A master herbalist, always at your side

The wisdom of a lifetime
in the garden, on call.

Herbert consults like a trusted elder: differential herb selection, dosing, safety and formulation, grounded in a living materia medica of more than 1,100 distinct herbs across the Western, Chinese and Ayurvedic traditions. Built by a practicing naturopathic doctor, for practitioners.

An email address opens the library. Your first ten questions to Herbert are free. No card.

One consult, start to finish

From a sentence to a bottle in a client's hand.

Scroll through a single afternoon consultation. Every step below is the live product, not a mock-up of a promise.

01

You ask the way you would ask an elder.

A tense, wakeful client on sertraline. You type it the way you would say it. Herbert listens, and he already knows who the client is.

02

He answers in prose, and checks the chart.

Word by word, weighing energetics and pairings. The client's medications are screened underneath: St John's wort is set aside before it is ever suggested.

03

Open the plate.

Every herb he names is a museum plate away: the verified photograph, actions, energetics, dosing with the metric arithmetic done, the safety record in plain sight, and the modern evidence beside it.

04

The formula fills itself.

One click and the herbs you discussed are in the builder, ratios honoured, millilitres computed by a deterministic engine, the interaction screen and the constitution wheel drawn live.

05

Print the label.

Bottle labels on Avery sheets with your practice mark, the dose as you wrote it, and the date. Adjusted for age or weight if you asked.

06

It reaches the client's phone.

A private handout link with a QR on the script: what is in the bottle, how to take it, what to watch for, in your practice's name. Revocable any time.

Three faces, one craft

Consult. Browse. Formulate.

Everything a clinical herbalist reaches for in a working day, under one roof and speaking one language.

Consult with Herbert

Ask the way you would ask a trusted elder. Herbert answers in flowing clinical prose, word by word as he thinks, weighing energetics, pairings, dosing and cautions the way a lifetime of practice teaches.

"Think of it as rain finally reaching dry ground rather than a dam thrown across the river."

Browse the materia medica

Eleven hundred distinct herbs, each one monograph drawn from every source we hold, presented as a museum plate: a verified photograph with a living depth to it, actions, energetics, indications, dosing with deterministic metric conversion, and the safety record in plain sight.

Filter by action, indication, energetics, taste, plant part, tradition and safety. One herb, one card, always.

Formulate with confidence

Build tinctures, teas, powders and oil blends in a live builder. A deterministic engine does the arithmetic: parts, percentages, milliliters. The safety solver checks every ingredient for pregnancy flags, dose ceilings and incompatibilities as you work, and your finished script prints beautifully.

Or let Herbert compose a starting formula from the very herbs you just discussed, filled in for you to edit.
