Herbal Supplements
Herbal supplements are the deepest shelf in the department — hundreds of products drawn from plant traditions around the world. You'll find single herbs and thoughtful blends in every classic format: herbal teas like hyssop from Herbaria, cold-pressed oils such as organic raw pumpkin seed oil, capsules and tinctures, and modern powder blends that stir into coffee or hot water. If you've been searching for a proper herbal store, this aisle is it.

Part of the pleasure of this aisle is its breadth. Western herbalism's staples sit beside botanicals from Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese practice, and functional-mushroom blends — reishi elixirs, lion's mane coffee mixes — have earned their own shelf within the section. Because so many products here are also foods, you'll see plenty of organic labelling; as always, organic and vegan claims reflect the manufacturer's certification on the package.
Format is the first choice to make. Teas are the gentlest way to get acquainted with an herb; capsules offer consistency and convenience; tinctures and liquids let you adjust the amount drop by drop; and powders blend into smoothies or your morning cup. Single-packet options from brands like Four Sigmatic make it easy to try before you commit to a full box.
Herbal products in Canada are licensed natural health products, so each label carries an NPN along with its permitted uses and cautions — worth reading closely, since herbs can interact with medications. If you take prescriptions, check with your health-care practitioner or bring your list to the Greenbrook pharmacy counter; matching botanicals to what you're already taking is exactly the kind of question we like.
