// t i s a n e // I learned this word when living in France. A tisane is an infusion of herbs, whereas 'tea' technically refers to the Camellia sinensis plant, which gets processed into a variety of green, white, or black teas. (I still call an infusion of naturally caffeine-free herbs "tea," though... old habits die hard). . I usually drink 4+ cups of different herbal teas each day, but for some reason I'm drinking much less these days. As an avid home herbalist and maker of herbal products, I'm fortunate to have a fairly vast home apothecary, and love being able to craft a many-herb tea blend for my in the moment needs. (BTW, this is one of my favorite part of client sessions / having friends over... making them potions!) But lately I've noticed myself creating very simple combinations of 2 - 3 plants, or drinking single herb infusions. . As a young herbalist, Gemini, voracious student, and lover of information, I tend to get totallly enamored with the numerous & glamorous properties of medicinal plants... and as a child of a capitalist western society, this has translated a bit into "the more the better!" (In more ways than one, I'm sure...) . I'm a big fan of this beautiful phrase from @onewillow_apothecaries: 'everything is medicine and so are you'. I find myself turning and returning to it often. As someone who tends to get swept up in thoughts, ideas, information, newness, and so many other things, I feel that this small shift of "less is more" speaking to me through the plants via my herbal tea cravings is my medicine right now. Less can be more. Simple, gentle, quiet can be powerful too. I'm only beginning to see the perfection of this lesson, in this moment. . I guess all of that to say: tisane is deep and delicious / everything is medicine / your greatest teacher might be yourself . #herbalist #homeherbalism #herbalism #plantsaremagic #plantmedicine #herbs #holistic #healthcoach #holistichealth #holistichealthcoaching #foodasmedicine #everythingismedicine #lessismore #tisane #personalreflection #lifelessons #gemini #vata #vatadosha #youareyourgreatestteacher #infusions #acourseinmiracles
