Discover the borderline magical healing, restorative, and regenerative forces of the natural world, as we do a deep dive into the magic of herbal remedies. We'll share essential knowledge about nature's pharmacy—hundreds of medicinal plants with proven powers that have healed and soothed for generations. Even today, these are the secret weapons of modern pharma firms: Aspirin's active ingredient, for example, is sourced from willow bark, which you can boil to get the same effects. Rediscover the rich, shared, and almost-lost history of beneficial plants, and learn how to harness their potential with tinctures, teas and other creative recipes that can heal a host of ills.
