The Study of Medicinal Herbs

What is herbalism? Why is it great to know about the study of medicinal herbs? Where can you learn more about herbal remedies? Let’s learn together!

Herbalism is the use and study of Medicinal and Therapeutic Plants and Herbs.

WHAT IS HERBALISM?

It’s not that I don’t believe in modern medicine. I think it certainly has its place and can be an absolute miracle in saving and improving lives.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT MEDICINAL HERBS?

But a few distinct and undeniable experiences with natural healing has piqued my interest, and made me wonder if I could take more of my family’s health and welfare into my own hands, mostly for these reasons.

1- To potentially avoid some of the undesirable side effects that can come from an overuse of pharmaceuticals. 2 – To feel more prepared should a day come or an emergency situation arise where access to modern medicine might not be available.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW ABOUT HERBS

Now, if you get anything from this post, I want it to be this – because once I learned this important thing about herbs, that’s when I finally saw results.

Remember, for herbs to be most effective they need to be used EARLY and FREQUENTLY. Oftentimes it is a long term game – especially if you are dealing with chronic issues. Modern medicine, I guess in my opinion, is so often a short term solution to an underlying problem.

BEGINNER HERBAL MEDICINE IDEAS

Ok, now that I’ve kind of explained myself, let’s get to the fun part! I want to show you some of the herbal remedies I’ve been making and loving!

1 – NATURE’S NEOSPORIN

This can be great for cuts, bruises, bites, acne, infected wounds, etc. Dandelions are the shining star in this salve. You would be amazed at the benefits these so-called “weeds” have!

2 – ELDERBERRY SYRUP

Elderberry syrup – one of the more popular herbs to help support the immune system – and you don’t even need to be an herbalist to recognize that name.

3 – HOT GINGER BALLS

The name is pretty accurate to how they taste, but we found they helped a ton! They are made from a potent dose of ginger root powder and other supportive herbs, which I’m sure you know as a helpful agent for nausea.
