{We love sharing stories of local, mom-owned businesses as well as products we think our readers will enjoy. That’s why we are doubly excited to partner with Soothie Suckers for this sponsored post.}

Marietta-SootheSuckersYears ago, local mom Marietta Harrison discovered the health benefits of herbs while researching them with her kids as a homeschooling mom.  As her interest grew and she learned more, she also realized that there were very few herbal remedies for kids (let alone something that tasted good).

After the birth of her fifth child, her passion became the cool idea to put good stuff in a Popsicle. She partnered with renowned experts in the field of herbal medicine to create Soothie Suckers, herbal ice pops available in two flavors:

  • Orange/Immune Support
  • Grape/Nasal Support (Upper respiratory system)

Soothie Suckers herbal dietary supplement for kids

Today, Soothie Suckers provide families with a much needed option in the natural and alternative remedy category.

“I want to empower families to make alternative health care choices without sacrificing taste. Because why shouldn’t the good stuff TASTE good too?  Kids come first, so providing herbal supports to children and their families is important to me because little bodies especially benefit from gentle plant support as they grow.”  ~Marietta

Soothie Suckers was earning accolades even before it was available to purchase when it received the Oregon Entrepreneurs Concept Award in 2011. It also received the Natural Products Expo West Editor’s Choice Award in 2012 for best new product. Soothie Suckers officially hit shelves in 2013 and is now available at New Seasons Market, Whole Foods, Chuck’s Produce, Amazon, iHerb and is coming soon to Haggens. Soothie Suckers are manufactured at a nationally recognized plant to ensure adherence to all regulations and certifications related to safety, quality, and more.
