Herboristerie Moderne
Herboristerie Moderne can be found next to the church of Notre-Dame de Bon Secours (Our Lady of Consolation in English) in the vibrant Saint Jacques district. Coincidence? Certainly not, because this place is all about consolation. Maité, the kind shopkeeper, will guide you through her impressive range of (herbal) tea varieties, fragrant spices, essential oils, incense, organic cosmetic products, aromatic and medicinal herbs, you name it. Fun fact: This house was already a herbalist shop back in 1905.

Herboristerie Sanjivani
Herboristerie Sanjivani, close to Place Dailly in Schaerbeek, is a traditional store that specialises in Ayurveda. That’s a lot of complicated words for one sentence, but don’t worry.

This fascinating place is also perfect if you’re looking for a state-of-the-art therapeutic massage.

Desmecht
Desmecht is a Brussels herbalist institution. For three generations, this family business located on Place Saint Catherine has prided itself on helping locals and visitors with plants. Hugo Desmecht, the son of the founder, was apparently the first Belgian herbalist. However, the years in which he and his father sold homemade potions in old water bottles are well behind us. Today, the store has a team of certified herbalists and aroma and nutritional therapists on hand to offer you a tailor-made natural solution.
