Deep Woods Apothecary

Owner is very friendly and very helpful. I really don’t have much experience with herbal medicine but she carries a particular item that has been of tremendous benefit for me and I feel I owe her a great review.

Not helpful at all. First off, it was a hundred degrees in the shop. I was looking for an essential oil that is fairly common and only uses five ingredients. She went to the back for two minutes or less and claimed not to have the oils. She recommended another oil but never went to get it, claiming that it was too expensive – why make the assumption I can’t pay for it? I saw rave reviews for this place but was highly disappointed.

I had my daughter with me. What she wanted didn’t seem to work. I wanted my kid to use my item that I had for my kid to practice. The owner kept undermining me several times getting my daughter to want the item, I and my hubby kept trying to say no. But more and more the owner kept at my daughter. Stupid me I bought the item. Later, my daughter decides she should wait, and felt bad that I bought it. I said it wasn’t just you who was pushing me to buy the item. The owner did, and I was bought into it. Later had the hubby call to see about a refund. The owner said no. Later I called said she took advantage of my child, and myself when we had reserves. That I was no longer a client there.
Also wanted to say one Sat. a few weeks before the incident above. It was around 10:30pm.The owner was clearly drunk. People were outside playing musical instruments, drinking. With their kid’s running around. My concern was the busy street of cars passing by. If the worse could or should have happened, no inebriated parent or adult could prevent any catastrophic failure.

Sylvia does amazing psychic readings at a VERY reasonable cost! Lots of good energy in this place, I definitely recommend checking it out!

I have been here a few times and each time is better than the last. I am actually a bit shy or slow to join in and have been getting over that… but when I am around the right energy, I loosen up quick… As I do here.
Mindy (spelling) is so awesome, she found out I did handmade leather items for those of us on a budget and offered to consign some of my items on an as needed basis?! ON THE FIRST DAY I MET HER, WHO FRIGGEN DOES THAT?! Mindy does, because she is just that sweet! I guess it is true, we find those who need us in one way or another and it is mutually nurturing.
I love this little Store/​Shop/​Class/​Meeting Place for those in search of Natural Remedies, Unique Items and Gifts and those simply peaceful smells of the old way that we all recognize. I especially like the time I spend learning about different things at Deepwoods, Meeting new people (hardly meet a stranger here), love the great energy that washes over me when I am there, almost too much sometimes. I still need to do a reading; one day maybe, LOL.
Seriously though, great little shop, good energy and pleasant company… Oh and don’t mind the dog, she barks a lot, but that’s about it, LOL.

First impressions in the door is that the business is run by a very friendly, kooky hoarder and her dog. The dog is awesome, by the way.
My girlfriend is really into most things in the store and there’s always something she’s gotta have. I guess this is points in their favor. I can’t really say because I’m not in the target audience for that business. If you’re looking for beads, tarot cards, spells, magical statues, and a way to grow plants in the back of your closet, then this is probably an alright place for you to visit. There’s also a pretty nice selection of herbs and spices that you can buy per ounce.
My main reason was the extensive homebrew supply and knowledge advertised for their new location. I was thoroughly disappointed. There’s a number of grain buckets, but probably not the 50+ advertised. It also looks suspect, not to mention that most of it is unreachable because it’s buried underneath mounds of other random stuff. DME looks self-​packaged, but there are several varieties. There’s a few pieces of equipment and books at reasonable prices. The website claims expert knowledge of homebrewing and that they’ll teach you everything you need to know. I’ve been in about half a dozen times and the only person there is the woman who owns the place (and a «roaming bard» playing guitar one time). She doesn’t know much about brewing and claims her son is an expert. «He’s not in today.» I’ve never seen him there, so I always wonder. They also offer to crack grain for you, but this is awkward. Their grinder is a small hand grinder and you’re left to awkwardly watch the older woman struggle with it for what could be 10 – 15 minutes for an all-​grain batch.
Hops and yeast. Bad news. Small selection, first off. No pellet hops. Small selection of whole hops. I can’t speak to much of the yeast brands or types. The reason why I can’t is because they’re all stuck together and disgusting. Yeast and hops are kept in the back fridge with personal food and other oddities. More than once I found a pot of half-​eaten food sitting on top of the plastic grocery bag holding the yeast. Hops are often covered in soy sauce. Everything is sticky. The fridge doesn’t feel very cold. It’s a sanitation nightmare with the most delicate ingredient in your brew. And it’s just gross. Really gross.
As a «mystic» shop, maybe. As a homebrew shop, absolutely not.

Awesome! One of my favorite «mystic shops» (& actually the first I ever visited in the dfw area). Cheap incense, candles and oils. A very good selection of crystals & gems. They have some of everything: jewelry, books, natural hygiene products & more. This place is awesome. I will add that the location is a little bit unexpected, though & may be a little hard to find the first time (its right next to the Liberty Tax on S. Cooper, off
to the left, past Parks mall if coming from I-​20)
they also have a facebook!

Deep Woods is a very cool and original Apothecary store in Arlington with everything for home brew, hydroponics, and herbal medicine. I credit this store and the very knowledgeable staff for helping us get pregnant. You MUST stop in the store if you’re in the area.
