What is Herbalism?
Herbalism, often referred to as herbal medicine, plant medicine or botanical medicine, is an ancient practice that revolves around the utilization of plants for medicinal and therapeutic purposes to promote health and well-being. It is rooted in the belief that nature provides a wide array of plants with healing properties that can be harnessed to support the body's innate ability to heal itself.
A Glimpse into History
Throughout history, various cultures worldwide have harnessed the power of herbs to address ailments, promote well-being, and establish a deep connection with nature. The roots of herbalism stretch back to our ancestors who recognized the innate healing properties of plants. From traditional Chinese medicine to Ayurveda in India, and the practices of Native American shamans, herbalism has played an integral role and been influenced by diverse cultural systems. Today, we are fortunate to inherit this treasure trove of wisdom, some of which will be shared here.
