This first-of-its-kind herbal guide takes you through the origins of herbal practices rooted in African American tradition - from Ancient Egypt and the African tropics to the Caribbean and the USA. Inside you' ll find the stories of healers like Emma Dupree and Henrietta Jeffries, who made modern American herbalism what it is today. After rediscovering the forgotten legacies of these healers, African American Herbalism dives into the important contributions they made to the world of herbalism. You' ll also find a comprehensive guide to the most commonly used herbs, alongside gorgeous botanical illustrations.
With a journey that began when she was just a little girl mixing herbs, clays, and muds on her grandparents' farm, Lucretia VanDyke has had a lifelong connection to plants. She' s been in the wellness industry for over 20 years, working as a holistic esthetician and educator. Lucretia has worked and trained with many internationally known spa and skin care companies. Her quest for knowledge and interest in the traditional approach to wellness has led her to training extensively in Southeast Asia, Thailand, and Bali. Lucretia focuses on integrating indigenous healing rituals, plant spirit medicine, holistic approaches to food/herbal medicine, ancestor reverence, and meditation into your modern daily practice.
