See Our ProductsPowerful, plant-based, and proven.
We provide powerful natural herb-based products backed by research showing positive effects on many of their therapeutic uses — combined with generations of knowledge from our family, who are native peoples of the Northern New Mexico Rocky Mountain region.
We aim to use no synthetics and only pure, natural ingredients in all our products. Our mission is to provide the utmost quality therapeutic plant-based materials from around the world and from varying cultures of traditional medicine — to provide access to health for everyone.
We also aim to change the face of business by raising the standard of ethical practice from sourcing to final sale.

Twelve years, grown in Albuquerque.
La Bohemia Natural has been part of Albuquerque's maker community for more than twelve years. We got our start as a founding vendor at the beloved Rail Yards Market — there from the very beginning — and Marie sat on several of the committees that worked to bring the market to life, helping build a gathering place for the city's local makers, growers, and artisans.
From those early market days, the business put down roots in the Barelas neighborhood, and before long found its permanent home in Old Town — right next door to Crew Cutz, Albuquerque's renowned local barbershop. Setting up in one of the city's oldest, most walkable neighborhoods, shoulder to shoulder with other independent shops, fits exactly how we like to work: close to the people we make for.
Staying locally produced and manufactured has never been negotiable. Every formula is still mixed, tested, and bottled right here in Albuquerque — and that same in-house capability is what lets us build for other local brands, too. We've developed full custom product lines for our neighbors at Crew Cutz and for Envie Cosmetics, formulating and manufacturing each line start to finish, held to the same no-synthetics standard as our own products.
