You’ve tried the teas. You’ve bought the tinctures. Maybe you even made that overnight nettle infusion like the book said. But still your digestion is off, your energy crashes midday, and your body just feels stuck.

If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “I don’t think these herbs are doing anything,” you’re not alone. Herbalism, especially when approached from the outside-in, can feel like guesswork.
But it’s not that the herbs aren’t working t’s that the way we’ve been taught to use them is the problem.

Let’s unpack why your herbs might not be landing—and how to shift your practice from DIY to deeply rooted herbalism.

🌿 Herbs Aren’t Pills: Stop Expecting Quick Fixes

Most of us were raised in a pharmaceutical mindset: take a pill, get a result. But herbalism doesn’t work like that. The plants support your body’s natural rhythms they don’t override them.

In the video, I explain why this “pill logic” mindset can stall your healing, and how to work with your body, not against it.

🌱 Your Body Isn’t Broken—You Just Need the Right Match

As a clinical herbalist, I see this all the time: folks forcing an herb into their routine because it worked for someone else. But herbalism is personal. What works for your best friend might not work for you.

Your constitution, your stage of healing, and your unique needs all matter.

In the video, I walk through three different types of imbalances using one common issue, constipation and show how each requires a completely different herbal approach. This is what real, embodied herbal practice looks like.

🌼 Herbal Practice Requires Pattern, Not Panic

It’s tempting to reach for herbs only when you’re sick. But the best herbal practice is built in seasons of wellness.

This is where daily tonics like nettle, hibiscus, lemon balm, and oat straw shine. They’re not crisis herbs they’re foundation herbs.

If you’ve ever wondered when to use which herbs (and how much), the video covers that too.

🍃 More Herbs ≠ Better Healing

Have you ever made a tea blend with everything in your cabinet? I see you.
But too many herbs can confuse the body and keep you from knowing what’s actually helping.

Healing doesn’t require more. It requires the right match, right dose, and right timing.

In the video, I teach how to build clarity in your herbal practice by starting simple, paying attention, and building relationship with each plant.

🌺 Herbs Are Natural—but That Doesn’t Mean Neutral

Here’s something not enough folks say: herbs are powerful.
And power requires respect. Whether you’re pregnant, on medications, or just starting your herbal journey, safety comes from knowledge and context, not fear.

Especially for herbalists navigating care systems that haven’t always honored our bodies, understanding herbal safety is empowerment.

We go deeper into this truth in the full video, watch it here .
