At the core of Bernie’s Herbals is a simple belief: everyone should have access to food that makes you feel physically well.
There are certain plants that people have been going to for generations for support and balance within the body. 

Bernie’s Herbals focuses on making tea blends from plants known for their ability to soothe and balance the nervous system. These herbs are known as ’Adaptogens’. They are known for being able to ‘adapt’ to your individual nervous systems needs and for lowering inflammation. 

After twenty three years of battling pain and inflammation through having Arthritis and Lupus (S.L.E.) I can say Adaptogens like Wood betony, Schisandra berry, and Lemon balm are powerful allies in living at peace with my body. I deeply believe a calm nervous system is at the core of keeping inflammation down and keeping inflammation down is at the core of a strong functioning immune system.
There are so many ways our nervous system is taxed all day, especially these days. It is my goal to make it easier for you to add something into your day that is soothing, grounding and strengthening. Something that fights inflammation. 

We source our herbs from farms that care about the nutrients of the soil. This way you get as many benefits from the herbs as possible to support a stronger you (“Soul, Body & Mind”). 
This also ensures an extremely flavorful cup-without having to add “flavors” to our blends—keeping it truly natural.

My husband (Bernie) used his training in La’au Lapa’au (Hawaiian plant medicine) to help form recipes to help me feel better, to carry our first child despite my Lupus and to help our souls heal when we lost our second child and to find strength in our bodies to keep going.
These recipes are a love story and our life story and it is our greatest honor to share them with the world in the hopes that they may support you, any way you need.

We have been tweaking our recipes and perfecting our blends to taste as good as they make you feel for the last 11 years.

We thank you for being apart of our story and we invite you to join us on this journey of healing, nourishment, and community.

Together, we rise.
With love and gratitude,
