Local Herb Directory
Four Southeast Asian herbs at the centre of our 18 July local herb workshop — traditional use, current evidence, and how each is prepared. This directory is a reference guide, not a shop: some of these herbs are available as packaged teas, others are shared as part of our workshops and community sessions.
A cooling everyday tea from a shrub common in Singapore's parks and community gardens — traditionally used for digestion, fevers, wound care, and postpartum recovery.
A bitter, cooling Malay garden herb traditionally used as a diuretic and 'detoxifying' tonic to support urinary flow and liver function.
One of West Africa's most important bitter tonic herbs — traditionally used to stimulate digestion, bile flow, and liver function.
A reddish-stemmed garden herb valued in TCM as a blood-nourishing tonic and in Ayurveda for eye health and vision support.
