Begin your own Materia Medica by creating your first herb study at our Open House! Use one of these free templates that will be available at the Herbally Yours Open House. What is a Materia Medica? It’s an important tool to help you learn about the herbs in your home herbal apothecary. You will record general information about the herb such as its botanical and common names, what it looks like, and where it grows. Information on growing, harvesting, and preserving herbs is also included. Important information such as uses, preparations, actions, and safety information are also included. The templates posted below will be provided at the Open House along with reference books so you can see how much you can learn about herbal medicine through journaling and creating your own Materia Medica. Bring your children that are old enough to write. There will be resources and an herbalist available to guide you through creating your first herbal page. You can take a template home so you can make copies and add to your Materia Medica one herb at a time.

Remember – Ask to join the private Facebook page Herbally Yours to learn more about herbs, making herbal remedies, and more!
I would love to obtain a copy of the materia medica template shown in the fist picture. Is it possible to purchase a pdf or other printable form.
Thanks so much!

Tracy, Here is the link to Herbal roots zine, a wonderful site filled with information and activities for children to learn about herbs. The template in photo one is one of the “freebies” on her site. Here is the link: http://www.herbalrootszine.com/Herbal-Page-Template.pdf
Also, I will be having another Open House on Saturday September 23rd where we will use the templates and a variety of herb books to create an herbal monograph. There will be several activities for children as well. It would be wonderful to see you there. You could request to join my Facebook group Herbally Yours to stay updated about the Open Houses and other herbal information. https://www.facebook.com/groups/HerballyYours/
Thanks so much for the link. I wish I could join you for the Open House, however I live in TX so that is not possible. I did request to join your fb group. You have some great information. Thanks so much for sharing!!
