CHAPTER 1

Welcome to the
Wonderful World
of Medicinal Herbs
R ECOGNIZED AS THE OLDEST SYSTEM OF HEALING  on the planet,
herbal medicine traces its roots back to the earliest civilizations.
Today, herbalism continues to flourish as a people’s healing art. Even
with the amazing technological advances of conventional (allopathic)
medicine, herbalism — the
art and science of healing
with plants — is still widely
popular. And its popularity
is gaining, not waning.
According to the World Health
Organization, 80 percent of
the world’s population used
some form of traditional
medicine in 2008, and its rate
of affordability, availability,
and accessibility is surging.
So it’s no wonder you’re drawn to these healing plants and
curious to learn more about them. But perhaps you’re nervous about
trying herbal home remedies: What are these herbs? Are they safe?
Do they work? Can you grow them at home? Can you make your own
remedies? When and how do you use them? How easy is it to get
started? These are some of questions we’ll address in this book.

My Story
I was one of the lucky ones. When I
was a child, my grandmother took me
into the fields and showed me the wild
plants she knew. Quietly, with a gentle
but stern voice, she taught me their
healing powers. When she weeded her
garden, I was often kneeling beside her,
watching her carefully sort the plants
she pulled. I learned early which herbs
went into the edibles basket and which
went into the compost, and, as impor-
tantly, I learned why.
We were a farm family growing up
in the wake of World War II. Resilient,
hardy, and handy, we were taught to use

One of the major differences between
conventional (allopathic) medicine and
herbal or natural medicine lies in their
relationship to constitutional or founda-

as we all know, is great for treating
acute illness and can often temporar-

A MANTRA FOR HOME HEALTH CARE


I am my own healer. I have a radiant voice within that guides me. I can make decisions
for myself. I can rely on others as needed, but at my discretion. It is my body, my
health, my balance, and my responsibility to make right choices for myself. Right
choices include working with competent health-care professionals when necessary,
allowing friends and family to help as needed, and, above all, being true to my beliefs,
with the wisdom and willingness to change as part of the path of healing.
