Welcome to My Herbal Haven

Herbs have been a part of my life since I was born. As a Somali woman, tea isn’t just a drink—it’s woven into our culture, our healing, and our daily lives. In Somali households, tea is served for every occasion, whether it’s to welcome guests, start the day, or wind down at night. We don’t just drink tea for pleasure; we drink it for healing. My ancestors relied on the power of herbs to support their health, passing down the knowledge of natural remedies from generation to generation.

 

Black seed, known as the “cure for everything but death,” has been a staple in Somali medicine for centuries, used for immunity and overall wellness. Ginger and cinnamon are brewed into warm, spiced teas to aid digestion and soothe the body. Hibiscus is known for its cooling and blood-cleansing properties, while qasil has been used for centuries as a natural skin cleanser. Frankincense is burned to purify the air and calm the mind, and cloves, cardamom, and turmeric are essential in both food and healing drinks. Growing up, I was surrounded by these traditions, but it wasn’t until later in life that I truly leaned into herbal healing for myself.

​

In 2021, I found myself struggling with anxiety, ADHD, brain fog, mood swings, sleep issues, and hormone imbalances. Without access to affordable healthcare, I turned to herbs as my medicine. I began learning, experimenting, and building my own collection of herbs, starting with just three—lavender, chamomile, and ginger. As I saw the benefits firsthand, my passion for herbal remedies deepened, and I started crafting my own tea blends, each one made with a specific intention in mind.

​

I began sharing my teas with family and friends, and to my surprise, they kept coming back for more. They weren’t just enjoying the flavors—they were feeling the effects, the same relief and balance I had discovered. That’s when I realized I wanted to do more than just make tea for myself—I wanted to help others find comfort and healing through herbs, just like I did.

Now, I’m excited to share my blends with you. Each tea I create is rooted in tradition, inspired by my ancestors, and crafted with care. Whether you’re looking for something to ease stress, improve focus, balance your hormones, or simply bring a sense of calm to your day, my teas are made with the intention to heal. I hope that when you take a sip, you feel the warmth, the connection, and the generations of wisdom that have been passed down through herbal remedies.

Welcome to my world of herbal wellness. I can’t wait for you to experience these blends and the benefits they bring. 🌿✨
