about

herbs from a herbalist…

miss bees balms is where you’ll find the consulting services of a highly experienced medical herbalist with a passion to empower you on your path to health in addition to a unique and gorgeous range of highly effective, 100% natural,  pure plant skincare, eco plant wax candles, and expertly formulated herbal tonics and teas.

connecting you with plants is what we’re all about…

our range of in-depth herbal consultations provide time, space, understanding and reflection of your health and health needs helping identify underlying causes of illness, how best to address these concerns, and to ultimately support your body and mind back to wellbeing and balance using plant medicine, lifestyle and nutrition ~ under the guidance of a highly experienced, intuitive practitioner.

balm for the skin: balm for the soul…

using only the finest botanical ingredients, our distinctive organic skincare products aim to deeply nourish, balance, and improve the skin structure by harnessing whole plant goodness, keeping skincare as uncomplicated as it should be.

our organic herbal tonics are concentrated liquid extracts of medicinal herbs, expertly formulated to support your wellbeing.  the herbal tinctures we make are very convenient to take, much stronger than herb infusions (herbal teas) and extract both the health promoting and supportive therapeutic properties of plants using a mix of water and alcohol.  simply add a few drops to a glass of water or herbal tea for a fortifying burst of plant energetics.

a delicious alternative for those who enjoy the ritual of tea making and tea drinking, our organic loose leaf tisanes (teas) are one of the simplest ways to include herbs in your daily life. to be enjoyed hot or cold, our thoughtfully formulated blends are based on some of our most popular herbal tonics. Gentle yet potent, herbal tisanes support you in a beautifully unique way.

our hand-poured  botanical candles ~ made exclusively and simply with super eco plant wax and organic essential oils for the ultimate therapeutic experience.

we know what works…

established by fiona brannigan, a degree qualified medical herbalist with over 20 years of clinical experience and extensive knowledge of using medicinal herbs for wellbeing, miss bees balms products are made to the highest quality and standards in accordance with traditional methods that are are kind to both you and the environment.
    
each ingredient is thoughtfully considered for its unique properties and qualities and carefully blended to help maximise the rich benefits of plants working in synergy with one another.

our balms and oils are formulated to repair and renew, soothe and nourish, moisturise and protect using only exceptional natural ingredients including cold pressed oils, plant infused oils, butters, waxes, and pure essential oils all carefully selected to restore the natural vitality and radiance of the skin.    
using plant infused oils in our products allows for a very gentle yet potent way of delivering therapeutic plant properties to the skin in a time honoured fashion. 

our hand blended herbal tincture tonics and teas are made using traditional plant wisdom gained through both observation and experience, to help support your wellbeing on a daily basis. (however, we gently advise that should you require a bespoke herbal medicine blend that you book a one-to-one consultation where your individual needs will be carefully considered. this is especially valuable where there may be a complex health history or prescribed conventional medication etc. to consider).

we believe less is more and simplicity is key… 

using only absolutely essential ingredients, in their purest form, and in optimum quantities, we proudly avoid the use of cheap bulkers, fillers, and synthetics and all other unnecessary and often dubious additions.
made without water, our oil based skincare products are very concentrated,  packed full of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals ~ the perfect skin food; whilst our herbal tisanes are made using only whole leaf herbs and flowers and our herbal tonic tinctures are made simply with just three ingredients ~ herb, water and alcohol, as they have been for hundreds of years.

handmade individually in micro batches, on a daily basis, ensures maximum freshness and potency and products you can trust to deliver ~ we know exactly what goes into every bottle and balm, tincture and tonic.

as you would expect, we endeavour to source organic, sustainable, biodynamic, wildcrafted and fair-trade/fairly traded ingredients wherever possible, supporting small scale suppliers and business.  
we use green, amber and miron glass containers not only for their  preserving and aesthetic properties but also for their endless recycling potential whilst our packaging is kept to a minimum to help reduce environmental impact.

ingredients and products are only tested on humans (very successfully) - and not on animals - ever.
