:Our Work
Herbalists Without Borders organizes more than 15 unique sustainable, herbal, health & wellness projects. We invite you to learn more about each and join our efforts. Special project coordinators offer support and suggestions with a similar project you're hoping to organize.
We have projects that span from HWB Chapters and International Borderless herbal medicine in Kenya to community gardens throughout the US and even a children’s garden in South Africa. HWB supports herbal free people’s clinics, mobile clinics, street medics, disaster relief, and more in communities throughout the globe. Our chapter in Greece provides training and support to refugees. Our Veterans Resiliency Holistic Clinic offers multiple modalities of CAM health to veterans including craniosacral therapy, massage, acupuncture, meditation, nutrition & wellness, herbalism, and somatic experiencing. HWB Puerto Rico serves a vast population across the island after the devastation of hurricane Maria. HWB promotes community gardens and medicinal seed saving to sustain our native medicinals plants. HWB also has many chapters globally working directly in their communities to provide alternative herbal health support after hurricanes, forest fires, to the homeless population and to those surviving trauma.

Los Guardianes de las Tradiciones Medicinales Ancestrales/ Keepers of Herbal Traditions
Puerto Rico was devastated by hurricane Maria, and rebuilding and recovery will be ongoing. The Keepers of Herbal Traditions works to provide immediate holistic care through weekly free popup clinics providing herbal and nutritional consultations throughout the island.

Trauma Trainings>>Emerging Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) methods of health, wellness, recovery and resiliency are surfacing as effective options for victims and survivors of domestic abuse, rape, violent crime, war and other tragic experiences. These innovative CAM modalities are health pathways that Herbalists Without Borders International promotes through various models of our Trauma Trainings.

Nourishing Community Gardens>>When we think about the problems currently facing society, it is easy to become overwhelmed and disempowered. Creating community gardens that bring back the wild foods of the local habitat (herbs, mushrooms, berries, and nuts) and weaving them with the fruits and vegetables is a tangible way to be a part of the solution.

Medicinal Seed Saving>>Herbalists Without Borders is passionate about saving and sustaining our native medicinals and wants to teach others how to preserve seeds and propagate medicinal plants. While we believe that food is a primary source of medicine, HWB also wants to promote Seed Saving models that include medicinal plants.
