About Wagala Compound
About Lucy
Welcome! My name is
Lucy Wagala and I am the founder and owner of Wagala Compound. Wagala Compound was created from my passion to help others find healing through natural medicine. I believes that disease or illness is due to an energetic imbalance, and that a holistic approach to health can assist in restoring the body's self healing properties so that balance can also be restored. There are many tools that can be used when implementing a holistic approach--one of them being natural medicine. It was during my time in pharmacy school that I realized my calling to pursue natural medicine. During my school practicals I encountered patients that were not achieving relief from the various pharmaceuticals that had been prescribed and I began to wonder what other options they might have. Around this time, Cannabis, was becoming a popular topic of discussion in the healthcare world as an option for various conditions. I began reading about Cannabis and it lead me to wonder what other herbs could be beneficial to managing one's health. As I dug deeper into the history and world of natural medicine, I learned that the early pharmacists were the neighborhood herbalists. It assured me that I was already on the right path. I decided that in some way I wanted to incorporate natural medicine into my practice as a future pharmacist and after pharmacy school I would find a way to study all I could about natural medicine.
After graduating pharmacy school and receiving my Doctor of Pharmacy Degree in 2017 from Ohio Northern University Raabe College of Pharmacy, I began studying Traditional East Asian Medicine--completing courses in herbology and Chinese nedicine theory and diagnosis at Pacific College of Health and Sciences. Additionally, I am currently in the process of becoming a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner by the Functional Medicine University, Certified Energy Therapy Practitioner by the Holistic Arts Institute, and Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner through the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP).
Through hand-crafted and carefully selected products as well as my experience and knowledge, I aim to provide you with resources and support you may need to empower yourself during your wellness journey.
