You look familiar: an Introduction to 5 plants.

The heart of herbal medicine lives in cultivating relationships with the plants themselves, as the living, sentient, intelligent beings they are. This offering is an introduction to 5 plant allies: mugwort, stinging nettle, yarrow, rose, and juniper. It is an exploration and meditation of sorts on a complex reality within Western Herbalism; the intention to seek and sow healing and repair through the vehicle of plant medicine, while living, growing, and practicing on land harmed by a legacy of colonization and violence. These plants that have called out to be featured here have species native to both Wise Womxn traditions of Old Europe, and toTurtle Island (North America).
