Episode Summary

When I first started studying herbs over two decades ago, I learned herbs (like many people do) by memorizing herbal actions, memorizing lists, and then throwing it all together.  But I found that choosing herbs for people using these memorized lists didn’t always work, which was incredibly discouraging!

Luckily, I found out about herbal energetics, and that’s what I’ve based my herbal practices on ever since.  However, I’ve noticed over the years that there are a lot of misconceptions about this helpful system of matching herbs to people! In this episode, I’ll share what people often get wrong about herbal energetics - and why it bothers me. 

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

► Why herbal energetics is such a practical - not mystical! - system of matching herbs to people

► Why using herbal energetics can be more effective than the modern medicine approach (especially when dealing with chronic conditions!)

► How using your senses to understand an herb can give you a big-picture view of its phytochemistry

► Why learning herbal energetics together with herbal actions is such a powerful way of understanding plants

► and so much more….
