:HWB Vision and Values

​ Our Primary Values 

  • HWB believes that health and wellness are human rights, not privileges

  • HWB recognizes many global citizens lack access to primary health and wellness due to economic hardship and other barriers

  • HWB promotes health justice and oppression free local and global wellness practices

  • HWB engages in volunteer efforts focused primarily on natural and botanical health and wellness solutions via education, prevention, empowerment, grassroots advocacy and organizing

  • HWB builds a renewed consciousness about conditions created by dominant social and economic institutions that impact all human beings; emphasizing the roles of traditional herbalists and healers who live and work within those systems often experiencing social stigma, pressure, devalued status and sub-standard wages for vital services they provide

  • HWB believes that poverty is inherently violent in nature and health services must be accessible and affordable

  • HWB embraces non-violence, social justice, health and wellness as means to transform cultural and global trauma and violence

  • HWB creates and promotes inter-cultural herbal health education, herbal borderless medicine exchanges and actions via local to global chapters

Mission Statement

Herbalists Without Borders vision is a global community where all people have access to affordable natural and botanical health and wellness. To bring that vision into reality, we work with community-based chapters to create educational, advocacy and grassroots model projects to fill the gaps in health justice internationally.

"You Cannot Get Through a Single Day Without Having an Impact on the World Around You.  What You Do Makes a Difference, and You Have to Decide What Kind of Difference You're Going to Make."  
~Jane Goodall
