Judy Henry: From Herbalist to Entrepreneur

Judy Henry, an entrepreneur from Idaho, USA, has had a lifelong passion for plants and herbs. She spent several years researching the benefits of herbal medicine for health and has developed it into a lifelong career.

I use plant-based products because I grew up with them and understand what they can do for our bodies," Henry said during the interview.

I truly believe that God has placed everything we need on this earth," she continued. "They are the culmination of knowledge from previous generations who embraced plant medicine because of the powerful impact it has on our overall well-being.

This belief guides the life of Judy Henry. Furthermore, this belief has developed into something unique for her. Sacred Body Botanicals is the result of her dedication. Her accomplishment is building a small, natural health and wellness brand, which ultimately grew into a laboratory for innovative products developed over the years.

As a former smoker, Henry saw an opportunity to improve health. Utilizing her expertise in herbal medicine, she created a series of all-natural formulas to mimic the pleasure of addictive nicotine. Henry patented several of these formulas, stating that they have attracted a broad customer base who have seen benefits in a short period of time.

One of the products is a nicotine-free e-liquid, which Henry claims is a nicotine detoxifier that can help people quit smoking.

She developed the NoNic product, which has had a promising start. She also launched a pilot program in the local community to offer workshops introducing customers to her NoNic product.

She said she has had success introducing her NoNic formula to clients struggling with nicotine addiction in a few short meetings. Henry pointed out that due to FDA regulations, the product has not undergone medical review and she cannot promote its health benefits. However, she said some of her clients have provided positive feedback. One story she shared with me was particularly notable. A gentleman started using the NoNic formula and claimed he immediately became addicted to it, never smoking again. She has seen real-life success with NoNic.

However, the harsh reality is that selling plant-based formulations in the United States is illegal without invasive and expensive FDA inspections and approvals or other bans on products not federally approved. Despite creating a product that is almost entirely different from others on the market, the law forbids Henry from selling NoNic through her company, Sacred Body Botanicals.

In 2020, the United States Congress passed the controversial Preventing Online Sales of E-Cigarettes to Children Act, which amended the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT) Act of 2009. The new law allows the Federal Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) agency to actively enforce rules governing the interstate sale of tobacco products. The Preventing Online Sales of E-Cigarettes to Children Act expands upon the existing PACT Act by including a broad definition that encompasses e-cigarette devices and includes a ban on e-cigarette mailings enforced by the United States Postal Service.
