I would definitely come back! They had so many options and products, it was almost overwhelming (in a good way). If you are into herbal and natural medicine /healing, this is the place for you! Only reason why I am giving it 4 stars is because of the cashier. I asked him a few questions about his products and he answered, "I don't know" to all of them. I feel like he should know.. since he works there lol! read more

I love Grateful Desert. This is where I load up on my tinctures, essential oils and sage bundles. The variety here is great when it comes to salves, skincare, plant medicine and more. I am blessed that Grateful Desert is here because it is rare to find such a shop like this. Sure Sprouts, Whole Foods etc will have a section of tinctures but the tinctures at Grateful Desert are made by the owner. Granted she carries other lines but I like that it feels more personal and for some reason I feel the medicine of the plant is stronger. Another great brand here is Lone Pine. Ladies when it comes to our moon time you gotta have Shark Week by Lone Pine it helps mellow me out and ease with the cramps. Also the Womyn's Blend made by Jenny Q (owner of Grateful Desert) is another one of my favorites to help ease with bloating and pain of my moon time. So, yes this place is awesome. If you are into herbs and want to make Nourishing Herbal Infusions, you can buy bulk herbs at the Joshua Tree Health Food Store next to Grateful Desert. They have an array of herbs and spices that you can buy by the oz or by the pound. Super grateful for both of these amazing shops in the desert. read more

This place is amazing! Have stopped by here several times whenever I'm visiting Joshua Tree from LA and am never disappointed. The Center aromatherapy spray is so refreshing and uplifting.. highly recommend that one! read more

Cool shop with organic soaps, creams, and oils. They have a chocolate section with great vegan selections. There was also an array of rings and jewellery with stones for purchase. I got the sense that they were mainly happy to serve those who looked uber hippy and it was a little disconcerting to hear the "medicinal advice" that was given to other customers regarding wound care but to each their own! read more

This shop is a special gem not to miss in the village of Joshua Tree. A remarkable, high quality aromatherapy/fragrance bar, incredible proprietary herbal tinctures by a master alchemist, an extensive fair trade chocolate bar area, topped with delightful sundries, unique souvenirs and maker products. read more

Oh my gosh this place is amazing! Jenny the owner and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and welcoming it's literally everything you want out of a desert shop. Queer woman-owned organic products vegan products handmade products dope jewelry and on and on! We bought a few of the tinkatures and some are even pet friendly which is super exciting. My girlfriend and I are from Orange County so encountering a shop like this run by a person of color who was queer and a woman making products that are not up to butt expensive was a dream. The shop could make a killing in Newport. But I'm glad to found such a viberent culture in a sweet little desert town. Much love to the who place:)) read more

This place has a remarkable array of herbs and art. I bought the most beautiful postcards here. The gentleman at the front was very kind and helpful, we spoke at length about the art on one of the walls, some postcards and a few herbal mixtures (as I had a specific need). It's a lovely store, a great resource for Joshua Tree. I need never take my herb bag with me because I can pick up whatever I come to need when I visit the desert right here. And it's minutes from the entrance to the park. read more

This place is awesome, a small shop in the heart of Joshua Tree with a big heart in a little gem of a small town. Jennie's tinctures are beautifully healing, as her natural and personalized scents. also find some yummy foods incl. super duper delish chocolate, fun clothing and locally made stuff. A must see. And, Jenny, well, she is smart as a whip, and zeroes in real fast on what's needed! read more

After visiting the farmers market near by I stumbled upon this place. Once I opened the door I was immediately welcomed with the smell of essential oils. This place has a really cool vibe and the staff were very helpful and kind. Their aroma bar had so many oils! I could spend hours smelling them all. I made a scent that suited me. Once my combination of oils were made, the staff member recorded it and saved it so that when I return I can have exactly what I made. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone. read more

My oasis in the desert. I bought tea, a cold/cough tincture and gifts for friends. I'll hit up this store every time I come to JT. Their jewelry is enticing and their soaps all look fun to use. Most of the products are by local artisans. read more

Great vibes. House made tinctures. A very cute store with the sweetest owner. I am so stoked to have this sweet spot in downtown jtree!

My mother had ordered me some specialty tinctures from here and the problems I was having have significantly improved! Thanks so much! Awesome little shop as well:) read more

I love The Grateful Desert store! I live in Colorado and stayed at an air bnb and they had the Healing Lotion which I loved!! I have also bought the shampoo and I am getting ready to order more. Thank you Grateful Desert for your wonderful products!! read more

Among Joshua Tree Artists and Musicians, there are also healers. Jenny Q has become one of my healers with this shop. Not only do you find remedies for many ailments through her tinctures, but there are also locally crafted products such as Kat & Brett's kreamy soaps (both in the box & the old school way they use to sale just raw good honest soap!), to "green" clothing made from rejected fabric that are fabulous, as well MiddleEastern staples such as olive oil, olives, and tahini (for your homemade hummus). Local artist James Hammons art can be found in the form of great mugs. This is what Joshua Tree was born to be and should remain to be....a healing resource...an oasis for those seeking good health. Jenny Q, thank you for being another gem in Joshua Tree. We wish you all the success you deserve!! Rosa's pick: Tension tamer #2 body oil...use it as a perfume when really stressed! Shop local, START HERE...you & your body will thank me! read more
