Herbal remedies from the Karoo
We belong
as nature
Small-batch teas, balms and plant rituals, made by Helena with herbs wild-harvested in the Karoo.
Our belief
Herbal medicine is not alternative medicine, it is the original medicine.
We come from mother earth and to her we shall return. If we take care of her, she kindly takes care of us.

I’m Helena
I listen to the plants, and speak for the trees, the flowers and life on earth as much as I can. My background is in storytelling, in journalism and documentary research, and I grew up on an isolated farm in the Karoo, where one used what one had at hand.
Everything here is made in small batches, from plants I know, with love and intention.
