Let nature be your teacher
William Wordsworth
Medicine plants heal more than the physical body. They help open our hearts, reconnect us with Spirit, and guide us in developing respectful and joyful relationships with the natural world.
Deb Soule
The more you pay attention, the more it becomes a spiritual practice of noticing what medicinal plants are doing inside the body, which deepens our appreciation of plants and our interconnectedness. It also makes us more aware of our own healing process.
David Crow
The plants have enough spirit to transform our limited vision.
Rosemary Gladstar
There is not a single human being on this planet that does not depend on plants for life itself. You see, herbalism is all around us.
We as humans share a symbiotic relationship with the plant world.
Marlene Adelmann
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
Lao Tzu
The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them.
Ecclesiasticus 38:4
Heal yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds. Heal yourself with mint, neem, and eucalyptus. Sweeten with lavender, rosemary and chamomile. Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a hint of cinnamon. Put love in tea instead of sugar and drink it looking at the stars. Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain. Stand strong with your bare feet on the ground and with everything that comes from it. Be smarter everyday by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with your forehead. Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier. Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember….you are the medicine.
Advice from Maria Sabina a Mexican healer and poet.
Everyone has a doctor in them; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well.
Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food.
Hipocrates 460-370 B.C.
It’s more important to understand the imbalances in our body’s basic systems and restore balance, rather than name the disease and match the pill to the ill.
Dr Mark Hayman
Plants talk to us at all levels, molecule to molecule and spirit to spirit. They facilitate healing that is potent, profound, and life-affirming.
Marlene Adelmann
What most people don’t realise is that food is not just calories; its information. It actually contains messages that communicate to every cell in the body.
Dr Mark Hyman
Nature itself is the best physician
Hippocrates
Sometimes the best medicine grows from weeds

The ritual of making a cup of tea is as much a part of the medicine as the tea itself.

Someone has to stand up and say the answer isn’t another pill. The answer is spinach.

Allow nature’s peace to flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
