How Erbology Turns Nature’s Rituals into Modern Medicine
In this third episode of the Farmatuur Podcast, we dive into the world of Erbology together with co-founder Irina.
Irina takes us back to her childhood in Moldova, where summers were spent in her grandmother’s garden, a place filled with herbs drying on newspapers, homemade tinctures and the quiet wisdom of plants. That early connection with nature eventually became the foundation of Erbology, a brand dedicated to offering natural, functional foods as a true alternative to synthetic supplements.
We explore the very first Erbology product, sea buckthorn, and talk about omega-7, vitamin C, the importance of organic sourcing and why working directly with farmers matters. Irina explains how powders can retain their full benefits, what proper drying techniques look like, and why Erbology is so meticulous about quality from berry to bottle.
We also go deep into the M40+ and W40+ blends with shatavari and ashwagandha, the pitfalls of trendy “everything-in-one” blends, and why Erbology deliberately chooses a less-but-better approach when it comes to adaptogens and medicinal mushrooms.
You’ll hear about listening to your body, working in cycles, understanding root causes instead of masking symptoms, and how plants can become part of a holistic, conscious lifestyle.
Irina closes by sharing one of her personal rituals, her nighttime skincare secret.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature, and rediscover the gentle yet powerful intelligence of plants. A true love affair with nature. 🌿✨
