why our remedies
Herbs are the natural healers of the world. ~ Nicholas Culpeper
nature’s original medicine
Did you know that many of the world’s most popular over-the-counter drugs trace their origins back to humble herbs? Aspirin, for instance, is derived from Meadowsweet, while Foxglove is the source of Digoxin, a powerful heart medication. And our strongest painkillers - morphine and codeine - come from the pretty Opium poppy. Long before pharmacies lined their shelves with synthetics, nature provided its own potent remedies - pure, effective, and time-tested.
It took years of meticulous formulation (and a bit of serendipity) to create the Booti Bush Remedies that are designed to target the eight most common health complaints. Truth be told, it all began two decades ago at The Last Resort, my health spa in Bondi. Back then, I saw firsthand the frustration clients faced with mainstream health practitioners: hefty fees, numerous follow-ups, and medicine cabinets overflowing with half-used supplements collecting dust. I wanted to do things differently.
Rather than insisting clients come back every month like clockwork, I flipped the script: Come back when you want, but I’m going to arm you with everything you need to be self-empowered and accountable for your own health and wellness. My philosophy was simple: you know your body best. I can guide you, but you’re the one taking the steps.
When you run out of your herbal tonic, you don’t need to pay for another full consultation just to restock. My amazing team will have your blend ready for pickup at the front counter. Of course, I always recommend a six-month check-in if you’re continuing with the herbs, just to tweak and adjust your mix as needed. But the power? It’s in your hands.
And just like that, those tonics began flying off the shelves. Demand grew so rapidly that I had to create custom formulas for everything from cleanse and energy to hormonal balance, immunity, liver support, mood balance, sleep, and metabolic balance.
Twenty years on (and after a few flavour-saving tweaks), I can confidently say these remedies aren’t just theory - they’re the real deal. They've been taste-tested, tantrum-tested, and approved by thousands of naturopathic clients. Let’s just say, it took a few grimaces and more than one ‘are you trying to kill me?’ to perfect the balance between ‘works wonders’ and ‘won’t make you gag.’
Booti Booti Bush Remedies are straight-up plant magic and designed to vibe with that inner healer we all have. It’s herbal medicine that’s as potent as it is pure, brewed with old-school wisdom and road-tested in real life. As naturopaths, we’re not here to play doctor. We’re here to back up your body’s natural smarts and give it a gentle nudge when it’s veered off course. No preaching, just potent plant besties doing their thing.
