ABOUT OUR SERVICES

Herbalism is the oldest form of medicine used by mankind. It is an ongoing relationship with our Earthly flora & fungi that, as a practice, has been growing & moving with us for tens of thousands of years. Today, this ancient wisdom is kept alive in our in relationships with plants; our gardens, our foraging, and our herbal medicine practice.

The plant path; where the wyldeorness meets our wyld hearts.

At EntheoBotanica we recognise not only the pharmacological basis for use of a herb, but also the traditional, cultural, magickal and spiritual basis for use; that science may not yet have mapped out. A people with a detailed & developed history of use of a plant or fungi for multiple generations, is considered strong evidence for a beneficial alliance. That is if there are no dangers when utilised correctly with proper guidance.

We can learn from our ancestors.

We support a holistic approach to healing rather than reductionist, which means the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Zoom out, and see the micro in the macro.
Zoom in, and see the patterns of nature in ourselves.

 

Guided by the principles of natural medicine, we approach life, healing and our medicine as perfect and full in itself, being supportive rather than inhibitive to the body's natural healing process.

We treat you and your medicine as an intelligent & integrated whole.

: OUR ETHOS

|ɛnθiːəʊbətɑnɪkə|

ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS

We stock only the highest quality plants and natural preparations available. After all, a medicine can only be as powerful as the starting material.  A plant or fungi is best utilised as fresh, alive and as untouched by the hand of man or machine as possible. This helps to capture and preserve the life force from the living organism; the spirit of the plant. It is through this life force that the healing wisdom is transmitted.

 

We focus on community-minded projects, to cultivate sustainable relating.

Many of our products are grown in our own nurseries & gardens, cultivated under permaculture principles and supported by synergist plant, fungi & bacterial allies. The neural-network of the interconnected kingdom of nature is tapped into a self regulatory system of sustenance. We draw from this power source in our approach to living & healing.

Synergy in the wholesome. Perfection in nature.

 

We therefore use whole & fresh plant extractions where-ever humanly possible as there are often many beneficial components to a plant that are compromised when standardised & isolated. The spirit of the plant is more accessible in a digestible, yet raw form. This is the ethos of our products. A balance between removing any interference between plant & person, and delivering a potent supportive medicine.

Healing is our journey, and nature is our guide.

Ethos

 akin to nature 

 FIRST DO NO HARM 
 Primum Non Nocere 
 All therapeutic actions 

 should be complementary 

 to & synergistic with the 

 body’s own healing process. 

  Utilise the most natural, 

 least invasive, & least 

 toxic therapies. 

 THE HEALING POWER OF 

 NATURE 
 Vis Mediatrix Naturae 
 Trust in the inherent wisdom 

 & power of the body to heal 

 itself. The healing process is 

 ordered & intelligent; nature 

 heals through the response of 

 the life force. 

 IDENTIFY & 

 TREAT THE CAUSE 
 Tolle Causam 

 Symptoms express the bodies 

 attempt to heal, & should not 

 merely be suppressed. Look 

 beyond the symptoms to the 

 underlying root cause. 

 The Principles of 

 Natural Medicine 

 HEAL THE WHOLE PERSON 
 Tolle Totum 
 View the body as an 

 integrated whole with 

 physical, mental, emotional 

 & spiritual aspects. The 

 harmonious functioning of 

 these aspects is essential 

 for healing. 

 THE DOCTOR AS TEACHER 

 Docere 

 The practitioner's role is to 

 educate the patient to take 

 responsibility over their own 

 health. The doctor-patient 

 relationship acts to enable 

 the patient to heal 

 themselves. 

 PREVENTION 
 Prevention is the best cure 
 The ultimate goal of health 

 care is to prevent sickness. 

 Building health works better 

 than curing dis-ease. Focus 
 on overall health, wellness 

 & vitality as dis-ease 

 prevention. 

 THE GREATEST YIELD FOR THE LEAST CHANGE 

 The low maintenance approach, where small changes are met 

 with  less resistance than large overhauls. 

 WORK WITH NATURE

 NOT AGAINST IT 
 Observe the natural forces, pressures and elements to 

 assist rather than impede natural developments. 

 The Principles of

 Permaculture

 THE PROBLEM 

  IS THE SOLUTION 
 Perspective. Everything has a

 positive use, it is only how 

 we see things that makes 

 them advantageous or not. 

 THE YIELD IS THEORETICALLY UNLIMITED 

 The only limit is of the information and 

 the imagination of the designer. 

 EVERYTHING GARDENS 
 Everything has an effect on 

 and modifies its environment.
