Top 10 Herbs  (…and Bonus Medicine Making Hacks) | We often see people who have taken herbal courses, self-studied, and learned from a lot of social channels. (And we know there are some excellent ones out there!)
It is almost the norm now to start learning herbalism via a piecemeal approach through the power of the digital age–with instant access to herbal teachers and traditional teachings from across the globe on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and more.
The connectivity we have in the digital age is amazing–incredible, in fact! Especially when it comes to knowledge sharing.
However, the ways we tend to access information and learn now is soundbite-sized. When it comes to learning herbs and learning them well, a deeper initiation and apprenticeship is required—like how we traditionally would have learned plant medicine from our mothers, grandmothers, or an elder in our community.
We see a lot of folks who may know a lot about certain parts of herbal medicine but lack the overarching framework and some key pieces to practicing herbalism successfully.
We see common gaps in foundational areas and confusion around things like:
- How to narrow your herbs down via their myriad of Herbal Superpowers–aka Herbal ActionsÂ
- How to use and apply the herbs once you’ve chosen themÂ
- How to decide between water or alcohol to make effective medicine
- How to decide what type of herbal medicine you are going to work with for maximum efficiency
