About Us
Healthy Endeavors was established to provide natural health products and services to Idaho. I created Healthy Endeavors as a venue for sharing my passion with others. It is my goal to help educate and empower the public about natural, self sufficient health methods. As a Traditional Naturopath, I believe that a person can heal naturally, when given the proper support. I earned a Bachelors of Natural Health Science degree and sought out additional education and training herbalism, homeopathy, aromatherapy, detoxification, mind/body immunity. I am continually integrating up-to-date health information as well as traditional wisdom and teachings. I began creating specialty blended herbal formulas as an answer to a need I saw cropping up within my own community and practice. Clients and friends were struggling to obtain quality herbals to assist in the the healing process. They were overwhelmed with the masses of products available. Often these herbal items would fail to preform as needed due to inferior quality, prolonged storage, or improper processing. So I started making my own custom blends to aid with some of the most common ailments (respiratory illness, digestive complaints, morning sickness, sluggish immune system, stress, and insomnia). The results were resoundingly positive. By using the freshest, highest quality herbs in simple organic teas and tinctures, people were finding relief. I personally hand blend each item in small batches to assure the correct mixture every time. (Some research has shown mixing large quantities, as in commercial assembly and production, makes for improper ratios of ingredients. Ex: first of the batch is 20% yarrow and 80% dandelion, last of the batch is 40% yarrow and 60% dandelion.) You might be surprised to find that these teas are not strictly for their medicinal properties. They are all quite pleasant tasting as well. Some are offered just for your sipping pleasure and have the added benefits of being organic and antioxidant rich. (Spiced Mint, Deb's Black & Green, Mate Mix). You can be sure you are receiving the freshest, highest quality herbal products when purchasing from Healthy Endeavors. If you have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at healthyendeavors4@yahoo.com or visit www.mynaturalherbalist.com.
