How Holy Herbology Started: A Journey Toward Natural Healing
How Holy Herbology Started Welcome to Holy Herbology! We’re thrilled to have you join us on this journey toward natural healing and holistic wellness. Holy Herbology was born out of a place of despair when my wife and I returned from Iraq with serious health concerns and no healthcare professional could give us answers to any of our 3 very simple questions: What is going on with our health, what is happening inside our body that it obviously doesn’t like, and what is a plan to fix it. Literally, we were going from one doctor to the next. A new symptom appeared, oh here you are, try this medicine. I went from one medication to another. No shit, at 1 point, I was up to 17 different prescriptions. One day as I began to open my medicine cabinet, I decided enough was enough! At that point we decided to take matters into our own hands. We began learning about God’s food and the power of healing with herbs and natural remedies. As our knowledge began to expand, we found ourselves on a transformative healing journey. Along our journey, we realized the more in-depth our knowledge and understanding became, the closer to God we become. God is always speaking to us, we just have to slow down enough in this world full of distractions to hear.

Think of us as your friendly, knowledgeable companion on your herbal journey! The Power of Herbs: Nature’s Pharmacy It’s only taken, lets see.. multiple thousands of years, but finally, our modern science has begun to catch up with what our ancestors knew all along: herbs are AMAZING! And for our readers that lean on the conspiracy side of things, one may even say that this knowledge has been purposefully hidden from the masses to make us more reliant on certain systems outside of God’s hospital (nature), for richening the rich of course. Studies have shown, for instance, that turmeric, with its active compound curcumin, has potent anti-inflammatory properties. Chamomile has been scientifically recognized for its ability to soothe and promote relaxation. Lavender is well-known for its calming effects, supported by research highlighting its ability to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. But before we go there, let’s get a better understanding on plant actions and energetics and how that knowledge paired with the understanding of your body’s constitution will definitely streamline your understanding of herbal healing and usages. Historical Context For thousands of years, herbs have been the cornerstone of traditional medicine in cultures around the world. Ancient Egyptians relied on the soothing properties of aloe vera, the Chinese used ginseng for vitality, and indigenous cultures across the globe utilized the healing powers of herbs native to their lands. These plants have been cherished not only for their medicinal properties but also for their spiritual significance, forming an integral part of rituals and healing practices. Understanding Your Body’s Constitutions It’s a secret code that, when learned, allows you to know precisely how your body dances in the world. As our dear friend, herbalist Michael Moore explains, Each of us has a natural constitution-unique assortment of characteristics that mark how we will react to everything from the weather to the foods we eat. This is an important concept when understanding herbal medicine. Now, consider two people with two different body types: one who generally stays cold and lethargic, and another who stays hot and active. Perhaps they would both drink peppermint tea but their bodies could respond very differently. On a cold person, peppermint may be a stimulant; on a warm person, it is cooling. Herbs, just like people, have “temperaments,” and knowing your constitution helps you choose herbs that resonate with your particular needs. By understanding your constitution, you’re better equipped to tailor your herbal remedies in a way that promotes healing without guesswork. It’s a simple yet powerful insight—like knowing which fuel works best for your engine. And that’s just one piece of what herbs have to offer. You don’t have to know it all-just this small fraction about your body can totally change how you use plants to heal, making your journey with herbalism so much more personal and effective. Keep reading, and you’ll see just how deep this connection goes. Discovering your constitution and utilizing that knowledge to choose the appropriate herbs can lead to a transformative journey. Below is a step-by-step guide designed to assist you in uncovering your unique constitution and integrating it into the art of herbal healing: 1. Observe Your Body’s Baseline All it really takes to start understanding your constitution is this: pay close attention to how your body feels and reacts in any given circumstance. Look for patterns in your energy, your digestion, the way you sleep, and how you feel overall. Do you tend to get cold, or do you tend to run hot? Are you groggy as heck in the morning and energetic at night? How does your skin tend to act-normal, dry, oily? Each of these pieces of information serves as a clue about your underlying constitution. Example: If you’re someone who tends to feel cold, especially in your hands and feet, that may indicate a “cold” constitution. If you are often overheated, prone to inflammation or restlessness, you may have a “hot” constitution. 2. Know …
