HWB recognizes that many global citizens lack access to health and wellness

due to economic and other barriers. HWB firmly believes that health is a human

right, not a privilege.

HWB organizing and volunteer efforts focus on alternative health and wellness

solutions, through education, empowerment and advocacy projects.

HWB is a cross cultural health and wellness organization that creates intercultural

exchanges and takes actions via national, regional and project-based chapters

around the world, including Borderless Medicine Programs.

HWB believes in the protection and preservation of indigenous herbs and

traditional healers, including autonomy and intellectual property rights that

honor and respect the wisdom of both traditional plants and healers.

HWB educates about growing and eating of traditional local healthful natural

foods and herbs; the relearning and recollecting of everyday traditional cultural

healthful lifestyles.

HWB supports equitable, sustainable, fair trade practices involving herbs and

botanical products, including the promotion of locavore diets and botanicals.

HWB embraces true empowerment models, encouraging local people to utilize

their own unique community resources and create access health and wellness

clinics.

HWB assists herbalists and healers with continuous training and education.

HWB is run by volunteer services, monetary and in-kind donations of its chapter

members.
