Story

Hi there, welcome to Simply Herbal.

As a lifetime greenie and practicing herbalist, a large part of my life has centred around educating both myself, and others, about natural medicine, recycling, and conservation, walking lightly on this earth, and above all, awe and appreciation of the unique and magnificent natural environment we have in Aotearoa.

Most of the time, we live on an acre right in the middle of an Auckland suburb, and sometimes on a property in Northland, with 12 acres of wonderful native bush. When at home in Auckland, I garden, make compost, keep chickens and a worm-farm, recycle EVERYTHING, and make my own cleaning products, jams, chutneys etc, cider, ginger beer, natural medicines, and cook whole food for my family (most of the time!). Oh, and I also work part-time, see clients and run a small business!

My kids are teenagers and young adults, and I have a glorious grand-baby that I love spending time with, and another one cooking.

Simply Herbal encompasses back-to-basics healthcare, herbal medicine, wholefood nutrition, and an eco-sensitive, balanced lifestyle. Basically, living, thinking, and loving like our grandmothers did.

Simply Herbal is about getting back to basics in all areas of our lives, including traditional herbal medicine, gardening, recycling, preparing whole food for our families, environmental awareness, and walking lightly on this earth.

Simply Herbal is about work/life/eco/balance. Trying to balance old wisdom with new technology; old-fashioned family values within modern society; appreciation and nurturing of gardens and the earth against escalating environmental damage; peace and calm amid life’s hurley burley; and traditional herbal medicine alongside today’s allopathic regime.

Simply Herbal has a range of wonderful, aromatic herbal teas available. These teas are organically grown locally, or sourced organically if possible, and blended to provide great tasting, therapeutically effective remedies to support the natural healing process of the body. Herbal teas have formed the basis of healing traditions throughout the ages, and showcase Traditional Herbal Medicine at its core. These teas are affordable, easy to drink, and smell wonderful.

Simply Herbal intends to stock a range of products to enhance your natural lifestyle such as herbs, nursery plants, bird houses and feeders, compost/potting mix, kitset gardens, green cleaning products, worm farms and worms to populate these, wholefood recipes, jams, chutneys, curry pastes, plus supplements and informative articles. Please keep checking back over the next few weeks as we build up our product range.

Please join me on this journey.

With blessings and balance.

Janette.
