7 Herbal Misconceptions


Listen Later

There's so much information (and misinformation) floating around about herbalism that it can be hard to know where to begin. In this episode, I'm debunking and sharing some of the most common herbal misconceptions I've seen over the years, and what I wish more people knew when they first started getting into herbalism.

Whether you're new to herbalism or a seasoned herbalist, this episode is your reminder that herbalism doesn't have to be complicated, competitive, or overwhelming. It's about connection, not perfection.

In this episode, I debunk these misconceptions:

  • You Have to Know Everything to Be an Herbalist
  • There's Only One "Right" Way to Practice Herbalism
  • You Have to Compete with Other Herbalists
  • The "Perfect" Formula or Herb Exists
  • Herbalism Is Only About Physical Healing
  • Since herbs are natural, they are all safe.
  • Herbs and Western medicine don't go together.

By the end of this episode, you'll feel encouraged to slow down, trust your intuition, and build a more personal relationship with the plants you love.
