Have you ever heard of herbal affinities?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affinities are an alternative to just memorizing herbal facts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

I love reading herbal books. But for the everyday mom who just wants to use a more natural approach to every day aches & pains and minor injuries, trying to memorize all the herbal information out there is a daunting task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No doubt there’s a ton of information available when you’re trying to start using herbs on a regular basis. But you don’t have to memorize everything about every herb to be able to use herbal remedies to help you and your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you don\u2019t need to know every herb either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plants are diverse and have a wide variety of uses. In herbal circles they always say it’s better to know a lot about a few herbs than a little about a lot of herbs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plants you have growing near and around you and in your own yard will probably provide most of what you\u2019ll ever need (provided they haven’t been sprayed with anything).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if there’s a plant you want that doesn’t grow near you, there’s plenty of places where you can find it. We’re really lucky to have so many providers across the country that you can order what you can’t forage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affinities are one little secret that can help you find the remedy you need to help your family.  It’s a way to narrow down the choices of which plant you might want to use for a specific remedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a way to learn which herb or herbs you can use without having to learn every detail about it. If you know the affinity you can choose 1 or 2 and then research the details for specifics.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What is a plant\u2019s affinity.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While most plants can do a lot of different things for us, most usually have a specific affinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s an affinity?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An affinity refers to a plant’s tendency to support a specific organ or organ system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That support could be in the form of building and nourishing or balancing and strengthening.  And it can mean that it helps to soothe or heal tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some plants that have an affinity for more than one organ or organ system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s just a few examples of affinities.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
