How to Study Herbalism?
In our most recent Herbal Medicine for the Soul class, a student asked: "How to do I keep studying?"
I'm in the books all the time because I love it, but also because I'm committed to doing the boring work that helps me help others better.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know. In this line of work, I feel like it's what we don't know that can really cause unintentional harm.
For example, earlier in my practice, I remember giving Tami herbs that literally had her doubled over in more pain. It took me 2 years to figure what I did wrong. I wish I were exaggerating.
I hope you'll check out my answer to this student's question today's 4-minute YouTube video. I also hope you'll learn to embrace doing what's boring and take some time think about the skills you've gained from your background that enhance your herbal practice.
