If you value natural remedies and herbs, their availability, and the freedom to use them, please stay informed and take action! Heath Canada approves vapes and all kind of harmful substances 🤯, yet they are trying to take away healthful, natural options for citizens! 🌿❌
Something is happening right now at the federal level that every herbalist in Canada — and everyone who relies on herbal medicine — needs to know about.
Health Canada's Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate (NNHPD) has released two proposed policy documents: one on Natural Health Product Compounding, and one on Raw Materials. These policies will define what herbal practitioners are legally permitted to do in their dispensaries — including how we prepare, blend, and dispense remedies for our clients.
The Alberta Herbalists Association (AHA), alongside the Canadian Council of Herbalist Associations (CCHA), has reviewed these proposed policies carefully. We have serious concerns.
Over the next few days, we're going to break down exactly what's being proposed, why it matters, and what you can do before the public comment deadline of July 12, 2026.
This is not a drill. Stay with us. 🌿
