From Field to Forest: My Path to Herbalism
Welcome to HerbaUnity – A Journey into the Healing World of Herbs
Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found your way to my little corner of the internet.
​
My name is Alla, and my love for herbs and plants has been with me for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I spent many days by my grandfather’s side, walking through fields and meadows, picking wild plants for our farm animals. My grandmother, always with a deep knowledge of the plants around us, would teach me about the herbs she used to heal, soothe, and nourish. These moments shaped my early connection to nature, and from then on, I felt a special bond with the plants that grow around us.
​
While my relationship with herbs began as a child, it wasn’t until a few years ago that I truly immersed myself in the world of herbalism. I started foraging, learning to identify and gather plants from the wild, and eventually completed a herbalism course at one of the most renowned schools. This experience deepened my knowledge and sparked an even greater passion for understanding the healing power of plants.
​
What excites me most about herbalism is how it connects us to something timeless—this deep, natural relationship with the earth that our ancestors knew well. It’s not just about the herbs themselves; it’s about the feelings, the rituals, and the profound sense of well-being that comes from working with the earth. From foraging in the woods to brewing a simple herbal tea, there’s an undeniable joy and peace that comes from using plants in our daily lives.
​
Through this blog, I hope to share not just the knowledge I’ve gained, but also the emotions and experiences that come with connecting to nature in this way. I believe herbalism is not just about healing the body, but also the soul. By learning from the plants, we find a deeper sense of connection to the world around us and to our own inner wisdom.
​
I invite you to explore these pages, where you’ll find stories from the past, practical uses of herbs, and simple ways to bring the benefits of plants into your own life. Whether you’re just beginning your herbal journey or you’re already experienced, I hope you find inspiration, knowledge, and a sense of peace through the ancient art of herbalism.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Together, we can reconnect to the earth and embrace the healing power of herbs, just as our ancestors did.
​
With love and gratitude,
Alla
