Supermarket Herbalism:Day 1
Welcome to Supermarket Herbalism!
Learning about herbs is an incredibly rewarding, inspiring, creative and nourishing experience, not to mention healthful.
I remember how overwhelming it can be as well. All those plants, all those remedies, Which ones to use? How much? Is it safe? Do they really work?
I admit that it does take a little time and some experimenting to find what works for you. Some of you may want to know a lot and become teachers or practitioners. Others may simply want to know what works and what they need to do to keep their families healthy.
That’s where I come in. Even though herbal medicine is incredibly simple to learn and use, it doesn’t seem like that to the beginner.
There is a very important secret that the herb books forget to mention.
That secret is that the key to learning is taking it ONE EXPERIENCE at a time.
The more experiences we have, the more we learn. For example, if someone tells you that ginger tea is good for a cold, that will inspire you to make the tea. If it works, you might go and look up ginger in your reference book. You’ll find out HOW ginger works for a cold and you might find out a few more things out about ginger on the way, such as the fact that it helps with digestion issues. The next time you need a digestive aid, you might make ginger tea. Also, in looking up ginger, you might also read a bit about other herbs, remedies, and recipes. Before you know it, you’re off making a remedy with a different herb.
The more you use herbs, the more you will learn. Many herb books are meant to be for reference. You grab them off the shelf when you need them.
The more you experiment and use your books, the more you will learn about plants and what you can do with them to bring health into your life. Many buy several herb books, really wanting to learn, but are still confused and don’t know where to begin.
Why a Supermarket Herbal?
I chose to call this the "Supermarket Herbal" because I wanted to make sure anyone could run out to their local market and get the ingredients you need to do this course. No need to buy dried herbs or go out and pick something. That will come later if you choose.
Right now, let’s stick with some things you are already familiar with and use them in new ways. You probably didn’t know that there are wonderful herbal remedies located right down the street at your local co-op or even Safeway.
Once you make these remedies with items you probably already have in your kitchen, you will see just how simple it is.
I am hoping this free herb course allows you to access even more of the free remedies posted on LearningHerbs.com.
You are now officially on your way to becoming a home medicine maker!
Let’s get started with…
