It is easy to “Poo Poo” those things that they do not understand. Many of our modern medicines began with herbal remedies and many remedies are being used by other than witches. Yet, put herbs and witch in the same sentence…..you get the ignorant pooing all over the place!

from one wiccan to another…

Ariel, not everyone that uses herbs as natural medicine is a witch. My grandmother passed down to me all her knowledge on herbal use, for medicine and beauty as well- even to dye clothing and use as well in my candles.
She was not a witch, rather had a talent that she was born with, but no one ever saw her a a witch, rather like a natural healer that is all, oh yeah… I forgot she was catholic through and through

Herbs have a discusting taste to me, I do not take them. Me I do not feel threatend by wiccans. No no more. I have learnt better and you know that. My healing the only one I need is my stress and depression, nothing else. But I guess that takes a huge step of faith. But when I go home I will not have this stess and depression. When I leave this earth I will not carry depression with me, as there is none of that in Heaven. I cannot wait to go home, I guess you cannot balme me hey? But I will have to waint a little while yet, and be patient.

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim - In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Healing with herbs is not abhorrent to me. Allah gave us plants and herbs and the other living things of the earth to use for our benefit. It is the fact that pagans do not appreciate Allah who created the universe and thank Him for what he has given that believers in Him find abhorrent. Why worship the creation instead of the Creator? May Allah guide you to that which is best in this world and the next. Ameen.

They do not understand that many modern medicines came from the healing herbs first. Asperin comes to mind.
By the way it is just thursday here in Texas. I guess we are 24 hours behind y’all.

personally, i admire it!! i’ve tried to learn herbal remedies and even just the basics for minor things are somewhat difficult. it’s all very complicated, the various forms one can use (tinctures, teas, oils, etc), which parts of the plants to use for what purpose, and there’s such a variety of things that will work to varying degrees in a given circumstance with different side-effects / benefits… and so many herbs have a multitude of characteristics that can be used for many ailments…
kudos to whomever can heal with that which nature provides!
I can only wish that i had that talent!

Does not annoy me. I simply do not place much confidence in the effect, were I am from “Druids” were the closest things to doctors at one point, and there is a lot of science to back up the effects of some herbs they used for specific ailments.

My point is: In their time Druids were fine doctors, but now I believe modern medicine should be approached 1st.

Note: I like herbs.

You know I find it funny that since you mentioned healing, witch and herb in the same sentence people automatically think you mean magick. I would have thought people would know that using herbs for healing had nothing to do with magick. It shows that they truly don’t understand how witches work.

To be Honest Prophet Mohammed(pbuh) has given us many remedies for aliments that are from herbs and herbal medication. How ever I don’t think he was saying a spell or anything. I know he would glide his hand over his wives when ill reciting the Quran and heel them like this. It does not scare me to use herbal medication. Black Cumin seed is great.
