The Mille Feuilles herbalist: your herbalist in Villefranche sur Saône

In this new "favorite" article, we decided to find out a little more about the new herbalist located in Villefranche sur Saône: L'Herboristerie des Mille feuilles.

Herbalism: the birth of the project

Who is behind the project and how did you come up with the idea of creating a herbalist's shop in Villefranche sur Saône?

Véronique Roux, an energy and Chinese medicine therapist in Bagnols and Theizé, regretted not having a place to direct her patients to find quality plants and derived products.

After deciding to create this place, she turned to the Lyon School of Medicinal Plants (ELPM) to surround herself with two Herbalists: Jennifer Néel and Coraline Taron, trained in the uses and properties of medicinal plants in their various forms.

The Thousand Leaves Herbalist's Shop on a daily basis

How does your store work?

Our store is a place of life, open to everyone.

It is a herbalist offering dried plants in bulk or in mixtures for infusions, but also food supplements ( Argalys Essentiels vitamins and minerals , propolis, plants in capsules, syrups, etc.), essential oils, hydrosols (floral waters), vegetable oils and macerates, gemmotherapy (treatment using plant buds), Bach flowers and floral compounds, hydro-alcoholic plant extracts as well as books and accessories (teapots, cups, essential oil diffusers, candles, stone bracelets, etc.)

We also like to highlight small producers in our region:

• Elixirlab (St Etienne des Oullières) with its hydrosols and oily macerates
• Vital Spirulina with its Omegasio (mixture of seeds, sea salt and spirulina) and its spirulina chocolate
• Elise soap factory in the Monts du Lyonnais: soaps and solid shampoo
• Manolia Cosmetics: quality cosmetics, candles and balms produced in Villefranche
• Two drinks: kombucha (Genay) and Antidote (St Etienne des Oullières) which is a sparkling apple/grape with an infusion of plants.

You can also find all the products in our online herbalist shop !

A herbalist but also a place for exchange (bar, workshops, conferences)

Do you offer other services?

It is also a place for exchange and sharing with a herbal tea bar to settle in and discover one of the three herbal teas of the moment, consult the monthly magazine Plantes & santé, browse the works in consultation, exchange with us, meet...

We also offer, in our workshop room, to follow a conference, a workshop led by quality speakers , on various themes:

• Conference on the discovery of hydrolats or gemmotherapy,
• Conference on health throughout the seasons or on managing emotions using Bach flowers
• Manufacturing workshops: a balm, a herbal tea, a stick with essential oils.

As soon as the good weather returns, we will also have botanical outings for adults and children.

Currently, our herbal tea bar and workshop room are closed, so we are offering video conferences (on Zoom) with passionate and exciting speakers.

You can also book by phone or in store: Do not hesitate to contact us by phone for special requests, to order products not listed, to find out more about our workshops, etc.
