Liz Johnson Bio:  Herbalism is both an ancient and a modern healing art exploring the inner secrets of herbs and how they work with the body to enhance health.

All around the world herbalism has been practiced for millennia. Many healing traditions have collected empirical knowledge about herbal healing for untold centuries. Studying these traditions and bringing ancient knowledge from around the world together into one practice has been a life long process for me.

Herbalism is also a modern healing art exploring the inner secrets of herbs and how they react to the body and with medications. Using scientific studies to enhance the traditional knowledge of herbalism and using the theoretical models of herb to drug interaction results in a more cautious and safe approach to herbalism.

Blending knowledge from healing traditions and modern research is the heart of my practice—Medicinal Herbalism.
