By learning a few key concepts of herbal formulary, you can craft simple, effective plant remedies for a variety of symptoms and illnesses.
In The Herbal Healer, you’ll be guided, step-by-step, in herbal formulary best practices, as well as renowned herbalist, speaker, and author, Holly Bellebuono’s 4-Tier Formula — a welcoming approach, utilizing hundreds of medicinal herbs to create simple and effective remedies with confidence and ease. She’ll also teach you about “overlap” herbs that can treat multiple systems and symptoms.
Holly’s unique teaching addresses each of the systems in your body as an integrated whole. One of the first steps is to assess the primary body system being affected — respiratory, digestive, neurological, endocrine, cardiovascular, or musculoskeletal, for example — and the related systems that might also need your attention.
Next, she’ll guide you in evaluating what herb “action” you need for treating your symptoms…
Do you need an analgesic for pain? A decongestant to relieve nasal or respiratory congestion? A stimulant to increase circulation? An emollient for raw or dry skin?
