"Love the fact use are trying to fight the huge corrupt tobacco industry a little bit of realism really gets peoples attention rather then the fabricated tales the tobacco giants feed us on a daily basis but thats the government for you only out to save and make a dollar even if its at the expense of our lives... im a regular Saturday semaphore happy herb shopper and am always greeted with great service and equipment dont stop doing what use are doing 10/10!!"

“I started using bliss tea because I was looking for an alternative to the medication doctors were prescribing me, for what they term depression, anxiety and stress. I found this product to work extremely well for all 3. I started by having 5-10 drops in my tea (coffee, juice. beer) 3-4 times a day and now only take 5-10 drops twice a day. Bliss tea was most effective for me in lowering my anxiety and taking away those anxious feelings like being aware of my heart beating or sinking through my chest, or feelings of excessive brain activity helping me to stay in the moment. Thank you Happy High Herb Company, and I will continue using this great product.”

"I trialled Happy Breast Balm for 6 weeks.  It was a lovely relaxing daily ritual before bed which induced a good night sleep.

The texture and skin tone of my breasts improved in that time.  I had a hard external cyst on my décolletage area which gradually diminished and then disappeared in the time I was using the balm which was a very exciting and pleasing result.   I am impressed with the quality of ingredients in this exceptional product and will recommend it to any woman interested in preventative breast health."

"I've been on the pot for over 10 years & decided to give the harmful stuff away however i was afraid of my ADHD kicking in & HARD. So I tried this product (Damiana) & I RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE trying to give up. It was delivered within a day & it has totally relaxed me enough that I don't need to smoke pot or take 6 little pills to help my ADHD. I would suggest this to anyone who needs to give up the pot. Its cheap & does the job 100%. No stoned affect but a relaxing & satisfying result."

"My partner and I were invited to dinner with some friends on Saturday night and we took some Desire Chocolate Elixir with us to share. Lots of it actually! Over the space of a few hours we each devoured the equivalent of a full 100 ml bottle and the effects were very nice indeed. On the bottle the key words to describe the effects are: excite, arouse and enhance and this sums it up nicely I reckon. We had it with a dash of milk and on ice and it was so nice to sip slowly; kind of like a chocolate version of Baileys. Give it a try!"

"I have been using the Siberian Ginseng spagyric for the past week. It is fantastic for clearing up that afternoon brain foggy feeling, it's a real lift! Heaps healthier than having another cup of black tea, too. "

"Our star of the last few months is [____], a local of Cooly, he wandered into the shop one day out of curiosity. He got to chatting to us about his tobacco addiction and his drinking habits. We sold him damiana and scullcap. He started smoking and drinking both. Turns out he was pretty sensitive to herbs and this combination gave him the desired feeling he was looking for, without the negative effects of cigarettes and alcohol.
7 months later he has tried most every herb in the shop, researched most of them himself and makes his own apple cider vinegar tinctures. He comes in regularly for a chat, and it's been quite amazing to see him shed 20 kilos, and gain enough clarity and confidence in himself to open his own business. It's been a wonderful and inspirational transformation to witness"

-Maria (manager of Coolangattta HHS)

"I have it with a teaspoon of honey, mix it up, and add hot water to make a tea. It pretty much kicks in straight away. I didn't have so much trouble getting to sleep before using it, but I was constantly waking up in the middle of the night and not able to get back to sleep. Not anymore! This way I get to sleep as long as I want. It's changed everything for my girlfriend and I - you know it was hard for her to be with someone who couldn't get enough sleep. It's great!"

"My boyfriend's dog has liver problems, so he started giving his dog Milk Thistle powder mixed in with it's food. OH MY GOD you should see the difference already! It's stopped falling over and looking sad and is like a whole new dog. The vet wanted the dog to have surgery and go on antibiotics but my boyfriend thought he would try this first. And it is already so much better!"

I would just like to take the opportunity to congratulate this organisation on its standpoint on herbal remedies. I've just read the "Happy High Herbs" book guide on natural highs and addictions. And I would like to thankyou for opening my eyes to these possibilities whilst I'm at my young age and can continue to maximise my time on this earth doing what is best for my body and spirit.

- Simon Hamilton

"I am usually hesitant to take any party highs because I am very sensitive to these products and in the past have not had positive experiences. Some friends told me about their positive experiences using the Vibes Extras so I thought I would give them a shot before I went to a gig last Saturday. I took one at about 2 pm and within 10 min I noticed my energy raise nicely. Considering the fact that I was extremely sleep deprived prior to this I was amazed at how much it lifted my energy and much to my surprise, my overall mood. I was half expecting the effects to end rather quickly but it actually kept me going for 4 or 5 hours. There was no ‘come down’ and I slept like a baby that night. I am so happy to have finally found something that agrees with me and makes me feel so good! Bring on the good Vibes!"

"I just wanted to say thank you. Your stores are wonderful, and the staff so awesome and relaxed, happy to help staff. I consider it massively important for peoples such as myself to be informed about both the dangers, and the benefits of certain herbs- Herb lore, not law!"

"My mum has problems with her bowels, the doctors thought it might be cancer, anyway, i bought her some cats claw tea from your shop in Byron Bay and she sent me a message saying "don't know what's in that tea you got me but it's really good for me, stops me from bloating, makes me feel really good, thanks for thinking of me"

I started taking Damiana 2-3 weeks ago and there is a noticeable difference in my mood and general attitude toward life! I've probably tried most chemical "antidepressants" over last 18 years or so and it turns out Damiana is all I needed all along! I'm working hard at spreading the word about Happy Herb shop and the work being done by this wonderful company (though it feels wrong to call you that) ;).

Keep up the good work and hopefully one day the people in government will stop denying herbs to aid the pharmaceutical conglomerates and start promoting the truth!!! Drug lore not drug law! Ignorance is the most dangerous drug out there.. ;)

Ever since gaining a copy of "Happy High Herbs" it has been one of the most informative, fun and thorough books to have crossed my path in a while, if there where more opened minded people such as Ray and his knowledge the world would surely be a better place..

"An expression of gratitude to the lovely lady at the Happy Herb Shop in Joondalup, whom I approached about how I was struggling to achieve a full breath and how I thought it may have been from anxiety and stress. The skullcap worked better than I anticipated, minutes later you actually feel the absence of your anxiety! I also found it very much calmed tension and as a teeth grinder, I noticed I was grinding less and less each time I took the drops. I used skullcap along with one of their lung cleansing herbs and four to five days later my breathing patterns were back to normal." - Ross -

Tried some in tea leaf form and found that they will capsulize in the stores. Love the capsules - had helped with anxiety, depression, PTSD - am now carefully being weaned off pharmaceuticals after feeling so great and positive and energetic. My therapist told me whatever you are doing and taking, keep it up! Fantastic - and I had to call the local store to tell the gals/guys there thank you sooo much for their recommendations. I was in northern Arizona and a Native American was in the Flagstaff store and told me, in addition to the guy working in the store, the benefits he had seen, and again he was able to go off of some meds he was taking for depression, anxiety, and meds he had become dependent on. I told my therapist that I was starting to feel like I had "the old me" back once again, zest for life,etc. Wouldn't really have believed it possible with an herb with my old thinking!

"I am 20yrs old and was put on Fluoxetine when I was about 13... I started on a normal dosage of 20mg a day, and increased my dosage over the years to 50mg a day, I had my medications changed around, and nothing helped... I suffer from Chronic depression/anxiety/paranoia/stress... every day is a struggle... This is a little bit of info on myself so you can get the general idea of what has changed.... While on the Fluoxetine my mood swings had decreased but I was still heavily depressed... A while ago I went into the store as I was looking for something to boost my seretonin, I talked with a lady in there(can not remember her name) and she said she was taking Velvet bean/Mucuna to work her way off of her anti-depressants... I started taking this and stopped taking my medication, It was amazing the amount of difference it made, Not only did my mood swings become less intense, My anxiety also went down, and I was happier. On the medication I was always very level, almost zombie like, with this Velvet bean I have never been better, It doesnt cure all, I am still depressed occasionally and my anxiety/paranoia gets the best of me some times, but I am happier now then I have ever been, I have read a little about it and it is amazing the values of putting this stuff into your body can do... I thank you guys alot, I hope more people try this and get the same result... One very happy customer."

Gotu Kola is one of my favourite herbs as for my condition with epilepsy, it has a profound effect. I was driving the other day and needed to pull over somewhere as I was feeling a bit light headed. I had no idea where I was going to pull over and then saw a bit of grass, pulled over, got out of the car for a breather and there was a patch of gotu kola just next to the car. I picked about 10 leaves, chewed it and felt immediately better. The nervous system seemed to have been cradled and was on my way to work without another issue and it especially relieved any anxiety I get around having this condition in the first place

I've been using the SereniTea you sent as part of your Facebook giveaway - thank you so much! I've been quite stressed lately and SereniTea brings me back down :)

I am impressed by your attitude of responsibility. .how refreshing to hear this these days. .thank you. . i also wanted to compliment you not only on your products which i think are fabulous, but also on my experience at the Santa Cruz store. .the woman who owns the store is so delightful. . she is very knowledgable and super helpful. .i am a repeat customer and intend to revisit the store when i am back in the area. . i highly recommended your company to everyone. . keep it going. .have a happy day!! Sincerely, Fiona

I just wanted to say that I visited your store on Jetty Road, Glenelg and was served by a young man with dreadlocks. He was extremely helpful and provided me with the best customer service I have ever recieved anywhere in my life. I will definately be returning to the store not just for the products but for the exceptional service too! Thank you! TJM

Deborah used Mucuna from our West End shop to help rejuvenate her nervous system.

As a mum of a 19 yr old, and with an insight into drugs from intelligent experience from my own youth, I feel that the product which is popular that Happy Herbs provides gives this generation a much safer and monitored approach to a pastime that they will do anyway. I wish you well with your fight. Thank you for supporting a cleaner way to relieve stress, make people happy, and create a quirky business.

Regards

I am a single mother who has had battles with with all variety of substances mainly due to apparent health and possible mental issues but i have overcome many of them due to natural therapies... I dont know if i will ever be completely well but i cope because i have alternative things i can use... Your happy highs book started a spiral of information that i found actually helped and assisted me in removing a lot of pharmacuticals information from my life in turn helping me feel better just because it meant i didnt require a hand full of tablets for breakfast lunch and dinner... 

I visited a US location, just out of curiosity...and it changed my life! I had been smoking cigarettes for almost a decade, and had tried to quit numerous times over the course of those years with no success. We were just chatting with the young woman at the counter when she started telling me of her husband's success quitting smoking using the mix you guys offer. I bought one of the bags and have not looked back since! My issues the first few times around mainly had to do with feeling sick from quitting, and just the addiction to hand to mouth movement.  With the herbal alternative, I felt significantly less sick in those first few weeks, and was still able to satisfy that hand to mouth addiction. The excruciating headaches I had experienced previously in trying to quit, were barely noticeable. I mixed the herbs with less and less tobacco until I didn't even have the desire to smoke them anymore. I still keep some around in case I have a craving, but I can honestly say I almost never do. (Which was a big problem I experienced with other methods of quitting; since your mix is not just another form of nicotine, I was actually able to kick my addiction, rather than just kick the smoking.)  I have told everyone I know that smokes cigarettes about this, and even bought a friend the same mix that I used. I can say with conviction that I would never have been able to quit without your help HHH! You saved my life!

You guys are everywhere! I was shocked when I saw one in Darwin. Every town needs a Happy High, I say. Some of my most enlightening experiences have come from your shop :-) Thanks for existing!
