Our story
Rooted in science. Guided by tradition.
Arrai's Botanicals was born from a deep reverence for the healing power of plants and a desire to share that wisdom with others.
How it all began
LeRaih grew up surrounded by gardens, herbal remedies, and the quiet knowledge passed down through generations of her family. Her great-grandmother lived to be 100 on a simple herbal regimen designed by her grandfather. Inspired, she went to naturopathic medical school in the Pacific Northwest to deepen her knowledge of plant chemistry and pathology. What started as a personal practice — brewing teas, making salves, and studying plant medicine — slowly became a calling.
After years of watching her family advocate for alternative healing methods, LeRaih founded Arrai's Botanicals in 2019 while still attending Bastyr University. While there she cultivated Arrai's Botanicals into an American brand with TCM influences. Since completing her undergrad in Herbal Sciences, she went on to pursue a career in the fitness industry as a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach. With over 7 years of experience in both industries, she crafts her formulas to meet the specific needs of individuals looking for holistic results. Every formula is developed slowly, tested thoroughly, and made with the same care she would give her own family.
Today, Arrai's Botanicals partners with Bushcraft Herbal Alchemy, a brand created by her husband - Bevlon. Inspired by his own upbringing in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean, Bevlon founded Bushcraft Herbal Alchemy in 2017 and together they offer a growing line of teas, topicals, and tonics — each one a reflection of their belief that plants, when respected and used wisely, are among our most powerful allies.
Our herbal philosophy
We believe in whole-plant medicine, slow preparation, and honest formulation. No shortcuts. No fillers. Just plants doing what they do best.
Whole-plant integrity
We use whole herbs, not isolated extracts, to preserve the full spectrum of naturally occurring compounds that work synergistically in the body.
Slow infusion
Our oils, tinctures, and balms are infused over weeks — not hours — allowing the plant's properties to fully transfer into the carrier medium.
Minimal processing
We keep processing to a minimum. The fewer steps between the plant and the product, the more of the plant's intelligence remains intact.
Transparency first
Every ingredient is listed, every sourcing decision is intentional, and we never hide behind proprietary blends or vague labeling.
Where our ingredients come from
We source with the same care we put into formulating. That means prioritizing organic, ethically wildcrafted, and small-farm herbs whenever possible.
Certified organic
The majority of our herbs are certified organic, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
Ethically wildcrafted
Some herbs are wildcrafted from pristine, unpolluted environments by experienced foragers who harvest sustainably.
Small-farm partnerships
We partner with small, independent herb farms who share our values around soil health, biodiversity, and fair labor.
Tested for purity
All incoming herbs are inspected and, where appropriate, tested for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial contamination.
