Meet your herbalist

My name is Cynnamon and I am a 5th Generation Functional Herbalist. 

My grandmother’s garden was always my childhood happy place. I believe it was her sprawling gardens of herbs, vegetables, and medicinal flowers that first ignited my passion for herbalism.  

The practice of Functional Herbalism has been passed from mother to daughter in my family for generations. Traditionally, the woman in my family also tended to seek out careers in the medical field as nurses, medical assistants, or doctors. Their knowledge was carefully recorded, shared, and practiced throughout the years. Many of my ancestor’s recipes have been modernized and are offered in our online store.

Having a natural head for science I obtained a technical degree in Plastic Technologies; This course of study focused on chemistry (chemical and molecular compounds and structures) and allowed me to work as an engineer.  Later in life, after becoming a mother myself, I found myself reaching out to my holistic roots.  I began concerning myself more with the ingredients and side effects of the commercial products we were using. I began making, using, and sharing more than just the normal few staple herbal preparations I kept on hand.

So many of my friends enjoyed my recipes that they began requesting and paying me to make my herbal preparations for them to use regularly or give as gifts. This led me to begin my small business, Cynfully Simple Blends (CS Blends).

I wanted a more formal education before I got started, I attended and obtained several certificates from The Herbal Academy. I choose courses focused on building the knowledge and skills needed to run an herbal business. These courses included:  Entrepreneur Herbalist, Botanical Skin Care, Master Herbal Formulations, Emulsifiers & Preservation, Holistic Cancer Care, and Pet Care Herbalism.

CS Blends is my pride and joy! I am extremely passionate about spreading my herbal knowledge to anyone willing to listen to me. I built this small business out of a desire to change the life of others and show them there is a way to break free from daily use of synthetic and toxic chemicals. It is my firm belief that there often is a more effective and natural way to treat skin and body ailments.

It is my dream to share my herbal preparations and knowledge to help inspire others to change by turning back to nature! So, they are able to regain control over their personal well-being and are able to put their health and happiness into their own hands.

Every product available here was formulated and handcrafted by me.

Thank you so much for supporting my small business and dream
