St. Francis Herb Farm In Canada

In an ever more hectic world, it’s a good thing that some things never change: especially good things. Here at St. Francis Herb Farm® Inc., we are strict believers in the principles and timeless truths of “herbal wisdom”. That is why we have dedicated ourselves to providing natural remedies made from the finest quality herbs—herbs carefully harvested and processed in accordance with the practices of sustainable agriculture.

As multi-generational herbal artisans, our experience and respect for traditional herbalism has taught us that the wisdom of nature, and of plant medicine, cannot and should not be isolated to one part of the plant.  Each herb has a part that provides us with the most benefit, for some it’s the leaves for some it’s the roots, and for some it’s the flowers. Further, there is a unique way to harness the power of most medicinal parts so that we feel the most benefit.  That is why we created and perfected our Holistic-Herb™ Approach, to get the most out of nature so that you can feel your best.

It all starts with a well grown herb!

Organic Farming – Organic farming is much more than just banning the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.  Rather it is a holistic approach to growing the plants that looks at elements such as sustainability, soil fertility and biological diversity.  In addition to our organic farm in Barry’s Bay, we work with local Canadian organic farmers so that our products start with the best herb possible.

Decades of wisdom have taught us what to do with those herbs

Craft – Some herbs extract better brought in fresh from the field, some herbs extract better when dried.  There are many variables that are part of our processes and we accommodate for each one including temperature control, length of maceration, and methods of extraction to name a few.  When it is time for a herb to be extracted, we set up our entire operation to best suit the needs of that herb. We have perfected this craft through ongoing reference to traditional herbal texts and decades of experience.

Science is used to optimize the process

Science –Analytical testing allows us to take our farming practices and craft and validate that they are in fact coming together as we intend to give you the best herbal product.  We have an ongoing partnership with the Biopharmaceutical Department of the University of Ottawa to assess these variables and ensure processes that result in an optimal extract.

St Francis Herb Farm Canadian Bitters

Canadian Bitters® is probably the most iconic and best known of all our formulas. Herbal bitters are an extremely valuable aid in maintaining good health, so much so that the appropriate rule of thumb may not so much be “you are what you eat”—as important this is—but rather, “you are what you digest”. By enhancing secretions of the liver, pancreas, stomach, and small intestine, bitters revitalize a whole range of digestive functions and provide rich enzyme catalysts, which improve nutrient absorption. If you have trouble with flatulent dyspepsia—gas, burping, bloating and indigestion—you’ll derive tremendous benefit from Canadian Bitters®.

A great and vital formula, Canadian Bitters® also helps with cholesterol build-up, hyperlipidaemia, constipation, digestive distress, and sluggish elimination, which is often the result of reduced secretions by the digestive organs and small intestine. As an added bonus, it protects the liver from toxins.

Benefits:

• Enhances organ function for better digestion
• Provide rich enzyme catalysts, which improve nutrient absorption
• Supports bloating, indigestion, gas (burping & flatulence)
• Most valuable in maintaining good health
