We are offering the forum to explore ideas and understandings about plant based intelligence and healing and would like to encourage participating guests to empower themselves through these discussions and through the information available.

Plants and herbs have an incredibly long standing traditional use. All throughout history, in pretty much any culture, the use of plant and herbal remedies to alleviate a wide variety of maladies and illnesses have been predominant. It would not be inaccurate to say that shamans or healers were the first doctors in history. They cured people using ancient wisdom about the Earth and its healing properties, passed on through generations. 

The ancient Indians, Chinese, Egyptians, Babylonians, and Native Americans were all herbalists . Native Americans have also always believed in the interconnection of body, mind and spirit, and the importance of healing all of these .

A sacred plant ritual may sound like magic, but it actually has everything to do with science, and the way the brain reacts to the healing plants. Researchers believe that these plants cause a change in the perceptions of people who use them, because they act on the neural circuits in the brain, especially in the prefrontal cortex, the region of the brain in charge of perception, mood, and cognition. This means that sacred plants are able to actually change the structure of neurons, which is very important because the brain’s structure controls functions. The administration of sacred plant as medicine, helps repair brain networks in the prefrontal cortex that were damaged from issues like anxiety, depression, addiction or other mental disorders. 

Look forward to seeing you!
