About Us
Dr.Tariq Ziad El-Dey
Tariq Ziad El-Dey N.D. is co-owner of Ascension Institute of Botanicals and Co-owner of The Herbal Touch LLC, with his wife Krystal Pittman, located in the Detroit Metro Area, of Michigan. He is a graduate from Alcorn State University, with degrees in Biology, Health Sciences and Physical Education and later went on to Oakland University for his Ed Specialist Degree and the Michigan Institute of Natural Health for his holistic teachings. Tariq's path in herbalism began in 1995 when he started to live holistically instead of living the traditional southern way of his family and friends and when he realized that medical school was antagonistic to his journey in this lifetime. Tariq later became a public school teacher of Science and Health, with 20 years of experience and later taught at The Michigan Institute of Natural Health. From this experience came the idea to create Ascension Institute of Botanicals for those that want to learn the spiritual nature of herbs and healing. Tariq is also a certified Blood Cell Analyst, Master Herbalist, and a Naturopath Doctor, for the past few years. Tariq and his wife are currently working on international accreditation through Davinci College of Holistic Medicine.
Krystal Pittman N.D.
Krystal Pittman N.D. is the Founder and Owner of The Herbal Touch LLC, located in Pontiac, Michigan. Krystal found her passion with herbs at an early age because her mom dealt with so many health issues and she saw the Medical world fail her over and over, so through older family members she learned about the natural ways of healing and what the Native Americans used and she started to incorporate these methods with her mom and they worked! Her and her mom have been using Natural Herbs ever since! Krystal has a Bachelors of Science Degree in Elementary Education, Mathematics, and Social Studies from Ferris State University and is also a Master Herbalist, Blood Cell Analyst, and a Naturopathic Doctor which she received from The Michigan Institute of Natural Health and is continuing her education through the Davinici College of Holistic Medicine in Europe.
