For tens of thousands of years, humans around the world had all their needs met by nature and the land. They didn’t have a pharmacy. Instead, they used the roots, herbs, fungi and trees around them. The earth provides us with everything we need, we just seem to have lost this indigenous wisdom over the past few hundred years. Plant medicines can be both preventative and healing. Plants strengthen the immune system to help us avoid disease, but also return the body to a state of natural balance so that we can heal ourselves. And some plant medicines don’t just treat physical ailments but can also expand the mind in incredible ways. Plants that have psychedelic properties can take people on transformational inner journeys of self-reflection that can end up having profound positive effects on their lives.
