Dragonfly Wellness Center

Dragonfly Wellness Center is the result of a group of women dedicated to holistic, natural healing in all its forms and modalities.  From the start, we didn’t want it to just be a typical “pot shop” but rather a community resource for people seeking pure and potent cannabis medicines.  AND for people seeking the education and information they would need to understand how cannabis heals and how best to choose and use their cannabis medicine.

Education has always been key to Dragonfly’s identity.  We think the word “holistic” is perfect for one of the oldest and most broadly used herbal remedies of all — cannabis, with its 5,000-year written history of healing.  And, like all healing herbs, it must be integrated into a comprehensive approach that includes nutrition, exercise, movement, music, meditation, spirituality, and all treatments that consider the body as a whole, not a collection of segmented parts.

The legalized and regulated cannabis marketplace, for the most part, commodifies and separates natural herbs and supplements, organic food, and sustainable lifestyles initiatives. Even the main entity that regulates licensed cannabis in the state, forbids dispensaries from also selling herbs that serve as good companions to cannabis, such as turmeric, lavender, comfrey and many others.  Efforts to integrate natural, holistic healing products and modalities are blocked by such policies.

Additionally, with the California legalization and regulation of this precious herb, a vast amount of “on-the-quick” cannabis products have flooded the shelves of both dispensaries and natural food stores.  These products include binders, fillers, isolates, and are made with processes that can diminish the power of the phytocannabinoids.  Education is even more critical to separate impure and ineffective products from those that truly contribute to healing and resolving “dis-ease.”
