Happy Herbalist Day! Today, we celebrate the heart and soul of plant medicine—the herbalists who dedicate their lives to the healing power of nature. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or someone just starting to explore herbalism, Herbalist Day is a moment to honor your journey, your teachers, and the plants that guide the way.
🌿 Ready to deepen your connection with plants and start your herbal journey?
Don’t miss today’s free live herbal webinar packed with expert tips, spring foraging insights, and a chance to win a National Geographic guide!
Herbalist Day is observed on April 17, a special day dedicated to recognizing the herbalists and folk healers who support health and wellness through natural remedies. It’s a chance to reflect on the ancient and modern practices that bring us closer to the healing power of plants.
An herbalist is someone trained in the use of medicinal plants to support physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. From preparing teas and tinctures to crafting salves and plant-based remedies, herbalists blend science and tradition to help others heal naturally. A folk herbalist often learns through hands-on experience, storytelling, and ancestral wisdom passed down through generations.
In celebration of Herbalist Day, our friends at the Herbal Academy are hosting a free herbal webinar at 3 PM ET today, featuring two renowned herbalists—Mimi Prunella Hernandez and Heather Wood Buzzard.
These inspiring teachers will share their favorite spring foraging tips, plant-based recipes, and stories from their new release, National Geographic Backyard Guide to Edible Wild Plants. Not only will you walk away inspired, but you could also win one of three free copies of the book—just by joining the live chat!
