Welcome to
The Herbal Medic
“The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore, the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.”
— Paracelsus
This site is a growing resource that explores the intersection of modern clinical care and traditional herbal medicine. The Herbal Medic was created to support students (including myself as a learning aid), practitioners, and curious minds navigating the many threads of herbal medicine, from plant identification and remedy making to phytochemistry and clinical reasoning.
Rooted in a background in emergency healthcare and shaped by a deep respect for holistic approaches, this site reflects an ongoing journey of learning and integration. It’s not a finished article, but a developing space to learn, reflect, and grow alongside the plants.
Whether you're studying formally or following your own path, you're warmly welcome here.
