Creasy Jane's Herbal Remedies
Ruby Daniels ("Ruby D") comes from a creative and inventive family who were enslaved in Virginia and moved to the Southern coalfields of West Virginia to build a new life after emancipation. She spent many childhood summers in Beckley with her great aunts and grandmother, learning about African American traditions, spirituality, native plants, agriculture, and herbal remedies. This motivated her to start experimenting with plants on her own, and later form her business, Creasy Jane's, named after her great-grandmother, Creasy Jane Pack. Creasy Jane's offers custom made herbal teas and tinctures, herbal soaps, and other topical herbal remedies.
