There’s something comforting about keeping jars of herbs in your kitchen cupboard. You don’t need a whole shelf full of them to get started. Just a few well-chosen staples can go a long way.

In fact, my very first step into herbalism started with a packet of calendula seeds. I didn’t know much abou...

When I first was learning how to steep a loose leaf tea, it was a big mystery to me. It turns out I'm not the only one who starts out wondering how in the world to use loose leaf tea without a tea bag.

I’ve always been an advocate of taking care of our own health as much as possible in a non-emergency situation (when there’s no extreme bleeding, you don’t have a broken bone, etc.). With too many personal experiences of doctors letting me down or prescribing me something that didn’t solve the root ...

While new herbs interest me (and I love to study them) I don’t particularly care for rare ones that are hard to get. I love using herbs that are easily accessible — even better if they grow in my own garden. Licorice root, star anise, turmeric, and chamomile are just a few! Growing herbal medicine i...
