SASTIMOS - GOOD HEALTH!
Sastimos means Good Health in Romani language
Sastimos Holistic Health provides small-batch, sustainably sourced herbal remedies, holistic consultations, mentorship, and classes.
Sastimos Holistic Health centers people, power, and culture in health conversations, embracing the resilience of "invasive" medicinal plants and the enduring strength of the human spirit. Like Rromani peoples, who exemplify humanity’s universal capacity to thrive despite harsh conditions, these plants persist with little support. Their resilience inspires practices that foster collective well-being and offer solutions for navigating climate challenges, grounding health in the interconnected stories of people, power, and culture.
Rromani people, originally from Northern India, form a resilient diasporic nation, organized by tribe and clan, thriving across nearly every continent without ever having a state or country of their own.
Ayurveda, an indigenous Indian healing system and a heritage medicine for Rroma people, predates and directly influenced Rromani medicine, much like Chinese Traditional Medicine. Jennileen, a Rromani woman, was not trained in Rromani healing and does not practice it professionally, but her cultural identity deeply informs her work as an Ayurvedic practitioner and herbalist.
