Everyday at Cheryl’s Herbs we serve complimentary herbal tea in our store. We are frequently asked questions about what herbs to take for certain conditions. We are not doctors and cannot advise customers in this way but we do know about herbs. We show customers books on the topic they are asking about and tell them what other people have used in the same situation or what we personally have tried or would use in their situation. We try to help them learn to make their own educated decision.   We always diffuse essential oils into the air of our cheery and bright shop. One of the greatest pleasures for us is to watch the reaction of people as they walk through the door and get their first whiff of the deliciously fragranced air. Many people comment "I feel so good when I come here!". That makes our day.   Cheryl Hoard, owner of Cheryl's Herbs is internationally recognized as a national leader in elevating the standards of Aromatherapy use and education.
