Herbal Medicine
is the Medicine of the People
For ages, herbs have been the Medicine of the People and today they continue to carry much healing wisdom that is available to you through Evenstar Herbs.
At its heart, herbal medicine is about taking the journey into deep healing for yourself. The plants have things to say to you about yourself, your healing, and how you can become the steward of their secrets. They invite you to step into this deep healing and, with their assistance, carry it into yourself and in doing that take a step to heal the world.
The plants have power, healing, guidance, and ancient secrets that it is time for them to give you – if you are you ready to receive their transmission.

Most of the world has used herbal medicine for most of recorded history. Herbal Medicine is part of a traditional culture of medicine and healing. Most of the world has used herbal medicine for most of recorded history. Original herbal medicine played a central part in an integral system of healing that addressed the individual as part of a whole constellation of order. In this traditional healing culture, the whole person and their entire context of being were addressed. Each physical problem had it correlations emotionally, psychologically, socially, and spiritually.
Not only was the person’s symptoms considered in choosing healing remedies, but also the person as part of the whole of her social order was addressed. Remedies were chosen by taking into account all of these factors– herbs often being a part of the remedy constellation.
Our herbal remedies are markers for this holistic medicine approach. The herb is not just used for its chemical constituents. Rather, the herb is used to carry the intention for healing the whole. As a part of nature and an integral part of the whole – it is appropriate for herbs to represent this holistic intention.
When you take an herb the intent is to imbibe that representative part of the whole with the entire healing intention. In this kind of integrated holist system of healing, herbs carry a lot of power beyond their chemistry. That is not to say that their chemical parts are not important – but they are just one aspect of the healing potential of herbs.
It is this holist potential of herbal medicine that captures the attention of so many people today because they remember somewhere within them that herbs are attractive because they represent a lost connection to wholeness.
At Evenstar Herbs you will find that re-connection to your wholeness through:
