Custom Herbal Formulas
Teas, Powders, Liquid Extracts
When you become a client at Greenspring Herbs, you receive the opportunity to receive custom blended herbal preparations.
I currently use the Herbal Dispensary at Maryland University of Integrative Health to fill formulas for my clients. The Herbal Dispensary stocks high quality, organic, and ethically-sourced bulk herbs and liquid extracts, and is a model for herbal dispensaries around the country. The Herbal Dispensary handles payment and shipping for all orders.
Why Custom Herbal Formulation?
-
The herbs just for you
-
Pre-manufactured herbal blends are created to help a wide variety of people with a certain condition, but not you in particular.
-
Custom formulation allows me to choose just those herbs that I think will be helpful for you.
-
​
-
You are not your condition
-
Just because you have a condition or diagnosis does not mean you are the same as everyone else with that same condition or diagnosis.
-
For example, 2 people with interstitial cystitis may have very different root causes. One may need primarily immune support, while another needs help with digestion.
-
Another example would be 2 people dealing with high blood pressure. One may benefit from classic cardiotonics, while the other really needs adaptogens and nervines to help with stress.

Constitution & energetics
-
You are unique. Do you run cold? dry? warm? damp? These are important considerations for choosing the right herbs, not just whether the herb is used for your condition.

-
Tea? Powder? Liquid Extract?
Custom formulation allows us the freedom to use herbs in a form that works for you.
-
Are you a tea drinker?
-
Great, let's make you a supportive tea.
-
-
Are you busy and need something you can take on the go?
-
Liquid extracts may be the best.
-
-
Are you looking for something that you can incorporate into what you eat or drink?
-
Powders might be the best solution.

​Purchasing Herbs
The cost of herbs and dietary supplements are not included in the price of the consultation. In addition to custom formulations, I may recommend supplements that can be acquired through my professional supplement dispensary, or that can be acquired at local health food stores, or other sites online.
