What is The Wild Sage?

The Wild Sage guides your natural health journey, connecting you to expert practitioners and offering over 100 unique learning modules for holistic well-being.

What is a Medical Herbalist?

A Medical Herbalist is a clinically trained practitioner who uses plant-based medicines to support health and treat illness. MNIMH-registered herbalists like Garreth Falls have completed a full degree-level qualification in herbal medicine and are bound by a professional code of ethics. They take a holistic approach, treating the whole person rather than just individual symptoms.

What conditions can herbal medicine help with?

Herbal medicine can support a wide range of conditions including digestive issues (IBS, bloating, reflux), hormonal imbalances (PMS, menopause, thyroid), stress and anxiety, sleep disorders, skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, acne), immune system support, respiratory conditions, cardiovascular health, and chronic fatigue. Garreth Falls takes a thorough case history to determine the most appropriate herbal protocol for each individual.

How does a herbal consultation work at The Wild Sage?

An initial consultation with Garreth Falls typically lasts 60 minutes and can take place in-person at 14 Main Street, Greyabbey, Co. Down, or via video or phone call. Garreth will take a detailed health history covering your symptoms, medical history, diet, lifestyle, and emotional wellbeing. Following the consultation, you will receive a personalised herbal prescription, dietary advice, and lifestyle recommendations tailored specifically to you.

Are herbal medicines safe to use alongside prescription medications?

Some herbal medicines can interact with pharmaceutical drugs, which is why it is important to consult with a qualified Medical Herbalist before starting any herbal treatment. Garreth Falls is trained to assess herb-drug interactions and will always review your current medications as part of the consultation process to ensure your safety.

Does The Wild Sage offer online consultations?

Yes. The Wild Sage offers herbal consultations via video call and phone as well as in-person at our clinic in Greyabbey, Co. Down. Online consultations are available to clients throughout the UK and Ireland.

What herbal products does The Wild Sage sell?

The Wild Sage sells a range of handcrafted herbal products including: herbal tinctures (single herbs and Garreth's own formulations), organic herbal teas, dried medicinal herbs, tallow skincare (facial balm, body cream, lip care), herbal supplements, essential oils, syrups and infused oils, and scented candles. All products are ethically sourced and many are made in-house.

What is tallow skincare and why does The Wild Sage use it?

Tallow skincare uses rendered beef fat (typically grass-fed) as a base ingredient. It is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, and its fatty acid profile closely mirrors human skin sebum, making it highly compatible and nourishing. The Wild Sage produces a range of tallow-based skincare products in-house, including facial balm and body cream, using natural botanical ingredients. These products are particularly well suited to dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin.

Northern Ireland's Consultant Medical Herbalist

The Wild Sage is a clinical herbal medicine practice led by Garreth Falls, an MNIMH-registered Consultant Medical Herbalist based in Greyabbey, Co. Down. Northern Ireland has only a small number of professionally registered herbalists, and Garreth is one of just two who also teach herbal medicine at degree level while running a working apothecary alongside clinical practice — a combination that brings unusual depth to every consultation.

Whether you're dealing with digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, chronic stress, skin conditions, sleep problems, or immune challenges, herbal medicine takes a whole-person approach — addressing root causes rather than suppressing symptoms. Consultations are available in-person in Greyabbey, or via video and phone to clients across the UK and Ireland.

Alongside consultations, The Wild Sage offers an extensive range of handcrafted herbal tinctures, organic teas, tallow skincare, dried herbs, and supplements — all ethically sourced and many prepared in-house.
