Unlike herbalism or plant medicine, which focus on the chemical properties of plants to cure specific symptoms of illness or disease, Plant Spirit Medicine is a healing approach that focuses on the relationship between humans and plants as spiritual entities. A practitioner of Plant Spirit Medicine is less likely to focus on curing symptoms, but rather the underlying spiritual imbalance within an individual. Plant Spirit Medicine relies on approaching plants with respect and an interest in being open to a relationship with them as entities that have, as species, usually been around much longer than humans and may be connected to the Divine in ways we can’t perceive.
