We envision a world where the Black community has easy access to alternative healing options outside of Western methods.
What we do
Our mission is to connect the Black community to their roots by centering the Black family and providing knowledge in holistic healing through West African plant medicine.
We nurture lifelong support in reconnecting marginalized people with ancestral modalities to impart traditional remedies for common ailments that plague Black bodies.
In turn, we aim to change the narrative by empowering self-healers and their communities, to realize everlasting change wholly and completely.
Who we serve and why
Tree Likkle Herbs, LLC was born out of the realization that the Black community requires more knowledge in self-advocacy, community support, and education in ancestral healing practices to combat racial disparities in the Western healthcare system. Compared with whites, members of racial and ethnic minorities are less likely to receive preventive health services and often receive lower-quality care.
To mitigate statistics like these, we aim to build whole communities of Black self-healers through decolonized access, research, instruction, and 1:1 connections.
There's no better time than now to resurface the tabooed existence of our life-sustaining customs.
Our research-backed approach
Herbalism often involves a combination of traditional knowledge and modern scientific research. Here are 3 key areas of how we incorporate evidence-based approaches into our work with clients.
-
Research in herbalism aims to pinpoint the specific active compounds in plants responsible for their medicinal properties. Techniques like energetics and herbal actions of plants providing insights into their therapeutic effects in the human body.
-
Rigorous clinical trials and human studies are crucial for validating the efficacy and safety of herbal remedies. By comparing herbal treatments to placebos or conventional medications, we are able to assess their impact on specific health conditions, establishing evidence-based effectiveness.
