My Journey to Alywillow: A Life Rooted in Nature
Three profound realizations came to me in the early 1990s, shaping the course of my life:
1️⃣ We are surrounded by too many synthetic chemicals— even in most so-called “natural” products—some of which are extremely harmful.
2️⃣ Our skin absorbs everything we put on it— from vitamins and minerals to the synthetic chemicals hiding in skincare, laundry detergents, and household products.
3️⃣ Our ancestors lived without synthetic chemicals— if they could do it, so can we!
Hi, I’m Aliya Trinity—CEO & Founder of Alywillow.
These realizations sparked my journey toward a life rooted in nature. And it’s that life path that led me to create Alywillow—a brand dedicated to pure-plant products that honor our roots and nurture our well-being.
I was a young mother when I first began studying the chemical structure of plants, searching for natural alternatives to keep my family free from synthetic chemicals. I never imagined this journey would lead to the creation of Alywillow—but an accident in 2007 changed everything.
That year, a devastating injury left me with sever spinal damage, causing such severe swelling that I lost the ability to walk. My muscles collapsed, I was in tremendous pain, and in and out of physical therapy. I was able to walk a little, but had to use a wheel chair in order to get around. Doctors offered lifelong pharmaceutical pain management. I knew the risks—heavy medications come with serious long-term side effects.
So, I started searching for a natural solution.
This journey took me across the country and deep into the wisdom of plants. In time, I developed my own effective pain relief formula—without drugs, steroids, or synthetics. That formula became what is now known as MINTY RELIEF.
By simply rubbing a few layers of Minty Relief onto the swollen areas, I could reduce inflammation and pain enough to walk again and function almost like everyone else. Unlike pharmaceuticals, it didn’t cloud my mind or make me feel “drugged.”
It worked so well that I started sharing it with others—and that’s how Alywillow was born.
Alywillow: Restoring the Body, Naturally
From that single formula, Alywillow has grown into a company that now offers over 150 products—all free from drugs, steroids, and synthetic ingredients. But I didn’t stop there.
Since our skin absorbs the ingredients we put on it, I wanted to ensure our products weren’t just safe—they had to provide real health benefits. Instead of harmful side effects, Alywillow products nourish the body, strengthen the skin, and support overall wellness.
We use over 200 plants and minerals—and that’s it. No synthetics. No shortcuts. Just pure plant power.
At every obstacle, I reminded myself:
"If our ancestors could live without synthetic chemicals, then so can we!"
It took decades of determination and innovation to create what so many said was impossible. But now, our customers' real-life results speak for themselves—just read the reviews!
A Lifelong Connection to Plants
Thirty years ago, I had no idea I would one day create Alywillow. My journey with plants began when I accidentally put myself to sleep just by rubbing a few on my skin. That’s when I truly realized the power of plants.
Plants each have their own language, their own spirit, and in Native American traditions, we refer to plants and rocks as our cousins. When you listen long enough, they speak—guiding you to their true purpose.
For instance:
🌿 Did you know that aloe prefers to touch other aloe plants? If left isolated, it often grows sad and unhealthy. But when allowed to connect, it flourishes and starts producing babies!
🌱 Did you know that tea tree oil can be toxic to the body? That’s why we don’t use it in any Alywillow products.
Who Am I?
I am an earth-loving, tree-hugging, barefoot-walking mother, grandmother, public speaker, herbalist, botanist, chemist, meditation guide, natural-born shaman, and free spirit enjoying this human experience on Earth.
As an insatiable autodidact, I’m constantly absorbing and learning. One day, you might find me cleaning the barn, another meditating on a mountaintop, or perhaps writing simple computer code or surrounded by beakers in the lab. It just depends on the moment.
The integrity of Alywillow is as important to me as my pledge of authenticity. That’s why:
✔ I still run the lab and personally formulate every Alywillow product.
✔ I oversee production, wholesale programs, and manage our team.
✔ I’m not in this business for the wealth—I do it because I love it.
I don’t want Alywillow in big-box stores because corporate greed weakens local economies. My goal isn’t to be the wealthiest or the biggest—it’s to restore health, strengthen people, and support communities.
By helping people feel better naturally, we are making life on Earth a little easier, one person at a time.

💚 Much love,
