Incorporating herbs into your daily life doesn’t have to be complicated, you don’t have to be an expert and it doesn’t have to be expensive. It’s not about being perfect and using herbs for absolutely everything but about exploring and being curious.
There are lots of options! Infusions are of course an easy way to incorporate herbs in your daily routines and to support your body’s needs. But more than anything, however you decide to explore using herbs, there’s one thing you’ll need to do and that’s listening to your body.
That’s where it all starts; getting the information we need to know how to best support our system in that moment, in the phase of life we’re in. Going inward, tuning in and ascertaining what we need, what’s missing, what we’d like more of is the most essential skill to cultivate in order to live a healthy life.
It’s all about how you feel and how you want to feel; it’s our job to listen because when we do tune in our body has so much to say! It doesn’t necessarily come easy – listening to our body means stopping for a minute and that can be hard. It’s simple, but not necessarily easy.
Practicing tuning in is something to build into your daily life, as it’s the foundation for knowing what herbs to use and what means will be best to receive their benefits. Once we can do that and have a sense of what we need, we’re ready to start exploring how to meet those needs with herbs.
As a general rule, it’s important to remember that although herbs are natural it doesn’t mean there aren’t interactions with medications or dosages to be mindful of. Making sure you know what you’re taking is very important, so if you have any medical issues or take medication, please talk to your pharmacist before taking any herbs.
Another is that organic and vegan doesn’t mean that it’s 100% natural unfortunately, but again it’s not about being a perfectionist and going from regular chemical products to completely natural – any improvement is wonderful.
And as always, what works for one person may not work for someone else. Be playful and curious and listen to your gut – if it’s telling you to go with a certain herb even though you find you don’t like the smell or taste, give it a go!
Much love,
