Herbal Tea has made such a big difference in my health!
I’ve just started in Ditch the Drugstore, but I immediately made a daily tea for my GI issues and have noticed a very positive improvement daily. I also know when I don’t drink it; not so good. I was afraid I wouldn’t like the flavor but it’s so mild, I love it. Thank you, Heidi❤️

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
You've tried and tried to like herbal teas....and yet, you just don't! You've bought the boxes from the store. You've made your own blends. You've picked herbs from the garden, like mint. And you're so disappointed in the taste!
And you wonder.....
How on earth do people drink healthy teas every day?
Let's face it--
You KNOW in your heart of hearts that herbal teas should be something you just love. But you've just not been able to get your taste buds on board.
You know that you should be able to figure out how to make beautiful herbal teas taste GOOD, but you just can't seem to crack the code....
- Your teas are bitter
- You're not convinced they really have all the health benefits people say they do
- You wonder if it's worth it?
- On top of that, buying quality loose leaf teas from herbalists or even in shops is EXPENSIVE....
- You love teas, but you don't know where to begin blending your own and creating formulas
What if I told you it doesn't have to be this way?
That there was a way to make sure you create the best, most delicious tea blends for yourself and your family?
Hi! I'm Heidi Villegas.
Since 2012 I've taught thousands of people to use herbs and essential oils so they and their family can experience:
- Improved health and wellness
- Speedy and healthy recoveries from cold, flu, and more
- Enhanced immune systems
- Better sleep
- Peace of mind about what they're putting in their own and their family members' bodies
- Being prepared for health needs and emergencies
- Empowerment in health choices
- And SO much more....
I can help YOU have these things too!
I'm an experienced:
- community and clinical herbalist
- certified professional level aromatherapist,
- herb grower and forager
- herb formulator and tea afficionado (I used to own a tea shop)
CONSIDER WHAT'S POSSIBLE...
Imagine waking up in the morning and pouring some boiling water over the beautiful herbal blend you created a few days ago....and it's simply delicious, easing you into your day as you watch the sun rise in the distance.
And...you know that lovely tea is nourishing your body, mind, and spirit, readying you for the day ahead.
I consistently reach for Heidi's tea recipes....
I have always brewed tea, no matter the temp outside. But my tea experience improved greatly when I tried Joe's tea blends then learned to make them on my own from Heidi's website. I consistently reach for Heidi's tea recipes and this week it is clear sinus. I've made happiness tea and sress reducing tea for my niece and it really helped her even out her emotions.

"I'm so GLAD I jumped in to learn herbalism!"
"One of the biggest victories aside from improved breathing problems is we no longer buy 1-2 boxes of Sudafed EVERY MONTH! We don't use ibuprofen every day like we used to, either! I don't remember the last time we used it! This is all MAJOR. I use only herbal expectorants now! My last bottle of Robitussin is on the shelf, expired long ago! And for pain relief: This has been a stubborn condition and to get through it without drugs is amazing! I am SO encouraged!
I also have to say that we have just not been sick since we started using herbs regularly! I can't thank you enough for giving me the practical instruction and encouragement that I needed to jump in to all of this after hesitating for so, so long!"

I never liked tea. Now I drink it every day and love it!
I never liked tea. After learning from Heidi I now drink tea every day some for medicinal reasons and others for just pleasure. I also have my daughters drinking tea daily for the same reasons. It’s been a game changer for us. I’m looking forward to making cold tea for the summer to cool off. I’m hooked on teas!

Where do I start? Tea has been a life saver for me.
I told my daughter about Heidi's lung support tea that I made and she wanted me to mail it to her. My grandson drank it every day and by golly, it cleared up his lungs. He was able to swim in a week! He even asked me to send more in case he needed it another time.
---Pat Bourret, student
I love that I have tea as an option to take care of those I love...
I love that I have tea as an option to take care of those I love. For example when my husband had a really bad junky cough, I was able to make him a tea to help support his lungs. Currently I’m helping my body support my kidneys and liver with a daily tea. It’s actually one of my favorite parts of my mornings.
---Candace Kristensen, herbalist

Step Three: CREATE! This is a great step in learning herbalism and making delicious and health bringing blends. You'll be able to step into formulating for both pleasure, health, and know how to get the perfect flavors.
The most important thing I have learned is how to make a tea for medicinal purposes.
It was Heidi who introduced me to real herbal tea during the stay at home mandates. I learned how to make teas for afternoon unwind, before bed sleepiness, and morning get up and go. One of the most important things I have learned is how to make a tea for medicinal purposes. The most memorable was the "no poop tea" I threw together as I was heading out to work one morning. It worked as good as an Immodium AD without the after effects. Because of everything I've learned from Heidi and students in her school, I didn't have to reach for the pill in the foil packet."
---Ann G., student
What a huge difference!
I've honestly never been a big fan of teas...my experience was using Celestial Seasonings mostly. Once I heard Heidi explain how the store teas are not a great option due to being so overly processed, and goodness knows how old they are. I started making my own blends. What a huge difference!

CAN I GET A PHYSICAL COPY OF THE BOOKS?
The materials inside the course are digital. We do have a print option for the book on top of the price of the course for students of the course. As long as you're a student enrolled in the course, just reach out to: support@healingharvesthomestead.com for the link to purchase.
HOW SOON AFTER PURCHASING WILL I RECEIVE MY PRODUCT?
Everything will be delivered digitally, via the email address you provide at checkout. It should arrive within 5-10 minutes of your purchase. You will then have ONGOING access, even if we're not in an "open, live" enrollment period. Don't see your emails? Be sure to check your promotions, junk, or spam folder because some email providers put notes in there. Then, after opening, be sure to white list the emails.

DO YOU PROVIDE SUPPORT ON WHERE TO BUY HERBS?
Absolutely! I'll explain exactly what to look for in quality, dried bulk herbs and give you some great options! These will be to places I personally buy any bulk herbs I need in my own work with clients and my apothecary.
DO YOU HELP WITH DOSING HERBS AND DILUTING ESSENTIAL OILS CORRECTLY?
Yes! I pride myself on explaining all safety information clearly and accurately. There are dosing charts for herbs for different ages.
HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER DITCH THE DRUGSTORE IS RIGHT FOR ME?
This course IS for you IF:
- The information everywhere is overwhelming to you, and you realize that a LOT of it is NOT safe or trustworthy.
- Creating proven, herbalist-tested recipes is important to you.
- You're tired of second-guessing what you should have on hand for emergencies or situations.
- You want to use natural remedies for your family and avoid mystery ingredients and toxic chemicals as much as possible.
- You're new to the herbal world, or have only been studying herbs for a little while.
- You lack confidence in your herbal choices, and don't know much about medicinal plants (yet).
- You have a bit of herbal knowledge and still want to be able to ask clarifying questions.
- You've taken herbal courses before and been frustrated with the support you haven't received or been pressured to purchase products.
This course is NOT for you IF:
- You've been studying herbalism and aromatherapy for awhile and feel very comfortable making your own herbal teas already.
- You can easily tell the difference between an effective and safe tea and one that isn't.
- You have no questions about creating a personalized formulation
- You're expecting herbal teas to be a miracle cure instead of a support to better health.
WHAT IS THE TOTAL INVESTMENT INCLUDING SUPPLIES?
You can expect to purchase some herbs unless you're already growing or foraging the herbs you'd like to use. These are generally not expensive, and you can decide which ones to purchase. It's actually pretty easy to have a few medicinal herbs on hand and make a variety of herbal tea.
HOW DOES THE STUDENT GROUP WORK? IS IT ON FACEBOOK?
There is no student community for this course. It is self study only. However, the Art and Science of Herbal Teas is an included course inside the Confident Herbalist Tribe!
There's an amazingly active student community there to help you learn herbalism along with over 55 other masterclasses, additional foundational lessons, and more added monthly. There are also hundreds of video replays, and these are searchable with transcripts.
The Tribe is the place to be if you're ready to take your beginning or intermediate herbalism to the next level and love the support and community of other herbalists.
"It's a solid confidence builder..."
Even though I've been in the Confident Herbalist Tribe now for two years, I don't regret taking DTDS. It has enhanced & honed my herbal journey. The recipe books are fantastic & I love that it also covers essential oils as well as herbs. DTDS is so much more than a course, it's hard to explain & translate into words. It's a very personal experience & journey that you go on, when you start learning how to tailor your own home apothecary. It's a solid confidence builder. Our medicine box of over the counter products has been completely transformed 🦋
–Shell Smith, Student
It's JAM-Packed!
“What a great resource for those beginning their herbal journey! And it is jam packed with a ton of valuable information. Heidi has done a fantastic job of making this course easy to follow in a language that isn’t overly complicated. She makes it feel very personable and as though I am learning from a close friend. I highly recommend this excellent course for anyone who wants to learn how to use herbs safely and effectively in their everyday life!”

Always do your own additional research on herbs and essential oils, and choose sources from experienced herbalists and aromatherapists and once again...be sure to discuss medical needs with your doctor. Finally, I do my best to make sure all information is up-to-date and accurate, but as time goes on and more scientific studies reveal new information about medicinal herbs, there is a chance that some information may become outdated.
