Exploring traditional plant knowledge is exciting. However, it’s important to respect it by validating and testing it in your own life. The ancestors were flawed as are modern humans.
Their knowledge was contextual and rooted in a specific time and place.
This knowledge came from the same process; repeated personal encounters, careful observation, and a willingness to let go.
If personal experience shows something different from accepted norms, discard it. Knowledge isn’t a museum piece.
Traditional ecological knowledge is not an end point; it is a process, a continuum.
What plant knowledge have you accepted without questioning instead of exploring it?
