Herbal Monkey is an independent UK apothecary, founded in the South East of England from a genuine passion for herbs, wellbeing and ancient plant wisdom. Every product is hand-selected through real research and careful sourcing, chosen for quality, integrity and respect for traditional use.
From sacred, historically significant herbs to practical everyday botanicals for sleep, focus and balance, our mission is simple: keep powerful plant knowledge relevant in the modern world.
Every order ships free across the UK — no minimum spend — in discreet, plain, plastic-free packaging. Most orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days, by Royal Mail, fully tracked.
Yes. We source from trusted suppliers and our standardised extracts — including our kanna extracts and Korean red ginseng at 20% ginsenosides — are lab-tested for potency and consistency. Quality and integrity are non-negotiable.
A standardised extract is tested to a guaranteed level of its active compounds, so every batch is the same strength — our standardised kanna and mushroom extracts work this way. A non-standardised extract is made traditionally and keeps the plant's full natural profile, so it varies a little between batches. Neither is better; they are different tools. Our preparation guides explain how each is typically prepared.
Most of our dried leaf and flower material is sold loose for infusion. The ones people reorder most are rosemary leaf (Salvia rosmarinus), plantain leaf (Plantago major) and our chakra tea blends. There is a fuller range in infused teas and dried herbs, and general steeping and preparation notes are in our preparation guides. Some products are sold as botanical specimens rather than for infusion, so always check the individual product page.
Soursop is Annona muricata, a tropical tree also called graviola or guanabana. The leaves are dried whole and traditionally steeped as an infusion. We sell them as dried whole soursop leaves, and also as a concentrated 10:1 fruit extract. Both are sold as botanical material; we make no health claims for either.
A yoni steam, sometimes called a chai yok or V-steam, is a traditional practice of sitting over a bowl of herbs steeped in hot water. It is external only. We blend ours from dried flowers and leaves such as mugwort, rose and calendula — see the yoni steam blends collection. We sell the botanicals, not medical advice; if you are pregnant, have an IUD or any gynaecological condition, speak to your doctor first.
Because common names are unreliable. "Wild dagga", "dream herb" and "blue lotus" each refer to more than one plant, and the wrong one is a genuinely different botanical. Every listing carries the binomial so you can be certain what you are buying — Leonotis leonurus, Calea zacatechichi, Nymphaea caerulea. It matters most on the less common material such as bobinsana (Calliandra angustifolia) and Mexican dream herb (Calea zacatechichi), which are sold as botanical specimens and are not for consumption.

Absolutely. Message us directly and we will point you to the right botanicals. If you would rather browse, start with herbs and teas for sleep, calm and balance, whole dried mushrooms or our ceremonial and ritual herbs. Every product page carries the botanical name so you can check you have the right plant.
