Mac Tíre Apothecary & Herbal Clinic

My name is Tiarnan O’ Sullivan. I qualified as a medical herbalist in 2021 with the Plant Medicine School in Hollyfort, following 5 years of study during which I worked with some of the most experienced herbalists in the UK & Ireland. I now assist the Plant Medicine School as a student mentor for their apprenticeship programme.

I set up Mac Tíre Apothecary & Herbal Clinic in 2021, a herbal medicine business rooted in a passion for wellness, medicine and nature. I am also involved in several projects for growing medicinal and aromatic plants in Ireland, and am an ordained Fear Feasa following six years of apprenticeship under Alex Duffy and Nikki Darrell.

I have been involved in large scale medicinal herb growing projects (Five Oaks Nursery in West Cork and Plant Preparations Ltd. in Hollyfort, Wexford) and several smaller community projects. I believe that growing and spending time with the herbs is as important a medicine as taking them.

The heart of my practice is an absolute faith and trust in nature as the source of our deepest medicine, a faith which is underpinned by both a robust body of scientific research and thousands of years of traditional knowledge being safeguarded and passed down through the generations.
