This is one of the most misunderstood mushrooms on earth. You’ve seen it in fairy tales, but almost everything you’ve heard about it is wrong.

For centuries, Amanita muscaria has walked the edge between medicine and myth. In the boreal forests of Siberia and Northern Europe, it was used by shamans and medicine people to journey between worlds, seeking healing and vision.

Its scarlet cap became a symbol of transformation—appearing in stories of reindeer, winter solstice, and even the roots of our modern Santa Claus mythology. Beneath that folklore lies deep pharmacology: drying converts part of its ibotenic acid into muscimol, a compound that works on GABA and muscarinic receptors to calm the nervous system and alter consciousness.

Amanita reminds us that the boundary between poison and medicine is often one of relationship, not chemistry. It asks us to approach nature with respect, curiosity, and care.

It is the bridge between worlds.

When I was younger, I thought healing meant becoming something “official.” But over time, the plants taught me that healing doesn’t always wear a white coat. It happens in the soil, the kitchen, the apothecary, and the quiet moments of observation.

Being an herbalist isn’t about titles or credentials—it’s about remembering what it means to be in relationship with life itself. To listen deeply. To care intentionally. To live in rhythm with the earth, not apart from it.

That’s what I want to be when I grow up.

Becoming a clinical herbalist isn’t about memorizing what herbs are “good for.” That approach doesn’t get very far. Many plants work across body systems, and their gifts can’t be reduced to single uses. Treating them this way is a leftover mindset from allopathic medicine, reductionist and mechanical. There’s nothing holistic about it.

Holistic herbalism is about learning to see the person behind the symptom. We never reduce a person to what’s wrong; we look for the patterns that shape their experience. Every body expresses imbalance differently, so our care has to be just as individual. That’s why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.

Goldenrod isn’t just “the herb for a sniffly nose.” Its story is so much more than that. Sure, it can ease the sniffles—but we can get more specific. Are the sniffles from allergies or a cold? What color is the mucus? What else is happening in the body? Goldenrod is also a urinary antimicrobial.

Plants carry a far greater intelligence than the Western world gives them credit for. When we learn to see them clearly—and to see the person before us just as clearly—that’s when herbalism starts to work.

Lessons the plants have taught me

The deeper I walk this path, the more I realize that herbalism isn’t something we do to the body. It’s something we learn in relationship with it.

Every plant teaches reciprocity. Healing isn’t something we take from them; it’s something we learn beside them. They remind us that the body already knows how to heal. It only needs space, attention, and trust to remember.

Formulation, to me, has always felt like prayer. A dialogue between the earth, the body, and intention. It’s less about finding the right herb and more about listening for the right harmony. It’s deeply relational.

And maybe that’s what this path keeps showing me. That healing isn’t a transaction or a fix. It’s a conversation. A remembering. A coming home.
