Namely...

The importance of buying local! Medicinal plants grown in Quebec are more expensive, but the quality is exceptional. Our herbalists dry them whole (with some exceptions), according to the rules of the art. The plants are grown here and do not have to travel (polluting transport) from far away to your home. Plus, they are always freshly dried. Paying a little more to encourage our local producers is worth the investment!

Consultations

When taking plants internally for specific health concerns, we strongly advise you to consult an herbalist therapist to obtain a health check, personalized, safe and effective treatment, and follow-up.

You can contact Marie-Christine Vallières, Herbalist, at ecolelesamesfleurs@gmail.com to make an appointment for a private videoconference consultation ($80).
