I love my herbs.... I really do. They are a comfort. I came into herbalism like many others, through my mom. She had one book on medical herbalism and a daughter who was very prone to upper respiratory infections. We used peppermint tea for tummyaches, ginger for nausea, and celery seed tea (yuck!) for chest colds. So, it wasn't a big surprise that I grew up to study herbs and use them for my family. My first training, at home, was folk-traditional, I have added to that evidence-based formal studies.
Here is a peek into my herb closet:
These beautiful and often fragrant dried plants are used in our home for healing oils and salves, flavorful meals, tea, medicine, and more.
Tonight, as we prepare to rest, a fragrant cup of herbal tea is a welcome friend.
