With back to school energy, let’s learn something new together
A topic that is really piquing my interest of late and something I’m keen to learn much more about is herbalism, defined as ‘the study or practice of the medicinal and therapeutic use of plants, especially as a form of alternative medicine’.
I spotted this Note recently shared by
where he suggests rather than only writing about what you know (the standard dished out writing advice), to also write about what you want to learn (i.e. something you are curious about but have no expertise in). I thought this was such a great idea!And in this spirit, herbalism is that topic for me.
I’m learning more about the properties of plants with each passing year and increasing my repertoire of the ones I use, but it’s a very small tip of a very large iceberg. And so with this article — and perhaps some future ones — I thought we could learn a bit about the power of plants together.
