+Different healing modalities complement each other. Herbalism doesn’t replace care from licensed medical professionals. Likewise, no aspect of modern industrialized medicine can replace a diverse collection of herbs and movement, both tailored to the individual.
+Herbalism helps us move from passive to active healing.
+Researching, collecting, growing, harvesting, and preparing our own medicines is empowering.
+Herbalism connects us to our ancestors as well as people all over the world. It is a natural human activity.
+Until very recent times, we have always lived in close proximity to plants. We did not evolve with electricity or smart phone alerts and notifications. Herbalism helps us deactivate our flight or fight response and activate our relaxation response.
+There is a high level of evidence that consuming a greater volume and diversity of plant foods would benefit most Americans. (However it is important to take into consideration individual needs and contraindications.)
+There is evidence that diseases associated with plant-deficient diets are on the rise.
