"I got tired of smelling like Tiger Balm, Ben Gay, and all the other pain creams. And why am I putting all these chemicals on my skin?"

Kyoshi William “Kilindi” Brown founded Hood Hippie Herbalz LLC on a single guiding principle: true healing begins with intention. His products are designed for individuals seeking natural relief from arthritis, inflammation, soreness, and everyday muscle or joint discomfort, using only pure, all‑natural ingredients that work in harmony with the body. Kilindi’s journey as a healer began not in a classroom, but in the dojo. A lifelong martial artist, he developed a deep understanding of body mechanics, injury, and recovery. Known widely as “Sensei,” he holds advanced black belts in multiple disciplines and has been recognized in numerous Martial Arts Halls of Fame. His personal commitment to wellness is rooted in his own experience with Osgood‑Schlatter disease in both knees, a condition exacerbated by years of intense training. At times, the pain was so severe he required crutches, and while conventional treatments offered temporary relief, they never provided lasting healing. Determined to find a better way, Kilindi immersed himself in the healing arts, earning certifications in Natural Medicine, Holistic Wellness, Acupressure for Pain Management, Reflexology, Holistic Herbalism, and Naturopathic Medicine. He studied herbs that combat inflammation, promote circulation, and support the body’s natural repair processes — knowledge that became the foundation of Hood Hippie Herbalz. Today, his mission is clear: to create intentional, plant‑based remedies that enhance comfort, improve mobility, and support communities, one bottle at a time. Each formula is a product of lived experience, rigorous study, and a genuine passion for helping others live with less pain.
