Meet the Owner

Hello! My name is Gretta and I'm the owner of G's Herbal Essence. For my first blog post, I want to share a little bit about myself and the company. It's important to give my customers an insight into who I am, what the company stands for, and what they can expect from our future content. I’m just a country woman who’s passionate about embracing the beauty of life and all that our wonderful world has to offer. While I never had the chance to meet my great-grandmother, who was known in our community as the herbal healer, midwife, and go-to source for cures, I always felt a deep connection to nature—especially herbs and plants. This connection blossomed over time, and what started as a love for incorporating plants into my cooking soon expanded to sipping on natural teas.

Throughout my life, I’ve traveled and lived in many places, from Atlanta, GA and Raleigh, NC to Washington, D.C., upstate South Carolina, Jamaica, and even Africa. Each stop taught me something new about the world and its healing traditions. But eventually, I found myself back in South Carolina, caring for my beloved grandparents until their passing. Health has always been a challenge for me, and it’s been a constant journey. After hearing my doctor say, "It’s just you, and you’ll need to take this medication for the rest of your life," I knew I couldn’t accept that. I’m forever grateful for the doctors who helped me in those critical moments, but I wasn’t willing to rely on medication alone, especially after seeing its side effects.

That’s when I began researching natural remedies—herbal teas and juicing fresh fruits and vegetables. As I started feeling better, friends and family noticed the difference and wanted to try my teas and juices. One thing I learned quickly was that when people love something that’s free and beneficial, they’ll keep coming back! As demand grew, so did my passion. I found myself making bigger batches, and the results were clear: people were feeling better, and their doctors noticed the improvements too. I was invited to speak at a women’s event to talk about the benefits of my teas and juices, and it was there that G’s Herbal Essence, LLC was born. I was even asked by one of my doctors, “What are you doing differently?” When I shared my herbal routine, she was thrilled and said, “Let’s keep you on your medicine, but only as needed.” Over the next few months, I went from taking ten pills a day to just two! That’s when I decided to share my passion more widely.

Since then, I’ve dived deep into studying herbs, plants, fruits, and vegetables, learning all I can to help others along their holistic health journeys. I truly believe that nature has provided us with everything our bodies need to heal and restore. With faith, patience, and an open mind, we can move beyond quick fixes and synthetic medications to nourish and heal ourselves. God has gifted me with the ability to help others, and I’m grateful to be on this journey with you.

I hope G’s Herbal Essence products inspire you to embrace healthy living and enjoy a life filled with vitality and wellness. Remember, God's grace is sufficient. Let’s take the best care of ourselves as we continue this beautiful journey of life.

Enjoy and thrive with G’s Herbal Essence!
