Our Story & Ethos
The journey began over 30 years ago in France, when Sally, aged 18, worked as a nanny in the Drôme Provence region. Surrounded by lavender fields and wild thyme, she was introduced to the traditional use of herbal tisanes and homeopathic remedies — an experience that sparked a lifelong fascination with natural medicine.
Returning home inspired, she went on to study medicine and qualified as a doctor in 1998, working within the NHS for many years. A childhood love of growing food, combined with a strong family interest in herbal medicine, continued to draw her toward more natural and holistic approaches to health.
Travels through India and Australia in her early twenties further deepened this path, where she studied Ayurveda and spent time learning from Aboriginal Elders in the outback. Motivated to integrate traditional wisdom with modern medical science, she qualified as a medical herbalist in 2004 and established a family naturopathic practice in Lincolnshire.
Clinical Experience & Training
Over the next two decades, Sally undertook extensive postgraduate study with leading experts in nutritional therapy, homeopathy, aromatherapy, acupuncture, TCM & bio-identical hormone therapy. In 2025, she also completed certification in Functional Medicine, further strengthening her integrative clinical approach.
Her thriving practice, Dr Sally’s Clinic, is based on the family farm in Lincolnshire within a beautifully restored 17th-century barn, Orchard Barn Health. There, she has supported thousands of patients and witnessed first-hand the profound impact that nutrition and herbal medicine can have on long-term health and wellbeing.
Our Promise to You
After years of seeing remarkable clinical results, Dr Sally’s Botanicals was founded in 2021 to make her carefully developed formulations more widely available. Each product reflects the same standards used in clinic, allowing more people to benefit from her knowledge and experience.
We are deeply committed to quality and use only professional-grade herbs, ethically sourced and organic wherever possible. Our teas are packaged in biodegradable, compostable tea temples designed to allow full infusion of plant phytonutrients, releasing their nourishing and supportive properties. Our biodynamic organic tonics are produced to gold-standard specifications, in effective dosages, using herbs grown on a wildlife-friendly farm in Rutland.
Caring for You — and the Environment
Respect for nature is central to everything we do. Across our clinic and product range we use organic herbs, plastic-free packaging, and environmentally responsible materials. Our teas are packed in plant-based compostable bags and eco-printed cardboard boxes, while our tonics are bottled in recyclable glass.
All energy used on our premises comes from renewable sources, and our spaces are cleaned using environmentally friendly products.
Reusable Tea Temples
Each tea temple contains 2g of professional-grade organic herbs, carefully measured for optimal flavour and therapeutic infusion. They can be reused up to three times, or brewed as a pot to enjoy gradually throughout the day.
