Green Energy Herbals
are prepared on a smallholding situated on the west coast of South Africa, close
to Cape Town. Towards the end of 1992 we started collecting recipes
from within the family in order to preserve herbal traditions for
ourselves that had proved invaluable in our growing years.
In 1994 the opportunity presented itself to move onto the present
smallholding and as we cleared the alien vegetation, a revolution
started, where they all do, underground. Each year we are
visited by a spring carnival, that year by year, expands in beauty
and variety. Much of this flora is researched for possible medicinal
and/or food value, and today many Flower Essences, and Tinctures are
prepared from this flora.
Our herb gardens are left fairly wild in order to encourage
self-seeding. This creates an environment, which naturally increases
the medicinal properties of the various herbs. We presently use over
70 herbs in our herbal treatment range, of which 30 are indigenous,
many collected from the veldt, fresh for use.
We use our own home made compost, fertilisers, “pest confusers”, and
grow as many herbs as is climatically possible to create our
products.
We use
companion planting,
moon gardening
and
organic methods.
Due to the nature of our gardening practices, it is not always
possible to compost in a way that benefits the entire garden.
The flora that arrives every year prefers a nutrient poor soil and
any tree, herb etc. that is planted needs to be composted carefully
in order to maintain a balance between the two distinct flora.
Combinations of various alternate methods have become a daily way of
life. Water is our most precious commodity and using water wisely
and ensuring correct energies in water automatically improves the
quality of our soil, our plants, and finally, ourselves.
Over 130 wild flowers have been identified to date.

Many of these little wonders are used in the preparation of our
Flower & Rock Crystal Essences
We live in a very precious part of our planet and need to make
ourselves aware of the fragmentation we are causing within our rich
and diverse floral kingdom. Each one of us can, become individual
conservationists, and in our unique way, contribute to the saving of
this beauty for ourselves and future generations.
