I'm Bo Lemm, herbalist, Reiki Master, Barefoot Healer and founder of Bo-tanics Aroma-Herbary, my little sanctuary of natural wellness on Portugal's Atlantic coast.
I've been working with plants and energy for over twenty years, and I still find it all as fascinating as I did at the start. My training spans from Herbal Medicine to Reiki, and everything I offer, whether it's a product, a consultation or an ebook, is made with real thought and real care.
Bo-tanics exists to make the healing power of nature a little more accessible, whatever that looks like for you.
Nice to meet you

My methods
P R A C T I C E
Herbalism
As a qualified Herbal Medicine Consultant, I work with the whole person, not just the symptom. Drawing on traditional plant knowledge and modern understanding, I build programmes that genuinely fit your life. Herbs offer a gentle, intelligent way back to balance.
Reiki
Reiki works with the energy flowing through your body, clearing blockages and restoring balance. I practise the Usui Shiki Ryoho method, offering in-person and distance treatments, often with chakra balancing, crystal healing and sound therapy woven in. I also offer Reiki training for those who want to carry this practice forward themselves.
Aromatherapy
Scent is one of the fastest routes to the nervous system. I work with pure essential oils to support emotional balance and overall wellbeing. Aromatherapy runs through much of what I do, from the aura mists I make by hand to the oils I recommend within a herbal programme.
Flower Essences
Flower essences work subtly and deeply, addressing the emotional patterns that often sit beneath physical symptoms. I use Bach Flower Remedies and create bespoke blends tailored to what's showing up for you. Gentle enough for anyone, including children and animals.
Crystal Therapy
Crystals carry their own distinct frequency, and when placed with intention, they can help shift stagnant energy, calm an overactive system or amplify what's already moving in the right direction. I use crystal therapy as part of my energy work, both within Reiki sessions and as a standalone layer in a healing programme.
Colour Therapy
Colour speaks to us long before words do. In a colour therapy session, I begin by seeing which colours you naturally resonate with, then test each chakra to find where colour is lacking or out of balance. From there, we work to restore what's missing, through colour itself, and through the foods, surroundings and practices that carry it. It's a quiet, revealing way of listening to what the body is asking for.
Moon Cycle Work
Sound Therapy
Sound reaches the body before the mind has time to resist it. Specific frequencies can settle the nervous system, dissolve held tension and create a deep stillness. I weave sound into my practice as a gentle but powerful companion to my other therapies.
Nature moves in rhythms, and so do we. I time much of my work with the lunar cycle, from preparing remedies to planning the stages of a healing programme. Working with the moon rather than against it brings a natural pacing to the process, one that the body seems to recognise.
