Book excerpt: In a world of constant change and crisis, the relationship between humans and their environment has never been more vital. Louisiana Herb Journal invites readers into the world of medicinal herbs, introducing fifty herbs found in Louisiana, with details on identification, habitat, distribution, healing properties, and traditional uses, including instruction on popular preparation methods such as tinctures and teas. Interspersed with these practical details, herbalist Corinne Martin shares stories that foster a true connection between readers and the world around them, from tales of childhood cherry picking to harvest mishaps to folklife traditions passed down through the generations. Accessible to experienced and rookie herbalists alike, Louisiana Herb Journal offers a new way of looking at the natural world, getting to know one’s “home ground” through a lens of healing and participation. Family connections, an intimate knowledge of the surrounding lands and waters, strong community bonds, an irrepressible resilience, and a great capacity for celebrating life despite hardships are part and parcel of what it means to be from Louisiana. A celebration of the state and the cultures of those who live there, Louisiana Herb Journal reflects on the value of medicinal herbs in promoting personal healing and addressing current challenges to the state’s environmental and economic stability. Readers will gain a deeper recognition of the natural wealth Louisiana enjoys and the ways that our stewardship of wild plants can impact our personal health as well as the state’s ecological future.
Download or read book Herbal Homestead Journal written by Brittany Nickerson and published by Off the Common Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbs and self-care practices shift with the seasons and therefore offer a tremendous opportunity to learn from nature. Our bodies go through the same cycles as the earth, daily, monthly, and yearly. The herbal homestead is a place to practice this art of living that we have become so disconnected from and to consequently reconnect with the cycles around and within us. Connecting and reconnecting with these processes is empowering, enlivening, energizing, and it builds confidence and trust in yourself and your body. Confidence and trust are major markers of health, so this way of life can put us right on our path to health. Herbal homesteading is a call to connect with ourselves, with our own healthcare, and with nature and plants. This connection can make us feel at home— at home within ourselves, at home in nature, and at home in the spaces where we make medicine, heal, and connect with others. You can create an herbal homestead to any extent and be successful, you do not have to have land, a garden, a plethora of herbs, an education in herbal medicine. You can embrace this worldview one day or month at time, plant by plant, one act of self care to the next. You can create your herbal homestead from your urban apartment, you can learn about nature’s processes and the life cycle of plants from the weeds growing through the cracks in the sidewalk —all of these cycles are created equally.

Download or read book The Herbal Homestead Journal written by Brittany Wood Nickerson and published by Office the Common Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I began writing the Herbal Homestead Journal in the spring of 2012 as a monthly companion publication to a fresh herb CSA at Atlas Farm in Deerfield, Massachusetts. The idea was that members of the CSA share and community, near and far, could subscribe to this newsletter and get month- ly wisdom, reminders, and teachings that would help them to live with the seasons, practice herbal medicine at home, and gain inspiration and empowerment for self care.These days, the practice of home healthcare is a form of activism. It requires us to work outside of the conventional systems and offerings of our culture and allows us to take ownership over our own well-being. Because of the personal and individual nature of these actions, I see them as the roots and foundation of activ- ism. Practicing herbal medicine and other forms of folk medicine at home is one of the most empowering choices one can make; it puts our belief that we can heal into our own hands ¿ helping us to feel in control, capable and...healthy!
