🦋Read. That. Again.🦋 Plants are not *alternative* medicine; they are the *original* medicine.
For centuries, cultures worldwide have understood what modern science is now proving—plants are intelligent, conscious beings capable of seeing, feeling, and communicating. From the mayapple, which plans its growth two years in advance based on weather patterns, to how plants warn their neighbors of danger, they are far more than passive organisms.
Research from luminaries like Goethe, George Washington Carver, and Nobel Prize-winner Barbara McClintock reveals the deep intelligence of plants. 🌿Plant neurobiology shows that their capacity for “brain-like” activity is far more developed than we ever imagined. Plants even produce neurotransmitters similar to those in our bodies, neurochemicals that predate human evolution by millions of years.
As we celebrate , we honor Indigenous herbalists’ profound contributions to health and healing. 💙Their ancient wisdom has laid the groundwork for many modern medical advancements. Indigenous peoples introduced key medicinal plants like echinacea and goldenseal, and their holistic healing approaches have shaped the principles of mindfulness and emotional well-being in today’s practices.
🫚From the discovery of natural pain relievers to the understanding of plant synergies and the promotion of preventive medicine, Indigenous knowledge continues to influence modern herbalism. Their sustainable harvesting practices and commitment to honoring the Earth serve as a vital reminder for us all.❤️
