With the rise of what is now known as conventional allopathic medicine shortly before World War I, herbalism slowly fell out of favor and became to be thought of as folk medicine. Rather than viewing nature as the source of healing, as had been done for centuries, people began to view drugs and other “modern” healing methods as superior. If you would like to start using medicinal plants more often, here are 9 tips to do so:16
Learn to identify three medicinal plants you don’t already know that grow in your region and learn their uses.
Add at least one of these herbs to your garden or to pots on your windowsill.
Make a tincture, tea, syrup, or salve. Or make one of each!
Harvest and dry mint, lemon balm, calendula, nettles, or any other plant growing in your region.
Find a plant to sit with quietly each morning for a week; draw the plant.
Identify one healing skill you would like to have but don’t, and find a way to learn it—perhaps by taking an herb or aromatherapy class.
Make an herbal first aid kit.
Organize local healers for emergency response in your community.
With medicinal plants grown in your region, learn how to treat one condition that you and/or someone in your family struggles with.
We are all in a coocoo land when it comes to what the big fat rich people or our governments give us to eat or drink. We are eating modified foodstuffs and the so called genetics foods. We have changed the natural foods that God Almighty gave us which were free from disease and very healthy and full of nourishments.
Let us see what God’s says about foods
Genesis 1.11-12 & 20-26
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
