Tryla Brown Larson, who owns a line of locally made products with her sister, Crystal Brown, celebrated a new step forward for the business last week.

She joined Design 2000 Salon co-owner Irina LaRose, Longboat Key Chamber of Commerce representatives and residents on Jan. 29 to officially launch her line at the salon.

Larson was inspired to start her line, Herb Methodology, based on what she learned of plant-based treatments from her grandmother, Thelma Brown.

Herb Methodology co-owner Tryla Brown Larson's line of products includes salves designed to help alleviate anxiety.

Her products, the ingredients for which she often grows, include everything from relaxing bath bombs to bug repellent to face serums.

In addition to several brick-and-mortar stores, the line is available online. For more, visit HerbMethodology.com.
