Herbalism can be daunting for newbies, but there's no reason to shy away from it. In fact, the more I learn about herbs, the more excited I am to try them out in my own home and take care of myself and loved ones. A lot of people think that herbalism is hard or confusing, but it really isn't—I promise!

You don't need years of gardening experience or a Ph.D. in botany to get started with herbs; you just need an open mind and some patience as you learn along the way. If you're looking into learning how to use herbs at home but have heard some scary myths about herbal healing, then let me debunk some of those myths right now:

Myth 1: You Need to Have a Green Thumb

To disperse this myth, it's important to know that you DO NOT need to have a green thumb. In fact, anyone can learn herbalism in a short period of time. Herbs are easy to grow and harvest, so even if your gardening skills aren't very strong, you will still be able to reap the benefits of using herbs in your healing practice. The best part is, if you don’t want to grow your own plants- you can still learn about the ones you’re interested in using and buy them ready to use! Doing it this way, you’ll still be able to reap the benefits of the herbs.

Myth 2: Learning Herbalism is Time-Consuming and Frustrating

The truth is, learning herbalism can be an easy and fun process. It's not hard to learn how to use herbs for healing purposes--and there are many resources available online that will help you get started. If you're interested in pursuing this practice further, I recommend checking out my guides inside of my freebie vault, HERE. I have simple guides and resources to help you understand the basics of herbal medicine in a simple, easy to understand way.

Myth 3: Not Everyone Can Learn Herbs

A lot of people think that herbal healing is only for those who have a green thumb and can grow their own herbs, or those with an innate understanding of the natural world. This is NOT true! There are so many herbs out there that anyone can learn to use, even if they're an urban dweller without access to land or any other resources. Even if you don't have time for gardening (or don't want to), there are plenty of ways for even beginners to get started learning about herbal remedies:

• Books - There are TONS of books on the market with information about specific herbs and how they work together as part of a holistic approach toward health care. I recommend looking up some reviews before buying anything because some books are better than others depending on what kind of information they provide. If you want some recommendations on good beginner books, DM me on Instagram! I’d be happy to help you out!
• Online Resources - There are also lots websites where people share their experiences using various types of herbs and techniques.
• Work 1:1 with an herbalist- I personally love working with people that are beginning their journey. I remember how intimidating and overwhelming it can seem at first but if you have a good teacher, you’ll catch on fast!! This is why I’m created a self-paced course to help people get started or continue on their herbal healing journey!

If you have the interest and desire, you can learn herbalism. There are many ways to do so: through books, online courses and videos or by taking a class in person. You don't need to be a gardener or have green thumbs; just like any other skill set that requires practice, there is no shortcut around practicing with plants yourself!
