Insight Simples are a carefully curated dispensary of single herbs chosen to support a deepening connection to your wellbeing in daily life.
Plants are our ancestors, our true kin and original medicine.
Finding magic in the mundane
Insight Simples merge the practical traditional medicinal use of a herb, with insight guidance of how to connect to the plant beyond the ‘fixing’ mentality, deepen your relationship with the plants and with yourself - the plants become doorways to deeper understanding of life itself.
‘Simples’ is the term used within medical herbalism when a single herb is being prescribed for an ailment.
‘Insight Herbalism’ is the practice of coming into direct relationship with plants, to discover more about them and about ourselves.
By refining our perception of what we need, we can hone our ability to notice, understand and interpret subtle nuances within ourselves, gaining a clearer understanding of what serves us.
All of the plants in this dispensary have deep roots in my own personal experience.
At the core of our health is relationship; both with others, ourselves the plants and the land.
It is my desire that more people rewaken and come back into contact with the innate and ancient wisdom of the plants, how they feel in our bodies and can support and nourish our daily lives.
The guides that come with each of the herbs are a starting point to help you to discover these relationships for yourself. To understand how and why a plant may support you and ignite your own journey of using your own intuition to support yourself and those you love.
