WILD AT HEART IN WANAKA:

After 4 years of study with the world renowned Isla Burgees. I am now a fully qualified Herbalist. It ties in so well with all my other qualifications and studies. I will always be truly grateful to have had the wise wisdom of such a wonderful teacher. I am very excitied to be offering these herbal products in the range I have called Wild at Heart in Wanaka. I have kept them simple, with no fancy packaging etc. To keep costs low. The beautiful thing is they are from this area, collected correctly, mostly in the wild or from my own herbal garden, and you know where they have come, as I have collected them myself. I am not sure if many people can appreciate this, but it’s very important.

The thing I love most about Herbal Medicine is that it’s the peoples medicine and you can also easily collect or grow it yourself. I am sure most of our Grandmothers or Great Grandmothers had this knowledge and it was passed down. But with the new modern world of the quick fix, this knowledge is quickly being lost. That’s why I am excitied to have this range of products for my clients, but at the same time, happy to share it to those that are interested to collect themselves. The beauty of herbs are that they not only do one thing, but often many. So you only need the knowledge of those that grow well in your area and you’re ready to go.

Herbal Teas:

I am selling teas I have collect myself in the wild, and therefore specialised in those herbs that grow in the Otago region. I collect them far from chemicals, car fumes and far into the wild nature in the Otago region. They are collected and dried properly. This all takes a lot of time. My speciality are the following herbs: St Johns wort, Rosehip, elderberries, hawthorne berries, thyme, red clover, mullein, and elderflowers. I also have an antioxidant mix for everyday use. They can be brought individually as teas for $10 or each of 3 for $25. My favourite is the immune booster, rosehip, elderberries and hawthorne berries. My most popular is St Johns wart. For it’s calming and uplifting effect on the nervous system. I am also loving the Ginkgo tea and tinctures. I have found it very useful for menopause and memory.

I also selling an immune booster vinegar. Which has rosehips, hawthorne berries and elderberries. Great for your morning apple cider drink or use in your salad dressing. Used daily wonderful for your health. I have also created an antioxidant mix. Nature is a true healer and protector of the human body and with coivd19, it makes you realise just how important that is, to take better care of ourselves and help heal and protect the body . The wonderful thing is herbs have many properties, so when used on a regular basis have huge effects on your general health and well being.
I have also created a coffee sugar body scrub. It smells amazing and leaves your skin soft and moisturised. Available as a treatment and due to popularity, to buy to use in your own shower.
