Herb Glossary

A compendium of our ingredients and their botanical names.

Our procurement team work incredibly hard to ensure the ingredients we use in our blends are the highest quality available.

Every single Hilton Herbs formulation has been expertly crafted, using very specific parts of each plant. For example, we only ever use the seeds of a Milk Thistle - they're the only part of the plant that have the correct potency for horses.
