Plant Confidence
If you’ve landed here, you likely have an interest in growing medicinal herbs, using them, or both. Maybe you’re a beginner. We all start there. Maybe you’re a professional. If so, you might have some tips for the rest of us!
Maybe you’re like me, somewhere in between, looking for some company on the way.
Unfortunately, these days the world can be hard to predict. On the one hand, people seem desperate to regain some control, and there is a growing interest in plant medicine. But, on the other hand, it’s kind of scary to offer anything medicinal to anybody without a good insurance policy.
What brought you here?
I can tell you what brought me…
I’ve loved nature and plants for as long as I can remember. When I began to study medicinal herbs seriously, there was SO much information and SO many opinions.
Have you been there? Who’s right? Who’s wrong? How do you decide?
I was also confused by the number of ways to make plant medicine. Many of my classes focused on formulas that took weeks to complete.
What if you need something sooner? How do you anticipate the medicine you’ll need to start months ahead of when you may or may not need it?
Some formularies I studied called for using a lot of plant material. This gets expensive quickly!
I began looking at ways to make herbalism more accessible.
Can you make a high-quality tincture in less than six weeks? Yes.
Is there a way to stock your herb closet without breaking the bank? Sure.
Is this the right place for you?
I think herbal medicine should:
Fit a busy schedule. Six-week tinctures are great but only sometimes practical. So we will look for ways to speed the process up when what you need can’t wait.
Be a process. We’re not going to be perfectionists. We will gain confidence as we practice and gain competence.
Be hands-on. You will find many things to try that are safe and fun.
Be empowering. That’s the essential part for me. You are learning and connecting with your plants in a way that fulfills you.
If this sounds good to you, please join me. We can help each other along the way.
