Most people come to herbalism looking for the ānatural versionā of their medications or over-the-counter remedies.
But hereās the truth: herbal medicine isnāt about swapping pills for plants ā itās about asking better questions.
In this video, Iāll show you how to think like an herbalist using my ABC+D Framework:
⨠Activate the potential for healing
⨠Build health with strong foundations
⨠Cleanse the bodyās natural pathways

This shift takes you beyond symptom chasing ā and into a way of working with herbs that actually supports root cause healing, resilience, and long-term health.
If youāve ever wondered why herbs sometimes feel like they ādonāt work,ā this perspective will change everything.
