Not long ago, herbal knowledge was commonplace. All of our ancestors, regardless of where they hailed from, likely knew which kitchen medicines could be used to ward off minor ailments such as colds and indigestion. Start learning the plant wisdom that helps keep your body in balance.
Learn what it means to be an herbal tea, and how to brew, source, store, and use herbs safely. Know what to look for (and avoid) when purchasing teas, the difference between infusions & decoctions, and how to know if your herbs are still fresh.
Get a gentle introduction to the theories that form the foundation of herbalism, including thermal natures (hot & cold), flavor energetics (bitter, sour, etc.) & diagnostic principles (such as damp & dry). Concepts are rooted primarily in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but can apply to all herbs and bodies. Information is presented simply and entwined with the featured herb, so you can learn by experience.
Each month will feature a single herb, selected intentionally for the current season and to illustrate a key facet of herbal theory. Learn a bit about its history & origins (from the plant's perspective), how its cultivated, the healing benefits that it possesses and how to make the most of its medicine.
Bring out your inner herbalist with tea blending basics to build your own herbal tea formulations, as well as food, beauty & medicinal recipes for every featured herb.
Tune you into your body's intuitive understanding of plant medicine with tailored prompts that guide your exploration of the plant material and how it pertains to core herbal concepts.
Each issue also includes an optional quick quiz to help solidify key concepts.
