Donald Hall learned his craft from some of the most famous herbalists of this generation including Dr. Christopher, Ed Smith, White Deer, and many others. Don has well over three decades of personal experience as an herbalist and has an advanced knowledge of botany.

Over the years he has and continues to build up his extensive library of traditional herbal medicine books, recent articles, and other references. He has also researched the work of Dr. Edward Bach extensively. He has collected an early and quite rare collection of Dr. Bach's original research.

In 1974 the first American essence that Don gathered was Red Clover, which ultimately led to others and a first of its kind composite flower essence line. Personally, he has collected over one hundred and eighty flowers and helped to pioneer the uses of many American flowers.

Don is currently working on his book, which will be published in the coming years based on his research of integrative herbal medicine.

Debra Hall started the Medicine Wheel Family (now Red Earth Herbal Drops) with Donald Hall in December of 1973.

At that time, as a trained midwife, she encouraged Donald to attempt his first original composite remedy for women and childbirth. She then noted the results and the calming effects during labor. Since then, Smooth Birthing has been successfully used in thousands of natural pregnancies.

Later working as a harvester, manager, and marketer, she helped guide the growing business as product lines expanded. Debra received her doctorate in Transpersonal Physiology.

She is working on a book in addition to editing Donald's manuscript.

Nova Hall is the only son of the two founders and was raised in the herbal and flower essence business. In 2000, Nova incorporated the the family business as Alternative Health Networks and brought a new youthful mindset to the company.

Changing the Medicine Wheel brand, transitioning to new full-color labels, literature, and Point-of-Purchase displays, Alternative Health Networks is focused on achieving its goal to expand its market share while maintaining the quality and reputation it has built since 1974.

Each product is still crafted by hand with the utmost care.

Nova Hall enjoys writing, speaking, marketing, and communicating with customers. He attended Northern Arizona University before stepping into the family business.
