Nature's Light:
A Tale of Healing and Harmony

Laurie Perfect.jpeg

Hi! My name is Laurie Nitchman, the founder of Natures Light. My journey into the world of holistic and natural living began nearly half a century ago, inspired by something as simple as a crab apple tree in my backyard. Crafting Crab Apple jelly with the help of a friend’s grandmother ignited a spark that set me on this lifelong path. I remember gazing at the mason jars, watching the clear jelly set, completely mesmerized by the beauty of it. From that moment, I was hooked.

​

From that point forward, I immersed myself in learning. Every book, every article, and every conversation with local herbalists and like-minded individuals deepened my understanding. (This was long before the internet, so I sought wisdom wherever I could!) Herbs became my passion, and I threw myself into rediscovering the lost arts of canning, preserving, and traditional medicine, sharing my knowledge with anyone willing to listen.

​

After 20 years of learning, experimenting, and honing my skills, I developed a Natural Progesterone Cream for myself after being diagnosed with estrogen dominance. I was determined to find a natural solution, and after months of testing, I succeeded. Hormonal imbalances—hot flashes, mood swings, and the 120-plus symptoms tied to PMS, Peri-Menopause, and Menopause—affect countless women worldwide. Today, that same formula continues to provide relief for women across the globe.

​

In 2004, my son was in a devastating accident when a train collided with his vehicle. He survived, but it left him with a fractured back and years of surgeries—three back fusions, shoulder surgery, and even a pain unit implanted in his back. The onslaught of opioid prescriptions brought severe side effects. He suffered unbearable nausea and vomiting, sometimes up to 20 times a day. Despite my pleas, doctors kept increasing his medication, and the back spasms would get so severe that they’d make him stop breathing for moments at a time. It broke my heart. I would have done anything to trade places with him, but I couldn’t. What I could do, though, was use my knowledge.

​

Determined to help, I turned to my knowledge of herbs, just as I had when I created my Progesterone Cream. I embarked on a mission to create a Natural Pain Relief Topical Cream. I researched over 150 anti-inflammatory herbs, finally narrowing it down to 33 of the most effective for treating inflammation, nerve pain, arthritis, and more. And that’s how PRO 33 was born—a natural pain relief topical cream that transformed not just my son’s life but so many others. Later, when the 2018 Farm Bill allowed the use of full-spectrum CBD, I incorporated it into the formulation along with Lidocaine, amplifying its natural benefits.

​

I knew there were countless people out there like my son, desperate for affordable, natural pain relief. However, when I explored the natural pain market, I was shocked. Not only was there nothing like our product, but what did exist was priced so high that many couldn’t afford it—especially those containing CBD and Hemp. My mission became clear: make our products accessible and affordable. Pain relief should not be a luxury; it should be available to everyone, in grocery stores, hardware stores, truck stops, and beyond.

​

I approached my son, the very person I had originally created the pain cream for, and asked him to join me on this mission. Together, we began building our company, Nature’s Light, from the ground up.

​

Our products speak for themselves and our customers are our best advocates! Nature’s Light is more than a business; it’s a passion born out of love, determination, and the belief that natural, effective, and affordable remedies should be within reach for all!
