Welcome to The Wild PharmacyWe are dedicated to providing you with a wealth of information to help you improve all aspects of your life using herbs and natural healing techniques.
About Us Consultation
The main purpose of our website is to give you the confidence to choose and make your own herbal formulas. However there are times when some guidance is called for in choosing the right herbs to suit you as an individual, particularly when taking prescribed pharmaceuticals or when nothing seems to improve your condition. In this case, fill in the online consultation form and an experienced and qualified herbalist will advise on which herbs and treatments are most likely to help. You can also book an appointment to see a herbalist at our base in East Sussex.
Ethics
We run our cottage industry business in an Earth conscious and sustainable way using, wherever possible, recycled and recyclable materials, environmentally friendly power sources and organic and wild plants. We are committed to preserving the indigenous plant populations of the world so endeavour to source our products locally from the UK or from reliable fair trade and environmentally aware overseas suppliers. Herbs are victim to ‘fashion’ also, often at a high cost to local environments and livelihoods. We will not sell rare or endangered plants unless we are sure they have been planted and harvested in a sustainable way.
Herb quality
Many of the herbs we use are grown organically and biodynamically on a soil association registered herb farm in the UK. In addition we also gather our own herbal materials in an ethical manner which is called ‘wild crafting’. This means plants are only gathered from sites away from roads and any obvious sources of pollution, only from sites where the herb grows in abundance and with reverence and respect to the plants themselves. Whilst harvesting we collect only a small percentage of plant material from any one area. This ensures that the plant population continues to thrive year after year and provide remedies for us, food and habitat for animals and insects and true visions of beauty for all to enjoy.
Natural Healing'Natural' is a real buzz word at the moment, a word which many manufacturers equate with big profits. The natural product sector is one of the fastest growing markets in the UK and makers of everything from convenience food to clothing to cleaning products are clamouring to get in on the act at the expense of consumers who are eager to make a difference to the health of their families and their environment.
But please don't be fooled into thinking that a reduction in salt or sugar or the addition of an essential oil to a soap or shampoo is going to make the kind of difference that clever marketing campaigns might have us believe. 'Natural', meaning existing in or in accordance with nature, can be a way of living, a state of mind and philosophy, a commitment to preserving and protecting the earths resources and can be applied to any aspect of life.
In this section you can explore the many incredible and often very simple ways in which peoples from every race, religion and culture down through the ages have learned from nature and applied this knowledge to healing the mind, body and spirit. This knowledge and wisdom truly is our natural heritage and belongs completely to each and every one of us.
