Northern Rivers Free Community Herbal Care
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Erin Lovell Verinder, and I am a local herbalist and author living in the Northern Rivers and have witnessed the devastation of the floods first-hand. I have been on the ground here, speaking to traumatised and shellshocked people, hearing of their troubles and suffering. In response to what I witnessed, I am assembling a team of qualified herbalists and naturopaths to mobilise on the ground to reach these vulnerable people in need.
I am calling out for donations to set up a roaming free community herbal clinic within the flood-affected areas of the Northern Rivers. We will offer free services and plant remedies as an option to create a container of support to help people move through this catastrophic event.
All funds will go directly to clinic operations and will provide support for people experiencing the following types of concerns:
- Sleep issues
- Anxiety/panic attacks
- Physical/emotional/spiritual trauma
- Infections
- Illness from exposure to the elements such as mould and bacteria
I aim to safely distribute the following herbal products via a roaming herbal dispensary:
- Herbal teas
- Herbal tinctures
- Herbal balms
- Aromatherapy products
- Flower essences/rescue remedy
- Arnica products for bruising/injury
- Antibacterial balms/sprays
- Tonic powdered herbs
Many incredible herbal product donations are flowing in from brands, big and small to stock the dispensary. But many of you from afar are asking to donate directly to this cause. We will need funds to cover bottling, labelling, feul costs, sanitary supplies and much more to run the clinic smoothly.
Of course, essential needs come first, but this project is about sustaining and rebuilding a community whose collective nervous system is shattered. The people need the plants! Please help me set up this free herbal clinic.
With warmth,
Erin
