Starting your first Apothecary! It’s hard to know where to start when creating your first herbal collection, and can be overwhelming looking through all the herbs in any herbal book or website or apothecary. By the time you’ve got a list made, you’ve probably got 50+ herbs to learn about and hundreds of dollars to spend getting there :(

Let’s simplify that experience! You don’t need to start with all the herbs, and you don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars. The best way to start is slow & small - get to know a handful of herbs really well! This is where a lot of people go wrong in the beginning - they try to cram in learning as many herbs as possible in as short a time as possible and end up only skimming the surface of each herb’s potential & not really knowing any of them deeply. You’ll have a one up on a lot of us if you take it slow and get to know a small handful of herbs very well before moving on.

To start - Where are some good places to buy herbs? Okay honestly - Mountain Rose Herbs is just the best - their quality just can’t be beat, they grow a lot of their own herbs (I’ve visited their farm and it’s amazing), they have SO many herbs to choose from that are usually always in stock, they are very reliable & their customer service/returns policy is just amazing. Their downfall is that you can only buy in bulk, so only in amounts of 4oz or more. But really, if you’re trying to get to know an herb, you’ll want at least 4oz. I went through a whole pound of calendula when I was learning it, so I promise that you’re going to want at least 4oz of your herbs. 

If 4oz is too much (which I get it, the cost can add up when you’re buying 10 herbs) a secondary option is to buy Mountain Rose Herbs herbs through an independent apothecary - any good apothecary will carry a ton of Mountain Rose herbs! You can do a quick search to find an apothecary near you to check out, or if you don’t have one nearby, you can order online from lots of apothecaries (my favorite is @moonriseHerbs in Arcata, CA where I first started my formal herbal training!). 

There are of course a good amount of smaller farms/suppliers that have great quality herbs (like @fosterfarmsherbs), but for simplicities sake we will leave that exhaustive list for another time. 

Ok second - let’s start with a well-rounded apothecary of 10 dry herbs for tea that can be formulated together to work with to address a ton of different imbalances. Trade out wherever you want, this is just a starting point! But if you want to just take a load off your shoulders & are feeling overwhelmed with all the herbal choices, just shoot for this list. This list is seriously well-rounded enough to work with for your first year of herbal studies.

Chamomile - affinities for digestion, cold & flu care, emotional health, pain management, & sleep issues

Ginger - affinities for digestion, pain management, cold & flu care, reproductive health, & cardiovascular health

Marshmallow - affinities for digestion, urinary health, respiratory support & moistening mucous membranes everywhere

Passionflower or skullcap - affinities for emotional/nervous system health & sleep issues (skullcap & passionflower are a power duo!)

Valerian - affinities for emotional/nervous system health, pain management, reproductive health & sleep issues

Elecampane - affinities for cold & flu care & lung support

Motherwort - affinities for emotional/nervous system health, cardiovascular health & reproductive support

Poppy - affinities for pain management, sleep issues & emotional/nervous system health 

Yarrow - affinities for digestion, emotional/nervous system health, reproductive health, urinary support & cold & flu care

Stinging nettle - affinities for urinary support, emotional/nervous system health, allergy support, cold & flu care, & cardiovascular health

These 10 herbs will get you & your loved ones so far when it comes to so many common imbalances as you can see. And this is absolutely not an exhaustive list, these are just the most common use cases for working with these herbs!

Third - you can simply store all of these herbs in the bags they come in, in a dark area, or you can move them all into airtight glass jars if you’d like! Just make sure they’re not exposed to sunlight - I like to keep mine hidden under a throw blankie just to be extra cautious about light damage. The internet has some pretty cool & affordable airtight glass jars, but mason jars totally do the trick & can be found at most grocery stores. 

Remember to label your jars with the plant name, latin name, where you bought it & when you bought it! If you don’t do this, I promise you will forget (I speak from experience!).

Lastly - You can learn about these common herbs from just about anywhere, pretty reliably since they are so well known. The internet is absolutely full of bullshit about a lot of herbs, but I will say that these 10 are so common that most of the information out there about them is legit. But if you’re looking for a great starter herbal book to learn from, my favorite is still @RosemaryGladtar’s family herbal. It is basic & simple, and I really think that’s best to start. 

Side note which I will elaborate on in a future post - there are actually a lot of crap herbal books out there. Like a LOT. And just because you recognize an herbalist’s name because they’re famous in the community does not mean they know wtf they’re talking about. Just proceed with caution and question anything that doesn’t seem quite right. 

And VIOLA, you’ve got yourself an apothecary! Practice drinking infusions of these herbs alone, and combining them together for different effects! You can really use this set of herbs to help with almost any common imbalance that might come up, and they also make for some delicious teas :) 

I’m slowly rolling out herbal spotlight/materia medical graphics on each of these herbs in much more depth, so check back here & on my IG for more info!

BỨC TƯỜNG THỦNG: DÙNG BỨC TRANH HAY TRÁM LẠI, BẠN SẼ LỰA CHỌN CÁCH NÀO ?

Chúng ta có thể lấy bức trạnh che lấp hoặc dùng cát, đá, xi măng trám lại. Khi dùng tranh lấp lại chỗ thủng, bức tường sẽ trông đẹp hơn, đây là cách rất thông minh, tiết kiệm được thời gian, công sức của bạn. Nhưng chỗ thủng thì còn đó mã và bạn đã nghĩ đến một ngày nào đó lổ thủng càng ngày càng lớn hơn chưa? Khả năng là có, thậm chí khi lổ thủng quá lớn và gặp gió mạnh nguy cơ cả bức tường sẽ bị sập.

Vậy cách còn lại thì sao? Điều bạn đang nghĩ là hoàn toàn chính xác, lựa chọn trám lại bức tường sẽ lâu hơn, mất công sức, tiền bạc nhưng nó giải quyết được triệt để lổ thủng. Chắc chắn, sau quá trình đó bức tường được vững chắc hơn.

Tương tự như vậy, khi cơ thể bạn đang bất ổn việc dùng thuốc như treo tranh, ta được quyền treo mãi nhưng đồng nghĩa là bạn phải phụ thuộc vào thuốc nhiều.

Sự thật, cơ thể chúng ta là 1 bộ máy vi diệu với chức năng tự hồi phục khi có đủ nguyên liệu phù hợp và thời gian, nó sẽ tự tái tạo lại các tế bào bị tổn thương.
