Herbalism Is Dangerous & "This Is Not Medical Advice" Will Not Save You

There is a vast difference between (A) Writing up a Monograph or a summary of your own research on an Herb that mentions its traditional Folk Medicinal uses for particular conditions ... (B) Writing about your own personal experiences using x herbs to treat your own conditions that you have ... (C) Giving out a plaintext Herbal Remedy (whether traditional, from a modern book / blog, or even self created) ... (D) Making and selling Remedies ... (E) And outright making a post stating that if you have x conditions, then x herbs are good for those conditions, and explicitly encouraging people to use them in those capacities for those conditions.

The former two (A and B) are not a form of Medical Advice; the first (A) is just a profile or summary of a plant and its variety and spectrum of historical uses that you've researched. The second (B) is just a record of your own personal experience with a plant ... When done correctly, three and four (C and D) is just giving out a recipe or a product- and both have to be done in a very specific way ... However? No matter how much you preface it with "this is not medical advice and I am not a Doctor", the later (E) is and remains a form of Medical Advice and always will be.

Some of y'all newer people getting into Herbalism desperately need to learn the laws and how to properly stay in your lane to avoid stepping over that boundary. Because saying "this is not medical advice and I am not a Doctor" does not actually give you a free pass to say whatever you want about Herbs and Herbalism. Because you can get in a lot of trouble for it, and this will not hold up in court when you do get dinged if you are not careful.

Furthermore: You can (and will) actively kill people with this stuff by (1) Using bad resources to educate yourself (especially since AI generated resources are increasing yearly); (2) Not preparing your remedies correctly (with proper sterilization, proper storage, etc); (3) Not knowing anything about the history of the people you are giving advice to; (4) Not being specific enough in the advice or recipes that you give (such as specifying alcohol types, or using proper Botanical Names and Terminology, etc); (5) Generally just not being well enough trained to be handing any kind of advice out in the first place; and so on and so forth.

There are a lot of ways that Herbalism can go very, very, very wrong- and those chances increase tenfold whenever you start giving things out to other people. And this is not a fearmongering "if", or a slippery slope ... This is an absolutely guaranteed outcome of doing the wrong thing incorrectly in Herbalism.

Well meaning people have absolutely killed many people through poorly or improperly practiced Herbalism. And often those people are the Disabled and Chronically Ill who've been left behind by the system to begin with. And sadly, in a disturbingly large number of other cases, many have also killed their own children- and often themselves- through such improper practice.

I am literally begging you: Do not add yourself, or another person, to those statistics.

For those getting into Herbalism because of practices such as GreenCraft especially, I cannot stress enough that this is not simple "Fuck Around And Find Out" territory like the rest of magic and the occult is ... This is 100% "Fuck Around and Potentially Die" territory and it must be taken seriously as such.

No matter how easy materials make it seem, I really, desperately, need people who have no actual training (with a school) and are just getting into it (often as a hobby) to understand that you cannot just fuck around with Herbalism willy-nilly; to understand just how legitimately dangerous this can actually be.

This is based on research, in addition to 15+ years of experience as a Lay Herbalist, and 20+ years of experience as a magical practitioner.

Winter crops on my balcony in the early morning light.

The kale is really coming along, I think I will be able to start harvesting soon. I am one of those freaks that actually enjoys kale too, so this is great news.

I’m having less luck with the spinach which is historically accurate. Like basil before it, it seems to be one of those plants that just wants nothing to do with my clumsy kill-it-with-kindness gardening.

Very excited to see baby mizuna, radishes and rocket poking their little heads up out of the freshly potted soil.

I spoke to my Husband about how badly I'm struggling trying to figure out what on Earth to do with next year's garden. He's pushing me to do all flowers- which is kind of what I've been wiggling back and forth on, personally; he said that's immediately where his brain went, too, when I expressed having issues deciding.

When I brought up the fact that I can't bring them indoors because Araris'd try to eat them, and I can't handle the heat outdoors, so it felt like there was no real point- not since I'd never be able to enjoy them ... He started looking at ways to help cool the garden down for me; ever the eternal "Fixer", that man, I swear. But he did actually manage to find a couple options!

The two main options include (1) A small, battery operated misting fan I can just fill up and plop on one of the tables; and (2) Installing an 8ft Sun Shade on the garage. Something I can just pull over to the fence in order to provide extra shade when the Umbrella actually stops being useful after midday near entirely (which is always around roughly midsummer).

I don't know why I didn't think to find options to cool the garden down for myself. The thought just ... Never even remotely crossed my mind in any capacity. But between those two things, it should hopefully actually allow me to continue using and enjoying the garden through Summer. And so now it's not really all that unreasonable to try and do a flower garden next year after all!

I've kind of already picked out a rough idea of seeds and split the garden into three groups, now, then: The Garage bed, the Fence bed, and the pots.

➽ For the Garage bed, because it's so sunny, I'm going to plant largely natives that can handle the heat well (Coreopsis, Indian Blanket, Echinacea, Cardinal Flower, Yarrow, Queen Anne's Lace, Milkweed, Goldenrod, Sunflower, Passionflower, etc).

I already have half of the seeds for this since I ordered some of them last year and the starts just failed. So I won't have to order many more. Maybe only half of them, likely.

➽ For the Fence bed, since it's largely shaded, I'm going to plant more traditional ornamental garden flowers that probably can't handle our heat and our direct sun so well (Poppy, Lupine, Zinnia, Carnation, Cosmos, Calendula, Foxglove, etc).

I don't have any of these seeds in stock except for Lupine, because I haven't done an Ornamental plot since I started seed collecting. So I'll have to order all of these ones.

➽ And for the Pots, I'm just going to do some various mixed stuff; fill the larger ones in with what I've already planned to hold-over or re-plant from last year- and then save the smaller pots for the random things I find throughout the year at the Herb Festival and Lowe's ... Let everything just kind of fall as it may with the Pots.

I'm definitely still going to keep my normal staple Herbs like Rosemary, Basil, and Sage. Then I'm also going to do the new Plant Allies and other things I've already chosen for next year- like Rue, Absinthe Wormwood, Hyssop, and Mugwort, and then the new Rose I've already pre-ordered (which should be arriving in May, I think? I can't actually remember now). Plus I've got the potted Perennials that're still going strong- like the Comfrey, two Peonies, Blueberry, Lilac, and Perennial Salvia / Woodland Sage. And my Husband and I always grow Tomatoes every year, too, and won't be changing that (we've already picked those out.

I'm not going to re-order my Lily Bulbs this year. There's just too many of them to re-order, and doing so would wind up with far more bulbs than I could ever actually have the space for (I wish I could just order packs of like 5 bulbs or less, but everywhere sells like 10+ 😩); I think I'll just wait to re-order all of my Birthday Lilies I lost until we're actually out at the Farm and I can put them straight in the ground instead of risking loosing them in the pots again.

But not re-ordering them does mean I now have an extra 2 pots I can fiddle with if I can find space for them over by my garden instead of in the Breeze Way.
