Herbs, oh, herbs! Denizens of my heart! Peony and pine resin, sage and motherwort, rose and mugwort and saffron and skullcap!

I love herbs deeply. I love them in the kitchen, and in the garden or on the roadside, growing as persecuted weeds and unknown friends. Dandelion and purslane, wolfsbane and nettle. I have had four years of rigorous training in Traditional Chinese herbalism and have been board certified in its practice. My practice of herbalism has also been informed by my study of Traditional Tibetan Medicine, and the use of plant medicine in Turkey through my cultural heritage.

The range of issues that can be helped by the appropriate herbs is truly vast; insomnia, painful periods, asthma and allergies, digestive disorders, and many others. When people are taking multiple pharmaceutical drugs, a simple tea or food herb is the best support. While they are not appropriate for every person, they truly can be life-changing.
