ABOUT US
Hello, everyone! For those who may not have had the pleasure of meeting me yet, I am Iris, the proud owner of Herb, by IrisElizabeth LLC, a thriving establishment founded in 2018. At Herb, we offer an extensive online collection of over 60 bulk herbs and exquisite loose-leaf tea blends, meticulously curated to address various health ailments.
My upbringing in the Dominican Republic kindled a fascination for herbal remedies at a young age, as I crafted perfumes using the flowers from my grandmother’s front yard. Little did I know that this early interest would later blossom into a passion for the world of herbalism.
In my early twenties, fate led me to meet my mother-in-law, Noni, whose profound knowledge, and wisdom opened my eyes to the remarkable capabilities of herbal medicine, particularly as a form of primary care.
A few years down the road, during my pregnancy, I took the decisive step of legally establishing Herb by IrisElizabeth, further solidifying my place in the herbal landscape.
I am constantly seeking knowledge and exploring intricate concepts like the Doctrine of Signatures and the Four Humors. My dedication to learning has led me to take courses at the Herbal Academy, where I proudly earned three certifications in herbalism. Presently, I am working towards attaining my master’s in therapeutic herbalism while simultaneously embracing a role as a member of the International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy.
As I journey on this path, I find myself still exploring the vast possibilities that the herbal field offers. The beauty of herbalism lies in the diverse career paths available, allowing me to discover where my passion as an herbalist will find its most meaningful expression.
Personally, I am captivated by the idea of herbal medicine practitioners becoming an integral part of our current healthcare system, blending the timeless traditions of herbal wisdom with the contemporary needs of our modern world.
As I continue to evolve and grow on this journey, I remain deeply inspired by the transformative power of herbal remedies and stand loyal in my commitment to promoting holistic health practices.
