This zine is intended as a practical guide to some of the topics that common herbal education tends to not cover—primarily, how to make and use herbal medicine on a low-to-nothing budget. Think of it as a “quick start guide” to summarize the information I personally think beginner herbalists should have—It is not the be-all end-all of herbal knowledge, nor should this be taken as gospel truth: Just one anonymous herbalist’s methods, opinions and philosophies. There is
some information on specific herbs included, but generally I wrote this zine under the assumption you would use it to seek out information from other sources (with tips on doing that for free included!). The rest of this introduction is some basic philosophy about the function and practice of herbalism as an art and as anarchy—feel free to skip it if it doesn’t interest you.
