WEST  STAR  HERBS was founded on the principles of Holism, which sees health as a positive state, not just the absence of disease. In Holistic theory the encouragement of health and prevention of dis-ease is a main concern, but so is the idea of an individual's personal responsibility for their health. The theory of Holism is based upon seeing an indiivual as a whole rather than as parts making up a whole. Not only is Holism concerned with the physical being as a whole but also considers the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person. We cannot truly be healed until we are healed on all these levels. West Star Herbs offers workshops, consulations, and products, which assist individuals in reaching the goal of holistic health.

LIZ  WESTWATER  BA, MSM
Liz has been studing and working with herbs for over 20 years. Raised in a family of gardeners, Liz has always had a love of the green world. After purchasing her first herbal book in 1979, she became aware of the healing power of plants when used as medicinals.

Liz has a background in social work, public health, and training and is currently pursuing a PhD in Natural Health. She founded West Star Herbs to combine her many interests and passions. Her workshops are developed to meet a wide range of needs from healing with herbs to empowerment for women through exploration of their spiriuality. Working with herbs in their many forms is also a means of creative expression. Many of West Star Herbs' workshops provide participants with the opportunity to "make and take" herbal crafts and gifts and a variety of healing products.

In addition to workshops, WEST STAR HERBS offers an array of herbal products. All West Star herbal products are made from wild crafted or organically grown herbs. We use only high quality pure organic essential oils. All products are hand made in small batches. Because we work on a small scale we are able to custom blend teas, salves, and other products to suit individual needs. Please let us know if you have a specific request. All of our products are available via this website.
