Herb BIKE
Dublin Herb Bike
The Dublin Herb Bike is a mobile clinic providing free, herbal care and comfort to communities in need around Dublin. We are a collective of herbalists and herb lovers who built this project from the street up, making our medicines as a community, building our kits, and sharing them with folks in need. In addition to our free mobile herb clinic, we also offer regular Plant Rambles and Community Medicine Making Workshops around Dublin.
The Dublin Herb Bike is currently serving at the GPO (General Post Office) on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 8PM alongside Hope in the Darkness Soup Kitchen. We are an alcohol-free clinic, offering a variety of herbal remedies such as glycerite extracts, syrups, teas, capsules, hydrosols, aromatic inhalers and more.
If you have any questions, please be in contact with the collective at [email protected]
Volunteer with Us
We are a Collective
The Dublin Herb Bike is a volunteer run community project. All services and remedies are offered for free. If you would like to get involved as a volunteer, here are the steps.
Steps to Serve
If you are interested in serving with us please introduce yourself!
- Come to either a Plant Ramble or Solidarity Medicine Making Workshop. This gives us a chance to meet you and also offers you the chance to understand more about the ethos of our offerings.
- If you are interested in serving on the Bike as a clinician or in the apothecary, please send us an email at [email protected] so we can share with you more detailed information and our training requirements.
HerbShare Dublin Workshops
We strive for a model of healthcare that is based on solidarity and not charity. Our web of programming is built to spread the knowledge, share the costs, and give us all the opportunity to learn while supporting each other. Our workshops are sliding scale and helps to keep the Herb Bike rolling. We hope you can join us. Workshop and events are listed on the main Herbalista events page.
Medicine Making Workshops
Join us at one of our Solidarity Medicine Making Workshops combining service with learning!
As we are committed to providing an alcohol-free clinic, we focus on creating an array of potent glycerite and vinegar extracts, capsules, tea and powder blends. At these workshops, usually held at the Fumbally Stables, we prepare remedies to stock the Dublin Herb Bike’s apothecary. Your registration fee helps to purchase the supplies needed to create beautiful and healing remedies for the Bike!
Medicinal Plant Rambles
Join us at one of our Medicinal Plant Rambles and discover the remedies which grow all around us!
We will learn to identify many of the wild plants which call Dublin home and how you can incorporate them into your life! Plant Rambles are also a great way to meet other folks who are also interested in foraging, botany, and wild plant medicine.
Funds raised by Rambles go to support the Herb Bike!
Dublin Herb Bike Service Manual
Dublin Herb Bike Service Manual (2023)
The Dublin Herb Bike has been through many iterations over the years, from sit-down clinics and custom compounded remedies to simple HerbCare Stations with HerbCare Packs. We’ve put it all in this version of our Service Manual. We also share additional insights, such as how we organize as a collective.
This manual includes information on:
- Dublin Herb Bike Collective Agreements
- Service Logistics (Choosing a Location and Scheduling)
- Intake Forms and Patient Concerns
- Dispensary Forms and Protocols
- Packing Lists and Medicine Kits
- Sanitation and Safety Concerns
- and loads of other bits ‘n bobs
We hope this manual helps demystify the process and can assist you as you create your community herb project!

Dublin Community Care Listing
Free + Low Cost Dublin Community Care Resources
The answer isn’t always a herb… sometimes what someone needs is a dental appointment, or a meditation session, or acupuncture. Sometimes someone needs a counseling session or just a decent meal! We have begun this listing in hopes of helping folks find the affordable care they need.
The information provided here has been pulled from a variety of sources, such as the web or word of mouth. Please help us to grow this resource! If you have had any experience with these services and would like to suggest modifications to descriptions, or if you can recommend additions to our list, please notify us at [email protected].
Herbs of Dublin
Herban Apothecary
There are wonderful medicinal and edible plants growing all around us, even right here in the Big Smoke. Learning our local plants improves our health, reduces oil consumption AND provides security in knowing that what you need is growing right out your backdoor.
We are in the process of reconstructing our Herbs of Dublin Photo Gallery where we have been documenting all of the lovely medicinal herbs we see growing around town. Check back soon!
Coming Soon…
