My name is Sami. I became interested in herbal medicine by chance in 2007 when my daughter was born. She was sick, underweight, covered in eczema, and never slept due to the copious amounts of mucus she had. We saw many specialists, but their prognosis was that she would be on steroids for a long time, have learning and growing difficulties, and have serious asthma attacks. I read by chance in a local newspaper an article written by a master herbalist and what she wrote made me wonder if this could be the answer I was looking for.

15 years have passed, and I have graduated as a Medical Herbalist, a master Iridologist, a nutritionist, and a raw food coach, and I am in love with fermented foods to heal the gut. I became interested in tasty teas when my clients didn't like herbal teas, and to be honest, normal herbal teas are boring and not really tasty. So for the last 5 years, I develop medical herbal teas that taste nice, that you actually enjoy drinking and can drink daily as part of your liquid intake. The teas are so popular that in July we will open our first TEA HOUSE, with all blends done here in Kilkenny and mixed by myself. We have also applied to the FOOD AWARDS so hopefully, some of my blends are chosen.
