WHAT INSPIRED HERBAN PROVISONS
I had dabbled with clean/organic eating, essential oils and herbs for years; but after finding out that my father had cancer on Father's Day, 2015, our family kicked our healing practices into high gear! At the time his cancer was detected, it was already in stage four. It originated in his liver, but spread to esophagus, stomach, and colon. My dad knew he did not want to spend his last days taking chemo and radiation treatments, so we traveled and looked for a cure. We met with alternative medicine doctors in Mexico, Florida, Alabama, we read books, blogs and sought advice from survivors around the world. We tried Gerson therapy, herbal supplements, juicing, and other holistic treatments until my dad lost his fight on December 15, 2016 at the age of 56.
During that time, however, what I learned was invaluable! I learned what environmental factors cause cancer and how to possibly prevent it. With three degrees already under my belt, I decided to go back to school to become a holistic practitioner so that I could share my findings with others... because, once you or a loved one find yourselves in the position we did, you no longer have time to start doing the research. You don't have time to start undoing the damage that has been done over the course of a lifetime.
My brother, a nurse (BSN) and I, in my holistic practice, are constantly evolving techniques derived from both Eastern and Western medicine; sharing information for the betterment of each other and everyone we have the privilege of sharing our experiences with.
My hope is that I can introduce Herban Provision products that can take the place of products currently on the market that contain known carcinogens. My hope is that you will read this story and reconsider what is in your refrigerator and your medicine cabinet and that you will be moved to start living a holistic lifestyle today.

FUN FACT
The kayak paddles in the logo is an homage to my dad who took me kayaking from the age of 3 until that last Father's Day together.

OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WATER PROJECT
The water crisis affects women, children, families and farmers. Women and girls in sub-Saharan Africa are spending hours a day fetching dirty water which leads to illness and disease, robbing entire communities of their futures. Lack of access to safe water and proper sanitation limits education and food production, harms health and leads to a cycle of poverty. For every Etsy order placed, a portion of the proceeds is donated to The Water Project to help bring clean water through new wells, rehabbed wells, sand dams, rainwater catchment systems and/or spring protections to schools, medical clinics and villages. Help us provide clean water, a basic necessity that so many of us take for granted to those who truly need it.
