About 15 years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Lise Wolff at her elderberry tincture making workshop. Lise, a local registered clinical herbalist, possesses a wealth of knowledge in medicinal plants. With a Master's degree in Science in Herbalism from the Scottish School of Herbal Medicine, her expertise has made her a valuable resource for people in Minnesota. Every time I join her for a plant walk, along with my daughter, I am reminded of just how rich and ever-evolving the world of herbalism is. Today, we learned the beneficial properties of sow thistle and wood sorrel, two plants we hadn't explored before, and Lise's passion for teaching ensures that every outing yields fresh insights and new lessons.
One of the most captivating aspects of Lise's guidance is the treasure trove of stories that she shares about her experiences treating patients with plants. Her stories aren't just informative, they're also deeply inspiring, illustrating the profound connection between nature and healing. Each story highlights the practical application of herbs in real-life scenarios, motiving us to delve deeper into our understanding of plant medicine.
Herbalism is a never-ending journey of discovery. Each workshop and plant walk I attend with Lise reinforces my love for this ancient practice, as there is alway something new to learn and appreciate. Whether it's uncovering the medicinal properties of an unfamiliar plant or listening to the healing tales of those who have benefited from herbal remedies, I find that my enthusiasm for herbalism only grows stronger with time.
