What Is a Clinical Herbalist
and What Are the Benefits
of Restorative Herbalism?

Herbal remedies have been used for centuries all across the world to boost overall health as well as target specific conditions. Restorative Herbalism is simply the usage of natural remedies; herbs and spice medicine that can be found in nature used to support and nourish a number of imbalances, ailments, and conditions as opposed to harmful and unnecessary pharmaceuticals.

A trained Clinical Herbalist chooses herbs based on symptoms or ailments a client describes during the consultation phase. 

Our custom herbal formulations help support the immune system and can help those with autoimmune disorders, help those with anxiety to enhance alertness or mood and reduce daily stress levels, and are beneficial in helping to balance hormone levels enhancing hormone health.

  • My experience with Karen was absolutely amazing! I had a 90 minute herbal facial. Karen's handmade herbal face cleanser and moisturizer is superb. I use them everyday and my skin looks so much better. I would highly recommend this establishment and Karen's products to anyone.
