I’m a fan of Talal’s upfront and clear advice as well as enthusiasm for health and natural therapies. I’ve enjoyed a stress free feed of down to earth information that is offered in a realistic and non pushy manner. 👌

  I cannot even express my gratitude enough about my experience with The Urban Apothecary.

My mother has been suffering with chronic lung infections that allopathic medicine has failed to adequately treat and diagnose for nearly 15 years. No treatments have worked. As soon as the protocol was received the natural medicines that The Urban Apothecary provided, her usually debilitating infection cleared right up.

I myself was suffering from a sudden bout of terribly painful mastitis, and even breathing and moving was causing severe pain and one dose of a tincture, and one cup of tea from The Urban Apothecary cleared it right up within 30 mins, I felt great again.

No negative side effects. Excellent results. Amazing professional service.

10000% recommend.

  I’ve had the pleasure of going on a Herb Walk with Talal through High Park and I’ve never felt more comforted by someone’s knowledge like this before. I’ve very recently become interested in herbalism and coming across Talal was in perfect alignment. Talal was so receptive to our questions, and took his time going through these individual plants with us. Going through the park with him, it’s very clear that he knows exactly what he’s talking about, through his many years of full time practise. I recommend that anyone who wants to learn more about this realm go directly to Talal for your needs and inquiries!

  I've heard Talal described as a "fountain of knowledge", and I've found it to be so true. My health is quite complex: Ehlers-Danlos, endometriosis, MCAS, narcolepsy, bipolar, gastroparesis, this list goes on ... I came in barely eating, barely walking, hell, barely breathing.

Talal took my hard-to-pinpoint situation urgently and with care, offering immediate, comprehensive treatment with short and long term goals. In 3 days, I had a chronic infection clear up! With the help of superior quality tinctures and teas, and endless patience for my million questions, I am getting so much better.

It's been about two weeks or so since I've seen Talal, and I've already doubled the amount of foods I can tolerate! My mood is stabilizing, my sleep is restoring ... I'm healing, not just improving.

If you have a highly unusual, chronic case, and if you're ULTRA sensitive like me, I especially recommend coming here. Sometimes it's necessary to play with dosages and combinations, and Talal really understands and respects that.

Thank you to The Urban Apothecary for giving me strength, and thank you for giving me hope.

  Talal is warm, friendly and knowledgeable on his hand made herbal remedies and products. He is a pleasure to deal with and the quality of his oils are superb! He is also a talented herbalist and loves the art of medicine making

  Very informative plant walk & beautiful park location (worth seeing and you could easily spend an few more hours). i attended in August and enjoyed it. I picked up some pointers and already digging into nettle tea & sauteed dandelion greens. Plants are life.

I had the pleasure of attending a herbal medicine tasting that used tinctures from this place and I was delighted! So much beautiful information that my mind and body just soaked up! I can't wait to build my own collection. Keep it up!

  Talal is one of the good guys. His knowledge base in healing arts is epic. We are so lucky to have him in Ontario !

  Amazing customer's service, always prompt and you can tell he ACTUALLY cares about his client's well being. Always thoroughly impressed with the knowledge that is shared, and always walk away feeling better equipped to deal with whatever issue I have on hand.

Ranging from water kefir grains, to herbal blends, to teas...this place has you covered.

  Talal is a fountain of knowledge and an exceptional herbalist. He is on an endless quest to source the best available, actively involved in educating at all levels and areas with the herbalist field.
This is not an occupation for Talal but a calling. He is caring, supportive and encouraging.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and dealing with Talal and have no hesitation in referring him.
It is a relief to have found this rare individual to whom you can trust in placing your health in his care.
Thank you Talal for all you do!

  An exemplary and brilliant herbalist, Talal really knows his stuff. His varied background of studies provide a broad spectrum of healing knowledge. You can trust that he'll do well by you.

  My favourite thing about The Urban Apothecary(TUA) is that everything is sustainably sourced! I have purchased novelty items from them not normally found in stores, without the worry of supporting ecocide or slavery. Quite the opposite, in fact, TUA searches out those sources which support humanitarian and environmental efforts. This medical herbalist can be trusted to provide you with the most ethical service and products!

  The Urban Apothecary has helped heal my gut and got me back to feeling truly myself again. Taking specialized tincture and tea for my conditions helped me greatly!

If you are struggling with your health and well-being I highly recommend seeking help from Talal! He is so knowledgeable and a true healer!

  If you are looking for an herbalist to help you heal deeply at a physical, emotional and spiritual level – Talal is your herbalist. I am deeply grateful for his expertise, his kindness and compassion. He truly looks at the whole person and understands his client.

It is only after working with Talal that I came to the realization how much anxiety, depression and trauma was affecting my physical health (and vice versa). Through herbal medicine and lifestyle changes (nutrition, exercise, meditation and various healing methods) there has been so much change!

The herbs helped me in physical ways – better sleep, improved digestion, gut health and skin, more physical energy, and reduced pain.

Mentally and cognitively it helped with lifting brain fog, improving my attention and memory.

Even more powerful for me was the emotional healing and clearing of past trauma. Through herbs I was able to feel emotions that were deeply buried and was supported to gently release them.

Thanks to Talal - I feel I am returning to who I was 10 plus years ago – a happier, funnier, more expressive and lighter Avdeep. I am returning to enjoying things in life – that I never realized I had stopped enjoying. I am returning to doing day-to-day tasks in the ways I did them years ago.

I am standing up for myself and speaking up more. I am more aware of my feelings. I have more of an open heart.

The changes I have experienced through herbs have been like none other – some obvious, some subtle, some immediate, some gradual – yet all so powerful. They have changed my life. They have given me back my life. They have given ME back.

I am super grateful to you, Talal!

  Unfortunately I was dealing with some issues while abroad and unable to purchase because of restrictions due to international mail. Talal was kind enough to answer some of my questions. This was very much appreciated! Highly recommend!

  Talal is one of the most knowledgeable yet humble health practitioner I know and having been on a journey towards better health for years, I've met quite a lot of people.
He listens to you and your issue wholeheartedly and holistically, which not only makes his diagnosis more precise and his solutions more effective but also makes you feel listened to and cared for. This attitude is unfortunately lacking in so many other health practitioners that it is a delight to finally have found someone like that.

  I was suffering for two years with digestion, liver and acidity issues and exhausted all avenues. Talal took 1.5 initial assessment and came back with a plan. He is thorough in determining the root causes of aliments. The tinctures and herbal teas he prepared for me have healed all my issues and I’m almost at the end of my treatment. I cannot say enough about his professionalism, care and quality of remedies prepared especially for my aliments. I’m so grateful to have found him.

  Talal is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about what he does. His enthusiasm is engaging and his care is genuine. I really enjoy learning things from him. I'm glad he is located in the G.T.A.

So grateful for his expertise, it will definitely help me further my ideas! Not only that but I think I have found a new curiosity for medicinal herbs.Thanks again:)

4. Do I recommend Urban Apothecary?! Absolutely, unquestionably, unequivocally!!!

  After having several unexplained health issues and nearly trying everything else from expensive integrative medicine to naturopath, I decided to take it back to nature and give Urban Apothecary a try. From the very beginning of my treatment Talal has had an ethical energy in his approach. He is very knowledgeable and precise in his diagnostic techniques. It is clear that he is a lifelong learner, who is very well versed in a diverse healing approach. I walked into his office only being able to tolerate 5 foods without reactions, thanks to Talal's expertise and tinctures I can finally have a rainbow of healthy variety in my diet. It has been a life altering journey for me to discover the power of his tinctures and working with Talal's healing intuition and suggestions.

  listened to virtual talk and I was informed of many islamic herbal medicines took away knowledge.

  Talal seems so knowledgeable. He does his homework!

  I have received my order from Canada to the U.S. and had no problems. I want to give a SHOUT OUT to my Hommie/Holistic Guru T! You ROCK MAN! You take extra care of everything just to get it all right and I can't wait to get off all the pills and return to your clean care. I take 8 meds a day now. Some 3x's a day so, The Urban Apothecary is DEFINITELY the way to go. I can't wait! <3 Much Love! *PEACE*

  There's other herbalists out there, sure. For me, there is only The Urban Apothecary!
