About Us
Our purpose here at Lion Herba is to offer access to herbal medicine and herbs and to empower you to reconnect with your natural medicine heritage and work towards improving your health and wellbeing.
We provide natural herbal products made using plants and their extracts. By using natural products made from the whole plants rather than isolated plant constituents or synthetic derivatives, it is possible to gain from the whole range of benefits a plant has to offer. Interacting with the plants this way also allows for a better connection to the plants and nature as a whole.
The plant ingredients we use have been carefully sourced, are of a high quality from sustainable sources and are organic, fair wilded and fairly traded as far as possible.
All of our products have been carefully selected by our expert medical herbalist.
As part of our ongoing commitment to minimising our impact on the environment, we are working to eliminate the use of plastic in our packaging. We use compostable and/or recyclable bags and pouches for our herbs and teas. Recyclable glass and metal are used for other products. Our product labels and packaging materials are made from recycled material. Where there is no suitable alternative to plastic for jar and bottle lids and medicine bottles that need to be sent in the post, we use plastics that are widely recyclable.
