All of which enriches our approach to understanding wellbeing, people and nature. The ancient history of herbal medicine and healing philosophy inform the basis of what we know about health and wellbeing, and the effects of plants on the human body and mind. We are interested in finding a holistic approach to health and wellbeing for both our people and our land.
