About Khuya
Khuya is a woman owned business focused on sustainable herbal remedies created from wild and local sources. Khuya began after a life-changing journey in Perú, where inspiration flowed from the rivers of the valley and the stories of the people. Khuya (Koo-yah) means ‘Love’ in Quechua, which is one of the native languages of Perú. Our intention here at Khuya is to let Love breathe life into the center of all our herbal remedies. For love is where all life begins and where all of life will return.
At Khuya, we believe that plants are just as sentient and alive with wisdom as we are. That’s why we focus on sustainable sources and giving back to the land. Whether by wild-crafting in the mountains of the southwest or from organic farms, Khuya insures that the relationship between plants and people are harmonious, balanced, and reciprocal. We also believe that it adds just the right amount of magic to ensure that the products you get are of highest quality and potency.
Meet the Herbalist:
My name is Amara Stack and I am the founder, creator, and herbalist behind Khuya Remedies. I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology with an emphasis in Botany. I then embarked on a two year herbology life course beginning with Sacred Wildness of Flagstaff and continuing on to an innumerable amount of wise people in Perú. I learned permaculture with Reviveolution in the Sacred Valley of Perú. I learned herbalism with some amazing herbalists and kombucha masters at Willka Hampi. I lived and studied with a local alchemist tucked away in the powerful mountains of Perú. When I came back to the States, I knew what I had to do. The only thing I ever wanted to do, which was to start my own business dedicated to the wisdom of the plants and people I have been blessed to know. My prayer is that we all learn how to grow and forage our own medicines in a way that is balanced and harmonious; a relationship that places priority in the preservation and slow, methodical listening of Nature.
