Welcome!
The North American Institute of Medical Herbalism was established in 1989 in Portland, Oregon. We began publishing the Medical Herbalism Journal that year. Our Medical Herbalism Journal was the first publication in the modern era to focus entirely on the education and concerns of the medical level clinical practitioner, providing needed support at a time when hands-on clinical training of herbalists was almost non-existent in North America. Medical Herbalism Journal was published as a printed publication from 1989 until 2014, and has featured articles by some of the leading clinical herbalists in North America during that time.
Why There Is No Paywall
For twenty-five years, more than forty professional herbalists, clinicians, and educators contributed their knowledge and clinical experience to the Medical Herbalism journal. Their motivation was to teach, to share what they had learned in decades of clinical practice to reach the next generation of practitioners. These authors were never paid for this labor of love and mission. Honoring their original motivations and intentions, this archive is free to the public, without registration, without paywall, for future generations.
How to Use this Journal
We have organized this journal by Health Topic and individual Journal Articles. Each Health Topic contains a list of related articles, texts, educational programs, and audio lectures that all pertain to that topic.
Each Journal Article has been assigned a number that will be referenced in the Health Topics.
The Medical Herbalism Journal is searchable using our website search bar located at the top of each page on our website header. You can search herb names (both common and latin), health conditions, parts of the body and more.
