Integrity can be defined as the quality of being honest and maintaining strong moral & ethical values. Integrity can also be defined as ‘being whole’ or ‘undivided’. When it comes to our work as clinical herbalists, both of these definitions - the quality of maintaining our values but also the state of being whole or undivided - describe what it means to be a practicing herbalist, a colleague, and an entrepreneur.

For me, integrity goes beyond simply maintaining my moral and ethical values - I have also come to recognize integrity as a benevolent force that holds my wholeness together, especially at times when I truly believe I am at risk of being torn asunder.

In my experience, integrity is not something that we are just born with nor is it just given to us freely from some outside source. Instead it is hard-earned, forged from both the tribulations and celebrations of our human journeys.

One method is commonly overlooked, and that is the use of traditional European medical astrology- a method that was once standard training for all university trained physicians in the Renaissance era.

In this class, we’ll explore how exactly medical astrology can be used to further refine and clarify your understanding of what is occurring within your clients body, as well as possible connections to psychological, emotional and spiritual patterns in their health. This includes assessing the relative strengths, weaknesses, excesses and deficiencies of the organ systems, further clarifying the constitution and tissue states behind symptoms, and even providing insights into therapeutic solutions, including herbs, diet, lifestyle and more.

Join us on November 4th at 6 PM EST for the next installment of the Clinical Craft Series "Medical Astrology for the Clinical Herbalist" with Sajah Popham! Check out the Clinical Craft Series link in my bio for further information or leave some 🌿 in the comments to receive info in your DMs! 🫶

Marshmallow leaf and root are beloved and renown for their tonic effects on our mucous membranes. Both toning and soothing in its actions, Marshmallow fortifies the integrity of these tissues, supporting both their structure and function.

Our mucous membranes are integral to our immunity and the sanctity of our inner ecosystem. Often referred to as our first line of defense, our mucous membranes serve as the functional boundaries between our inner and the outer world. In this way, they protect and defend our integrity, our wholeness, and our capacity to discern what is for us and what is not.

This is why Marshmallow accompanies the theme of INTEGRITY this month in HPX.

Integrity can be defined as the quality of being honest and maintaining strong moral & ethical boundaries. Integrity can also be defined as ‘being whole’ or ‘undivided’.

When it comes to our work as clinical herbalists, both of these definitions - the quality of maintaining our values but also the state of being whole or undivided - describe what it means to be a practicing herbalist, a colleague, and an entrepreneur.

The Herbal Practice Connexion, or HPX, is a network. Within this network there are three main spaces, or rooms where all the action will be happening…The Consultation Room, The Apothecary, and the Office & Marketing Garden. These three rooms represent the professional facets of our work as clinical herbalists.

Within each of these rooms, you will find an events calendar which thematically offers exclusive opportunities to learn about new topics by participating in specialty trainings, live monthly meetups (what I am calling Pep Talks), online workshops and seminars with special guests, and even case review sessions with your host Erika Galentin MNIMH RH.

Each of these rooms also has its own roundtable feed that functions much like the social media feeds we are all familiar with…consider the roundtable a discussion forum where you can collaborate with colleagues, share resources, seek feedback, and ask questions.

We're currently running a *free 2-week trial* for HPX! Join today for access to these unique spaces, vast living resource libraries, and so much more! Check out the 🔗 in my bio for additional info.

In my experience, integrity is not something that we are just born with nor is it just given to us freely from some outside source. Instead it is hard-earned, forged from both the tribulations and celebrations of our human journeys.

I have found that integrity is something that I have to ‘feel’ and ‘self-regulate’ into - like a strong river current seeking the sea. For me, integrity is not just conceptual or simply behavioral…as a compassionate, protective force that flows within me, it is also somatic.
