Diving into the world of herbal medicine and the traditions that have carried it for a long time oftentimes introduces us to new concepts, principles, practices, and ways of seeing the world around us that aren’t often taught to us in our modern world. And sometimes there’s something there that changes your life forever.
For me, the principles of vitalism were one of the biggest revolutionary moments in my life, not only as an herbalist, but as a human being. While I’ll share a bit more about the five ways vitalism transformed my life, they’re also the ways it can transform yours too. This is more than just changing how we see the world around us, or even being more integrated with nature, but it’s also about reaching new levels of self-understanding.
Here’s a snapshot of this post:
-Why self-understanding includes knowing your own body and its uniqueness
-How nature externally influences our own nature internally
-Using herbs beyond just treating symptoms and into supporting health and vitality
-Why the vitalist herbalist sometimes doesn’t even need to use herbs
-How the vitalist perspective ultimately boils down to a spiritual way of seeing the world around us
