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. One reason I love them is because they are such an incredible support to acupuncture. But far beyond that, 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. 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.
