This is where herbalism starts to change🌿🌼🌿

June 5, 2026 Happy Friday! Video #3 in the Family Herbalist video series is ready for you today, and this one may be one of the most important pieces in the series. In this video, we'll talk about the difference between just using herbs and becoming a family herbalist. These two things aren't the same thing at all. Most people start and end with just "using herbs." They collect remedies, dabble in making some teas or perhaps a tincture or two, and take screenshots from all over the internet. Most of us begin there because we're looking for answers to a health need of some kind. Sometimes a rather urgent health need. But at some point, we realize that collecting information or going about herbalism blindly isn't enough anymore. It's at this stage that herbalism becomes more than a fun hobby, and it becomes instead a way of being and thinking in the world. A way to navigate our family's health needs and to give us more choices. In today's video, I'm talking about what it really means to become the kind of herbalist your family and friends trust. This is the part of herbalism I love teaching because it's where real change happens. I've seen over and over again how students and clients can become less dependent on the drugstore and more confident (and competent) in formulation and decision making in using plants that often grow right at our fingertips. That's what Video #3 is about, and there's a download for this video too! Plus...I have a surprise on the page for you, right underneath Video #3. Like a little Easter egg! If you're wanting to become an herbalist, this free series is a great place to begin understanding how an herbalist thinks! Hugs, Health, and Herbs, Heidi P.S. Be sure to look for the surprise!

June 11, 2026 Hi, there! We’re getting close to the end of our Family Herbalist (Ditch the Drugstore and the Family Herbalist Certification program) enrollment window, and I want to ask you something as kindly and honestly as I can: Where do you want to be six months from now? Do you want another whole season to go by with the same herbs sitting in the cupboard, the same saved recipes you haven’t quite trusted enough to try, all the little essential oil bottles gathering dust because you're...
June 10, 2026 Happy Herbal Note Wednesday! Today's note is going to be a pretty passionate herbal chat. Because what I’m seeing right now is a flashing red warning light… and too many people are ignoring it. We always think we have more time than we do. The problem nobody wants to talk about.... Drug shortages are still happening. And supply issues aren’t the only concern. The prices of medication are skyrocketing. Did you know that almost 100% of the ingredients or complete medications for...
June 9, 2026 Case studies are so fun to read through. They're real learning opportunities and are ways to see what could potentially work for you, too. Case studies matter because they show you what’s actually possible when real people apply what they’re learning in their real life. In this case, we're taking a look at a beginning herbal student's journey into improved health and health self-reliance..... Our students’ wins are so fun to read because they’re living evidence that confidence...
