I have spent the last seven years studying herbal medicine and there is an ocean of knowledge still before me. My teachers have been primarily those studied and steeped in Appalachian, Jewish (Ashkenazi), Cherokee (Anigiduwagi), Lakota, pagan, Chinese (TCM), and/or African diasporic (primarily Caribbean) medicines. I have learned from many traditions and teachers, whose names I hold close to my heart (Karen Rose, Leah Larabell, Mama Tortuga) and those names I have sadly forgotten or never knew. It is against my ethics as a white person to ever charge** for herbal medicine because almost all of the deeply rooted knowledges I have absorbed are from cultures other than my own ancestral or cultural lineage. I strive to be generous with the knowledge I carry about plant medicine, as those teachers were generous in sharing their knowledge with me. I can offer information on herbal infusions, salves, and tinctures to support somatic ailments or protections, primarily basing my recommendations off of abundant, locally sourced plants and/or fungi. In many cases, I can share teas and tinctures I have already prepared. I also often consult with herbalists in my network as an accountability practice, and I will always provide contraindications for any herbs I share information about. Please email me at alexandrakaxel[at]gmail.com if you’d like to consult about herbal protocols or catch me handing out teas at distro with Solidarity Jersey City.
