Welcome to Herbal Healing!
Herbal Healing is a sanctuary dedicated to the Art of Traditional Herbal Medicine. Once part of Sacred Earth, ‘Herbal Healing’ is rooted in this legacy, but aims to expand and grow far beyond those early beginnings. Blending ancient philosophies of healing with contemporary insights and modern understanding, we offer novice-friendly guides to ancient systems of medicine. Discover rich resources for kitchen herbalists and seasoned practitioners alike. For those wishing to delve more deeply, our membership community provides a caring and supportive space to explore the fascinating world of herbal wisdom even further.

Uses and Applications
The original Sacred Earth Site has become too unwieldy. To do the widely varying topics within Herbalism justice, I have broken up the site and created several subdomains that cover each of these topics in more depth. Here are the quick links to the other sites:
Sacred Earth – the mothership sails on – but is now more tightly focused on ethnobotany and economic botany with overviews of subjects covered in more depth in the other micro sites.
Herbal Healing – you have found this site. It covers traditional herbal medicine in both theory and practice.
Sustainable Living – This site covers gardening/permaculture, food and nutrition, food preservation, foraging, primitive skills and green living hacks.
WildMind – This site focuses on connecting with nature. Ecotherapy, Nature Journalling and nature-based art all find a happy, creative home here.
Plant Spirit – This site covers Magical herbalism, Nature-based spirituality, plants as gateways to the sacred, shamanism, and the magic of scent in incense and magical perfumery.
The youtube channel is a brand-new project and will cover all topics related to herbs and herbalism.
