Our Products
At The Healing Earth LLC we strive to develop and produce the finest quality herbal products for your benefit. We begin with selecting the best herbs available, then skillfully adjust the formulation for maximum synergy and benefits, all while aiming for customer compliance.
Even the best formula in world does no good if it stays in the bottle!
Whenever possible, certified organic, lab-tested herbs are used to optimize quality assurance. Our preferred suppliers provide herbs grown in geographically appropriate regions/climates, harvested at the best time for maximal health benefit. Herbs are carefully identified, cleaned, dried with care, and packaged with optimal freshness. Some wild-crafted herbs are not available as organic, in which case we look for environmentally responsible harvesting from pristine areas, from suppliers we can trust. Lot trace-ability is maintained on every herb and ingredient.
Our products are manufactured with great care, integrity, and positive intention. Good Manufacturing Practices and procedures are used to ensure consistent quality products you can trust.
Simply stated, our goal is to provide the finest quality products for you and your family!

Meet the Herbalist
Throughout my lifetime I’ve been fascinated by the wonder of our world, with an unquenchable thirst to understanding how things work. The human body and mind are an amazingly complex and beautiful creation. Plants within our world are also amazingly complex, beautiful, and diverse. While seemingly separate from us, at the same time our plant friends contain the very medicine we need to maintain our heath and repair our bodies. Plants can help keep our minds in the right place. The mind/body connection is very powerful and one of the keys to our overall health. I have dedicated myself to exploring these plant/human relationships for the benefit of my fellow man and woman. There is a great satisfaction helping people attain better health, quality of life, and resulting happiness. When the body is brought into balance and works in harmony with our minds, health, vitality and happiness blossom.
In the quest for understanding and to enable the best health and quality of life for my customers, I consider every resource and meld them together into an approach that includes Western Herbalism, evidence based modern science, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ayurveda. From my perspective, combining the wisdom and knowledge of herbal medicine, hundreds and even thousands of years in the making, with the insights of modern medical science provides the best overall approach to improving our health.
My approach considers herbal medicine as Complementary Alternative Medicine. Herbal medicine is complementary to modern Allopathic medicine. It shines in balancing our bodies and improving overall health. In many cases the need for prescription medications can be reduced or even eliminated. Sometimes modern Allopathic medicine reaches a limit in resolving or managing a health issue, where herbal medicine can extend a therapeutic benefit that could not otherwise be achieved.
In some cases, herbal medicine can truly be an alternative or replacement. The end objective is met, often with less side effects at lower cost. The root cause of illness which is often an imbalance within our bodies can be addressed with herbal therapy. We help our body heal itself. While symptom relief is very important, the best medicine is achieved in combination with correction of the root cause, providing long term relief and genuine health.
Modern Allopathic medicine has an important role in our health and lives. Any serious, urgent, or acute medical condition should first be addressed and diagnosed by a medical doctor. As a reminder, herbalists by law do not diagnose, treat or cure disease and do not prescribe medicines; that is the providence of medical doctors. There are times when there really is no substitute for the benefits or modern medicine. If I am in a serious car accident, take me to the hospital, thank-you. After I’m back home, take me to an herbalist! Working with the benefits of modern medicine can provide the best of both worlds – Complementary Alternative Medicine works!
My herbal training is a combination of lifelong self-study and experiences, combined with formal and continuing education. Beyond my BS degree, my first formal herbalist program and apprenticeship was with nationally recognized herbalist, Joanna Helms in Melbourne Florida. Joanna provided an outstanding example of what a skilled and caring herbalist should be. My second formal schooling was with David Winston’s Center For Herbal Studies (DW-CHS). David is truly a world-class herbalist, with many decades of experience as an herbalist, instructor, and lecturer. David Winston is one of the founding members of the American Herbalist Guild, organized in 1989. I passionately practice continuing education; being an herbalist means lifelong learning from other herbalists, doctors, and from the people I help. The plants themselves are great teachers!
I serve as President and co-founder of the American Herbalist Guild, NC Mountain Chapter (NCMC). The NCMC supports herbalists in 23 counties in the mountain region of Western NC, from Murphy, to Asheville, to Boone.
In addition to developing and producing The Healing Earth line of standard herbal products. I serve as a clinical herbalist, providing detailed individual heath assessments, develop personal herbal protocols, and provide custom formulations for my clients benefit. See Clinical Consultations tab for details.
Live well ...... and enjoy the journey!
