The Story of Ancient Remedies

A Movement Rooted in Healing and Knowledge

At Ancient Remedies, we believe that everyone deserves access to the healing power of nature—not just those who happen to stumble upon it. We exist to bring time-tested herbal wisdom, backed by science, into the hands of everyday people who want to take control of their health.


Our journey began with Shanon Greef, a South African herbalist whose personal health crisis reshaped her view of medicine forever.

Meet Shanon Greef

The Herbalist Behind Ancient Remedies

For years, Shanon ran a no-cost herbal clinic in Johannesburg, offering remedies and guidance to anyone in need. But she faced one problem—she could only help so many people.


Her journey into herbalism wasn’t just a career choice—it was a calling. As a young mother, she received a shocking cancer misdiagnosis that nearly cost her a limb. Doctors gave her six months to live, and aggressive surgery was scheduled. But when the results came back, they were wrong.


That experience changed everything. Instead of blindly trusting conventional medicine, she dedicated her life to understanding how the body heals itself. She went on to become an internationally recognized herbalist, helping thousands of people treat the root cause of disease—naturally.


But as demand for her guidance grew, it became clear—one clinic wasn’t enough. People everywhere needed this knowledge.

Why Ancient Remedies Was Created

Shanon partnered with Ancient Remedies to bring practical, science-backed natural healing to the world. What started as a small herbal clinic in Johannesburg became a global movement—a way for people to reconnect with nature’s medicine and take charge of their health.
