Herbal Aid
Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food
What we offer
Materia Medica
We have, and are continuing to develop, a vast compendium of herbal knowledge based on the works of top doctors, naturopaths, researchers, chemists, and leaders in the field of herbalism. Once you sign up for a membership you will have unlimited access to the vast amounts of herbal research we have accumulated.
Teas & Guides
We lovingly and thoughtfully craft guides on making tea blends, tinctures, poultices, and baths, as well as writing longer form discussions on herbal and other health-related topics. These guides expound upon the more niche uses of herbs, and help demonstrate the versatility and benefits of using herbs to boost our health and recover from injury.
System Effects
Energetics
In traditional Chinese medicine (or TCM) and Unani Tibb, herbs elicit and encourage certain energetic reactions within the body. A given herb might be cooling to the body and drying to the skin, thus making the herb cool and dry. Others herbs might be hot and moist, hot and dry, or cool and moist. Access alphabetized compendiums
Herbs have various effects across the entire body, but most tend to have actions on a specific organ system. With Herbal Aid, you can see our complied lists of herbs that have an affinity for a given system: the nervous system, hepatic system, endocrine system, and more. Members can explore each herb more in depth with the materica medica.
