What is Plant Medicine?

Plant medicine comes from herbs that are naturally grown. They have been used for many years to heal the body. Our ancestors knew of the healing power of plants and the many benefits of using them.

Many herbs are known for their natural healing properties. They heal our bodies while giving us nutrients at the same time. It’s natural, not chemically manufactured. Many drugs on the market today try to mimic what herbs do, they can’t very well sell an herb as a drug, because we can find it growing out in the wild for free.

6 Simple Ways to Kick-Start a Healthy Mind and Body

When we hear the word “health,” we typically think about physical health. But that’s only one aspect of our wellbeing. A more holistic view of health also includes a healthy mind.
