Connecting with nature has helped me nurture a better relationship with myself while learning how to understand and respect things that are outside of myself. That is why I decided to choose plants for this particular project. At that time, I realized the healing benefits that holistic options offered. It made me feel better to use what I believe mother nature has provided for us to use in these medicinal ways. Rather than feeding into corporations that monopolize medicine, we need to take a look at options that aren’t always commercialized. Not that I don’t think pharmaceutical products genuinely work, because I do. However, there are ways to save, use healthier products, and connect with our roots by substituting chemicals for the earth.
