yes you do. There are medicinial plants everywhere, sometimes right in your lawn. You just have to know what to look for.
Been doing this for close to 15 years, and I’m still learning

My mother is half Cherokee, and additionally spent about 10 years of her childhood on different islands of Hawaii. She taught me different forms of Shamanism.

As a young girl, I used the identifying guides.

It is scary that we don’t know what is around us and how to use it.

Medicine is so powerful – any form.

I am glad that Harvard docs such as Dr. Weil popularize some integrated medicine, but more needs to be done.

It is beautiful to see one individually, locally learn about healing using near resources.

It was easier when it was taught, but to do it on one’s own… well that is adventurous!

I’m at a top ten medical school now, and they do teach us – plans are indeed medicine. So are foods!

I made violet syrup one spring for sore throats. It was amazing to do the whole process and then get to treat people and have it work.

Good luck to you!
