Eve Brazil

I am an editor, writer, and medical herbalist, currently living afloat along the London canals.

My pursuit of a healing practice formally began with a BSc in Biomedicine at King’s College London followed by an MSc in Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience in Bristol, where I first discovered the medicinal virtues of herbs with Herbalists Without Borders.

After working in academic publishing for Nature Communications journal, I encountered Aeon Books, and have edited their publications for several years now, on titles such as Plant Medicine, The Humoral Herbal, Physic, The Herbalist’s Guide to Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond, The Tree Dispensary and many more. Since 2023, I have been writing for Organic Herb Trading, which has fostered a determination to raise our collective awareness of sustainability issues in the herbal industry and to respond to them responsibly as a community. With the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, I am also an editorial board member for the Power of Plants magazine. Earlier this year, I was delighted to join Herbal Reality as sub-editor, and now, as editor, I manage all of our publications.

Enchanted by how herbal medicine can connect, empower and heal, I aspire to imbue all of my pursuits with plant wisdom — to nurture our connection to plants, land, and community, and to inspire action that protects the health of people and the planet.
