Herbs as alternative therapies
Abstract
The author of this paper believes herbalism to be the therapy that is most bioregional in its approach to health. Herbalism offers more than a healthier body; it also shows us in a concrete way how we are connected to the life that surrounds us. By using herbs for medicine we become connected to the plant life around us and gain a greater understanding of our place in the environment. By knowing our bodies, and by knowing our connections to the plant life around us and the soil, water and air, we can realize the actuality of living in a place.
