Balkan Touch

Very cool! We often look to Native American, Indian Ayurveda, TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) Hispanic Curandera and European herbalism but never get a good look into American Black or African traditions. Next on my book list!!! 😍❤️

This year, our dear friend Lucretia VanDyke published her first book, African American Herbalism, and it is fantastic! Rooted in African American traditions, this compilation of stories, practices, and recipes shares a perspective not heard often enough.

The article Lucretia wrote in 2021 for the Mountain Rose Herbs Blog is a glimpse at what you can expect to find in her book. https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/honoring-herbalists-of-color-through-time
