I believe in the healing and nourishing power of plants. Not only as medicine (in the form of teas, salves, tinctures, etc.) but simply by being near plants, observing and becoming part of that world, we are helping ease our minds and returning to our place of belonging in the world.

Many, many medicinal plants are very vigorous and easy to grow, to the point of many people considering them “weeds”. We should admire these wild and special plants for their tenacity and ability to thrive under harsh conditions, and consider these attributes to be yet another of their healing and fortifying properties for our human bodies.
