D and C. 42:43 Herbology

"And whosoever among you are sick, and have not faith to be healed, but believe, shall be nourished with all tenderness, with herbs and mild food, and that not by the hand of an enemy." D and C. 42:43

Herbs are a rich tradition of many faiths. Trusting in our own saints, prophets, medicine people, healers and above all our own personal understanding of God is a crucial part of our health.

In my tradition Apostle Willard Richards prophecied that the principles of herbology "would never die out or cease until it had revolutionized the earth." (Priddy Meeks Journal, p.31 as cited through Ogden Kraut's 95 These)

I encourage you to seek out the tradition of herbal use in your own faith, to trust in what the earth provides us to heal and to join the revolution :)
