This is part of our series of blog posts featuring International Herb Symposium Sponsors.

UpS:  Thank you so much to Penelope Beaudrow at Everything Herbal for taking a few minutes to talk with us about this organization! Penelope, can you start by telling us a little about what Everything Herbal is?

EH: Everything Herbal is a community based platform, founded in 2020, that is dedicated to providing resources to support the herbal medicine community at large. Behind Everything Herbal stands a team of dedicated professionals with combined lifetimes of experience in the diverse and inclusive fields of botanical medicine, herbal education, herb farming, wild-crafting, and medicine making. Our mission is to help ensure that the herbal medicine in community, both in Canada and abroad, continues to grow and prosper in sustainable, inclusive, innovative and dynamic directions.

UpS: Who is this platform for?

EH: Everything Herbal serves as a portal for anyone and everyone who already has a foot (or two) in the world of plant based healing traditions, as well as for those who are curious about herbal medicine but who don’t know where to start.

UpS: What will folks find there?

EH: Our website features a blog containing entries by leading herbalists from around the world, with the aim of ensuring that accurate and reliable information pertaining to botanical medicine is available to all. We offer online, individual herbal consultations with registered clinical herbalists, who are available to help you to achieve your health goals and to discover what optimal health can look like for you. In addition, we also host many educational opportunities, both online and in person, for students in various stages of their studies.

UpS: What else do you offer?

EH: Everything Herbal is involved in the production of premium quality herbal products for medical professionals as well as the general public, with a strong focus on organically grown, ethically sourced and sustainably harvested herbs. We believe that it is more important than ever to ensure that commercially available herbs are produced according to high ethical standards, both for the wellbeing of the people who take the medicine but also for the land upon which we all rely.
