I love the plant world, the natural world and I began to walk a herbal path after starting to grow my own vegetables. Apart from working with plant medicine for health - to maintain and recover health - I also like working with plant medicine in a metaphysical way. Communicating with plants can help us to connect deeply with the natural world and that really boosts our health. Whether it is boosting our immune systems by walking through a forest; soothing our mental health by walking through a meadow or a garden or bringing joy to our emotional health by caring for plants and working with them.
On a spiritual level, plants can humble us, encourage us to be non-judgemental and help us find our own inner strengths. All of this is healing. In our current difficult times with so much chaos in the world and threats of war, I feel that in having plant allies I am better equipped to deal with challenges. Becoming responsible for my own food and medicine means I am more autonomous, more self-reliant and that makes me feel stronger and happy. I feel assured that I can look after myself. No-one should make any of us feel dependent and reliant. If the government does that to us, it is behaving like an abusive partner. Break free and grow your own!
