About Jillian Bar-av

Jillian Bar-av is a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalists Guild, a Licensed Dietary Nutritionist in the state of Maryland, and a clinical faculty member at Notre Dame of Maryland University (formerly Maryland University of Integrative Health). With over two decades of experience in the field of herbal medicine, Jillian has helped countless individuals transform their lives through holistic health practices.

Jillian's journey with herbal medicine began in the 1990s, when she was active in forest protection work in the Ozark mountains. During this time, she developed a deep appreciation for plants such as black cohosh, goldenseal, ginseng, bloodroot, and wild yam, which not only indicated a healthy ecosystem but also possessed medicinal properties. She formalized her herbal education at the California School of Herbal Studies and later earned her Master of Science Degree in Herbal Medicine from Maryland University of Integrative Health.

Over the years, Jillian has worked with clients with a wide range of health issues. However, she has found a special affinity for working with individuals diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis (IC) and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). These conditions have a special place in her heart, and she has dedicated herself to providing comprehensive holistic support to those affected by these complex health issues.

Conditions We Specialize In

At Greenspring Herbs, we specialize in supporting individuals with complex urinary tract conditions, particularly Interstitial Cystitis (IC), and hormonal imbalances, such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). We understand the challenges associated with these conditions and are committed to providing holistic support to help you improve your quality of life.

Interstital Cystitis (IC)

Interstitial Cystitis is a chronic condition characterized by recurring pain or discomfort in the pelvic area, accompanied by frequent or painful urination. The exact cause of IC is unknown, and conventional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms rather than addressing the underlying issues. At Greenspring Herbs, we take a holistic approach to supporting individuals with IC, focusing on dietary changes, stress management, and the use of herbal remedies to promote healing and reduce symptoms.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. Common symptoms include irregular menstrual cycles, weight gain, and acne. PCOS can also increase the risk of developing other health issues, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. At Greenspring Herbs, we work with individuals diagnosed with PCOS to develop a personalized health plan that addresses their specific needs and promotes overall wellness.
