Herbcraft: The Complete Guide to Traditional Western Holistic Herbalism
$29.99
HerbCraft was born out of the social, environmental and health unrest in 2020. The Covid19 pandemic forced Nicole to slow down, and make her teaching and passion for plant medicine available in new and creative ways. She saw the pandemic as a challenge, and finished this 300 page introductory guide for working with plants as a reference for her courses. This guide isn’t just about what plants are good for what, but paints a picture of what it means to live as a folk herbalist today, and how to empower yourself to take charge of your own health safely and mindfully. She keeps a sharp focus on sustainability and personal responsibility, as well as creating an easy to use guide that celebrates ancient plant wisdom, while connecting it to our modern world.
