I have just begun studying medicinal plants this year and would love any tips you can give us on growing or respectively foraging them. I was just personally introduced to Nettles which were growing on my rural property in central Italy… so exciting! I grow some culinary herbs which have medicinal uses (rosemary, sage, thyme for example). I love chamomile and drink it as a tea daily. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, I look forward to reading your posts.
It is amazing that you are starting to study medicinal plants. And with the climate you have in central Italy, there are so many you will be able to grow! Do you plan to create your own medicinal garden (beyond the herbs you already have)?
Right now, my idea is to write one piece a month exclusively about cultivating and harvesting! I hope you will find it useful.
By the way, Nettles and Rosemary are some of my absolute favorite. They are wonderful! It is fantastic they are already growing on your property!

Hi, have been a follower of the Seed Sistas for a while, I take care of family health using herbal tinctures that I buy from licenced and trained herbalists and I have always preferred herbal meds over biomedicine. Very happy to find another newsletter that'll speak to us about what we can use and how. Something I like about Seed Sistas approach is that it's not extractive and does not see the plants as simply resource that we can use. Hoping to find similar relationships here.
Hi Caroline, welcome! It’s really nice to meet you! I am so pleased to read that medicinal plants already have such a place in your life, and especially that you don't see them just as resources to be used. I am completely with you there, and this is something I wish I would hear more often!
I believe our culture and our capitalist model are causing a lot of people to approach herbal remedies from a very consumerist point of view. And I am convinced that (re)learning to connect with plants as living beings is an essential key to a beneficial change of perspective.
I hope you will enjoy this space and the time you spend here!
Marie, I am blessed to know you as the loving, caring an kind person you are. You have build Blooming Life, your herb garden and all the wonderful products you offer from your soul, with all your heart in it. I look forward to learn more about the magical world of herbalism.
Kim, thank you so so much for your kind words. You are one of the purest persons I know. I truly feel honored and deeply touched! And I am so glad that you are joining us in this space! I hope you will find it useful and inspiring. Lots of Love to you!
Hi Marie. This is a fantastic idea! I would love to join you on this journey and learn more about plant medicine. I tried to start a medicinal garden years ago but it didn't work out. This might inspire me to do it again. Thank you! :)
Welcome Pipa! Thank you so much for your encouragements, I am glad you decided to come along! And it will be my greatest pleasure if my writings can inspire you to start a new medicinal garden!
Marie, WELCOME! Substack is already a richer place now that you are here, sharing your unparalleled knowledge, meticulous attention to detail and pure passion about medicinal plants and what they can do for us. I cannot wait to learn from you!
Leyla! I am soooo happy I finally made it here! I will never thank you enough for your precious encouragement and support! And I can’t wait to share more of my world with you 😊

Do you know what the issue was the first time?
I kept having to go back to the UK and it kept dying while I was away...
Hi Marie, you did what I always had in the back of my mind, creating a medicinal garden. Well done, keep going!
Hi Joline, welcome! I am so pleased that you’ve decided to join!
Thank you so much for your encouragement. I hope Naturally Yours will be your invitation to get your own medicinal garden going too 😊
Are there some specific plants you would love to grow? I imagine you probably already have some herbs?
Dear Marie, what a lovely initiative! Thank you for doing this, I look forward learning more from you about the wonderful world of herbalism 🥰🌿
Waw Ditte, it is SO nice you are here! I hope you will enjoy it! 🌷
