Working with the Whole Plant

As you begin your herbal exploration, you’ll notice that there are a lot of books out there that either talk about a plant’s spiritual or medicinal aspects–but rarely both. This separation of science and spirit mirrors the allopathic approach used in conventional medicine. The problem is that this separation doesn’t exist!

The more I studied the alchemical perspective, the more I learned that an herb's physical and spiritual properties are connected. When you study herbs this way, you start to see them beyond what they treat, and into their core medicinal qualities instead so you can use the whole plant to treat the whole person.

In this week’s video, you’ll learn:

-How alchemy and herbalism connect and create a pathway to becoming a holistic herbalist
-About the herbal 5 keys, which make it easier to learn about herbs
-What energetic architecture is, and how it forms a strong foundation for learning about any herb
-Some of my best tips for studying herbalism when just starting out
