The Herbal Zen is where my scientific, pharmaceutical background meets my passion for natural wellness. It is a reflection of my own personal journey as well as a symbol of the integrity, quality, and care that we put into all of our products.
I’ve always had a passion for helping people and a love for all things health and science, so I graduated with my Doctorate of Pharmacy and began working as a retail pharmacist. The long hours and demanding workload of retail pharmacy, however, began to take a toll on my own health and well-being. It’s ironic that even though I dedicated myself to helping others be healthy, my own health was deteriorating.
I left retail pharmacy to take some time for self-care. During this transitional period, I wanted to reset physically, mentally, and spiritually and felt myself being pulled in the direction of natural health and wellness.
I have struggled with allergies for most of my life. Finding a natural alternative to the over-the-counter allergy medication I was currently taking felt like a manageable place to start building my natural wellness routine. My research eventually led me to the world of essential oils. I was simply stunned by how much information attested to the benefits of essential oils.
I tried every possible essential oil product designed for allergies but was ultimately underwhelmed. I needed to find a product that would easily fit into my daily routine and only had essential oils, no artificial fragrances or perfumes. The light bulb went off when I realized that if a bath bomb can be infused with essential oils then I could make something similar to be used in the shower. I immediately went to work formulating the most effective recipes and after countless renditions, I finally developed our first shower steamer, the Cold Kicker. I then went on to create an entirely unique line of essential oil-infused shower steamers, each one with a specific purpose in mind.
After hearing the positive experiences of everyone who used the shower steamers, along with my own first-hand experience with their benefits, I knew I had to share my product with everyone. Finally, something effective that I could use with peace of mind and share with my community with absolute integrity. I wanted to commit myself to my true calling of helping people live naturally happier and healthier lives.
