Welcome, and thank you for being here. 🌿

My name is Ingrid, and I am an Earth Medicine Practitioner—a student and practitioner of Ayurveda with a deep love for herbalism. What began as a simple curiosity about how plants could support health and healing soon blossomed into a lifelong path of study, practice, and devotion.

From the beginning, I was fascinated by the folk healing traditions of the Ozarks and Appalachia—the way simple plants and remedies were used with reverence to support everyday life. Over time, my journey led me deeper into Ayurveda, the ancient Indian science of life, which has since captured my heart completely. Ayurveda’s timeless wisdom has given me new ways of understanding balance, healing, and the sacred connection between nature and the human spirit.

Ayurveda teaches us that nature already provides everything we need for balance and vitality. Each herb carries its own unique energy, qualities, and wisdom. When prepared with care—through teas, tinctures, oils, or food—they can gently restore harmony to body, mind, and spirit.

This space is where I share what I’ve learned about Ayurvedic herbs: their properties, their uses, and how they can be woven into everyday life. My intention is to make this ancient knowledge accessible and practical, so you feel empowered to work with herbs not just as remedies, but as daily allies for well-being.

I believe herbalism is more than medicine—it is a living relationship with the natural world. Every leaf, root, and flower reminds us that we belong to something greater, and that true healing arises when we live in alignment with nature’s rhythms.

Whether you are just beginning to explore herbal remedies or seeking to deepen your connection with Ayurveda, I am honored to walk this journey with you.

With warmth and gratitude,
