Herbal Clinic History
Herbal Clinic is an online apothecary offering a vast selection of dried botanicals, tea blends, herbal tinctures, essential oils, and all-natural skincare. Our products are handcrafted in small batches in our humble warehouse situated in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Your order is made and compounded by our team of herbalists and naturopathic doctors. We pride ourselves on making quality products you can trust. Here’s a timeline of our journey so far.
