Along my journey into herbalism and natural wellness books have been some of my greatest teachers and friends. From learning the foundations of plant medicine and traditional herbal practices to deepening my appreciation for botanical wisdom and holistic living each of the titles below has played some role in shaping my path in herbalism.

This curated book list reflects resources that have inspired my ongoing study of herbs, medicinal plants, herbal teas, tinctures, salves, and natural healing traditions. Whether you are new to herbalism or continuing your own learning journey I hope these books offer insight, encouragement and a deeper connection to the plant world.

My background started in Massage Therapy and my first introduction to herbal anything was with aromatherapy oils. I loved mixing up different mixtures to give my clients relief from stress and over worked minds and bodies. Along with my very eclectic and off the wall massage instructor who always had to add side notes on holistic living loved talking about what herbs did what. The small taste of his strange instruction really did set me on a path to where I am now. I hope you enjoy this list of great reads as much as I do/did.
