The Herbalist Is In: Custom Remedies Available

Herbalism is the study of botany and the use of plants intended for medicinal purposes. Plants have been the basis of medical treatments throughout human history, and such traditional medicines are still widely practiced today. Herbalists are practitioners of herbal medicine that have been around since the dawn of time, yet the art has faded out of the mainstream, replaced by fancy white jackets and titles and pharmaceutical drugs, many of which cause more harm and side effects than the intended benefit. These changes have ushered in a disconnect between people and the natural world around us. We’ve become strangers, aliens, to the world that we came from, which has caused a ripple of cause and effect throughout our culture. Without the herbalist, humans would not have survived to evolve as they have. And without the herbalist, the knowledge of the natural world may be forever lost.

“Nature itself is the best physician.”
–Hippocrates

​Herbal medicine comes in many forms: Topical (like a salve, balm or lotion), Tincture, Tea, Capsule, Poultice, among other approaches. The difference between herbal medicine and modern pharmaceuticals is in its speed and strength. Where pharmaceuticals may work faster and in some cases can be stronger than herbal medicines, they often come with a list of side effects that can be worse than the original ailment. Herbal medicine isn’t an instant solution so patience is important, though results tend to be gentler and without side effects, and can work differently for everyone.
