Combining Herbal Wisdom with

Modern Wellness

Carolyn Smith-Kizer, Clinical Herbalist

Embrace a Life of Anti-Inflammatory Living!

Welcome to a journey where nature meets modern science, guiding you towards a healthier, more balanced life. With over 22 years as a cancer survivor and training in clinical herbalism, I offer a unique perspective on holistic wellness.

As a clinical herbalist, I harness the power of herbs to support your body’s natural healing processes, particularly in managing inflammation. My approach blends time-honored herbal traditions with contemporary research, providing you with effective, natural solutions for your wellness.

Why working with a knowledgeable guide matters . . .

Success stories from clients

“Simply adopting a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, while reducing the intake of sugar and processed meats, led to significant improvements in overall well-being.–in my case less than eight days!”
B. Calson
“Carolyn’s lemon and salt water protocol solved a 7-year long yeast infection that doctors in 3 states couldn’t touch.”
Joyce K.
“Carolyn suggested candied ginger slices for my daughter to carry to school for use for period cramps since pills were not allowed. Her next cycle had less severe cramps, but the amazing thing was a gut issue she had was also resolved and she no longer had bad breath.”
Tanya N.

Your Path to Vibrant Wellness

Every individual’s journey to wellness is unique. By embracing the wisdom of herbs, nourishing foods, and a balanced lifestyle, you are taking significant steps toward vitality and joy. This journey is not about quick fixes; it’s about making sustainable choices that honor your body’s innate wisdom.

Why Choose Herbal Support?

Natural Wellness: Herbs offer gentle yet powerful support for reducing inflammation without the harsh side effects commonly associated with pharmaceuticals.

  • Evidence-Based Practices: My recommendations are grounded in scientific research and centuries of traditional use.
  • Holistic Care: I combine herbal preparations with dietary and lifestyle adjustments to address the root causes of inflammation and enhance overall wellness.

The Importance of Guidance

A knowledgeable herbalist understands that effective support goes beyond simple solutions and will not suggest a “this herb for that condition,” or “just swap this herb for that pharmaceutical” approach. Recommendations are tailored to your specific needs after a thorough assessment of your health concerns and body constitution.

Why Herbalists often suggest tea first. . .

  • Tea is a practical and accessible way to incorporate herbal solutions into daily routines.
  • It gently extracts beneficial compounds from herbs, making it suitable for long-term use and sensitive individuals.
  • The body easily absorbs these compounds when drinking tea.
  • Tea also helps maintain hydration and can be a calming ritual that reduces stress.
  • Additionally, herbal teas can be customized to individual tastes and health needs.
