Herbal Healing
Healing with herbs is a practise as old as mankind. Our ancestors used plants growing wild and from their gardens to treat simple complaints and dangerous illness. Plants are powerful healers and when combined with cleanliness, good food, adequate sleep and plenty of rest they are invaluable and effective.
A medicinal herb is “…any plant material that can be used in medicine and health care.”
David Hoffman
I live in Connemara and there are many, many wild plants that I forage and make medicine with. I also grow an organic herb garden. Each person is unique and the herbs must suit the person and the symptoms.
Plants share their wisdom the more we work with them. Using plants for healing connects us with our own bodies, empowers us in many ways and helps us to reconnect with the planet, Mother Earth.
As a radical herbalist, I offer consultations based on what the client can afford or donate – it does not have to be monetary. We can arrange a barter based on time ie, an hour for an hour. If herbal medicine is required, it may be in the form of tea or tincture, or something topical and the costs for these vary – again depending on what you can afford and as long as my costs in making them are recovered so that I can make the next batch.
If you would like to know more about herbs and their use, you could join one of the Plant Wisdom classes or purchase the books which are in the shop here.
