Mycelial Medicines

I began to study food as medicine after injuring my shoulder in 2018 and resultingly beginning to deal with associated chronic pain that steroids did not help. I started eating stinging nettles, drinking them in tea, and even applying the sting to my shoulder to relieve the painful inflammation. It changed my life for the better to realize that we can forage plants and fungi that heal and support us. These same plants and mushrooms are what much of our pharmaceuticals are derived from.

I approach food as medicine like I do the other practices in my life- honoring traditional knowledge systems which pre-date and were relied on before the western scientific method along with the western scientific method. We know the effects of eating heavily processed foods on our long-term health. Reintroducing traditional foods can go a long way in managing pain and preventing disease. I am not a medical practitioner and I do not diagnose folks, but I do listen to what they are struggling with and can recommend based on that listening what from my collection of foraged herbs might help. This page outlines most of what herbs I have available on a sliding scale suggested donation basis.
