For over 40 years Self Heal has been sourcing the best European herbs to make our original Swedish Bitters and hand-picking, cutting and powderising the finest wild-crafted New Zealand native herbs for our original Bush Bitters and native herbal powders, extracts and tinctures.
Started by Medical Herbalist Angela at her home in Mt Eden back in 1980 Self Heal has stayed in the family and now her daughter Poppy helps out at her home in Swanson.

If you can't decide between Swedish Bitters and Bush Bitters we recommend Swedish Bitters for people with blue or dark brown eyes and Bush Bitters for people with green, hazel or yellow brown eyes. If you have a milky looking eye we recommend Marupa or Swedish Bitters.
Bush Bitters
Angela was inspired to create Bush Bitters after the success of Self Heal's Swedish Bitters. The pharmacological components of Swedish Bitters were analysed and a herbal combination based on NZ native plants was created.
Native Herbs
Self Heal has a huge range of native herbal extracts. Most of our native herbs are available as powders. Because our powders are mostly done to order there is usually a wait while we pick, dry, grind, powder and sterilise. If you would like more information please email or give us a call.
