Tools For The Virtual Herbalist

Tools For The Virtual Herbalist

I was looking back on a post I wrote several months ago about How To Create A Bad-Ass Herbal Scrapbook, and I thought that a few more resources might be handy – so I made you some πŸ™‚

Firstly, I think the vocabulary of herbalism can be a little daunting at first. We use a lot of words to describe herbal actions and dosing patterns that aren’t really part of everyday conversation for most people. Enter: this little infographic to help you sort it all out. Pin it on your Pintrest or print out a copy of the PDF for your Materia Medica book.

Secondly, I’d like to give you an idea of some herbs to get to know. Here is a list of my top 10 most essential. For this list, I tried to include a little bit of everything – some immune, some digestive, some first-aid, some nervous system, etc. These are solid basics to have around at all times. Again, feel free to pin it or print the PDF for your notebook πŸ™‚

      Awesome Pam! I’m glad you like them – I love creating them! I’m working on workbooks for the different class series that I’m offering this year, and it’s super exciting. Having print resources (or resources to print, in the case of those PDFs) always makes things more concrete for me πŸ™‚
