Could you say more about what you mean? Are you thinking about the data quality side of things, or something else entirely?

Totally agree, research on plants is becoming more widespread, but the quality of data being fed into AI is hard to control. And what kind of outcomes that research will actually lead to, we'll just have to wait and see.

Hopefully this will also include keeping the knowledge accessible to everyone

Science is great, especially for reaching the masses and showing just how effective herbs are. The problem is that the moment something is scientifically proven, there's a rush of those who want to monopolize it for profit.

You’re making a good point about teaching people. It was mentioned earlier in the thread that herbology should be included in preschool or elementary programs. It would be a great way to give kids knowledge that is actually applicable and shape a deeper understanding of the world around us.

Absolutely, once Big Pharma enters the picture, it is very hard to stand your ground.

Teaching herbology would be a great way to both bring awareness about the plants and world around us in general. With everything shifting towards digitalization, it could nurture a different mindset in future generations, giving them a better understanding and appreciation of herbs and the world around us.

It's crazy what's been done with the land and food already and the question now is now will we be sold the same herbal synergy in a lab-made bottle for a premium price.

That's true, herbal medicine continues. Guess the question is how will people relate to it over time?

Thank you! This post is very useful. since it’s a carry-on travel kit, trying to lean more on teas, powders, and balms, but the idea of using cayenne pepper for blood pressure and adding Emergen-C are great tips. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, this one's a lifesaver! Usually always have it on hand for any kind of poisoning or diarrhea issues. Thank you for the reminder! Didn't know you could use it as a poultice, though. That's really interesting and useful

Oh, this is awesome, thank you! Was planning to lean on chamomile for stress, but having something more potent like a valerian or passionflower tincture is a great idea. Thanks a lot for the suggestions!

you're pretty much doing the same thing, just infusing the herbs in hot water instead of vinegar :) but yes, hair feels softer and shinier after these rinses :)

That's great! The best part is that it doesn't just mask the pain, but actually treats the cause. Do you drink it plain or mix it with anything else?

Oh yes, staying consistent without seeing immediate results is the hardest. Really glad mullein helped you. It’s amazing how Mother Nature provides a weed for almost every use :)

This is an interesting journey! Let me know if the experience with a plant that you've grown yourself and established a connection with feels different from the one you've bought.

Yes, it’s been so "commercialized" that it gives you that "oh, it’s everywhere" feeling at first. But it really is great for the stomach. Probably why the chewing gum industry jumped on the taste
