Sara Fotheringham – Master Herbalist
Sara started making herbal remedies with her great grandmother as a child. The smells of herbs and tinctures quickly became the smells of happiness and contentment. The act of helping others while honouring the earth stirred in her a passion for herbalism.
Over the years, Sara has used her skills to help those in need within the community. The more she helped, the more she realized how the need in the Greater Niagara Region was only growing, and thus, the idea of Niagara Medicinal Herbs was born.
Sara returned to school and completed her Chartered Herbalist Diploma. She then began putting the wheels in motion for NMH.
Her dream is to serve her community, educate people on nature’s healing powers and inspire others to take up the herbal path.

Why Natural Medicine?
Society is changing, and humanity is moving away from the pharmaceutical industry to embrace natural products for better health and wellbeing.
As consumers, we’re becoming more aware of what we put in our bodies. This is making us question our shopping habits and where we get things from.
It’s time we return to our roots and begin working with nature, instead of against or outside of it. The earth naturally provides thousands of cures, treatments and preventative products derived from herbal medicine.
The practice of herbalism works to use these natural ingredients, and turn them into safe and effective treatments for you. At NMH, our skilled Herbalist uses only organic herbs sourced locally to make our incredible products.
Pain
With pain caused by inflammation, our Muscle Rub can target sore and overworked joints. We also have magnesium spray, Meadowsweet (natural aspirin),specially formulated bath bombs, bath salts, and roll-on complexes.
Fatigue
Ashwagandha stabilizes hormones which can be a main cause of fatigue for many.
Maca can give you a boost of energy, and Yerba Mate makes a great coffee replacement!
Detoxification
No one can eat perfectly all the time. Detoxing can be as easy as a daily dandelion tea. We have that!
Women's Health
Our Full Moon Blend (in tea or tincture) can help with most PMS symptoms, while our Sage and Motherwort blend helps with pre and post-menopause symptoms. We also have herbs for lactation and pregnancy available.
Ever heard of Kaishore Guggulu? It suppresses appetite, stabilizes blood sugar, and is diabetic-friendly! There can be many reasons we gain weight, book a consult to find out why!

Lavender tea, Ashwagandha, Mushrooms (specifically lions mane and cordyceps), can help with both chronic and occasional issues.
