Getting to know our herbs
Welcome to our every-growing library of over 200 herbal monographs. Amidst our collection, there are herbs from across the globe that are worked with in Western, Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese practices, as well as herbal traditions local to where the herbs natively grow.
Each monograph contains a wealth of information on each herb, including the botany, history, uses, actions, energetics, preparations, dosage, constituents, sustainability status, quality issues and safety concerns. To search through our monographs, herbs may be found by their common or Latin botanical names. Our filter feature is also available to select herbs by the body system they influence, their herbal action (the physiological effect the herb has on the body), their energetic qualities, or their sustainability status.
For a glossary explaining the different terms used in different herbal traditions, please look at our resource page.
