Herbalism
Herbalism, as the use of Medicinal Plants is also known, is the first recorded system of medicine and the basis of all other forms. It is the study of plants: their energy, flavors, patterns, affinities, and actions. It is the study of the body: its energy, systems, patterns, afflictions and processes. And it is the art of intertwining these wisdoms with intention and intuition to help bodies heal themselves, balance and rebalance patterns of disharmony, with the support of plants and their practical magic.
A herbalist is a professional caretaker who connects people with plants, who sees them as whole individuals regardless of what disease or condition they have, who strengthens the innate healing power of others through herbal preparations, diet, and lifestyle. A herbalist is someone who dedicates their life to working in some way with medicinal plants: indigenous healers, scientists, naturopaths, holistic practitioners, researchers, writers, herbal pharmacists, drug makers, wild crafters, seed savers, and farmers, among others.
To implement herbal medicine, it must be taken as something serious and professional. Start slowly with very common and innocuous herbs and flowers that can be professionally integrated into treatments such as infusions, scrubs and bath salts; or bundles of dry herbs to burn and do energy cleansing.
Remember that when it comes to herbalism, a herb refers to any plant or part of a plant (seed, bark, root, stem, heartwood, leaf, flower, pistil, etc., moss, lichen, algae, nectar, resin, etc. that offers known medicinal benefit and is used for this purpose.
