Collection: HERBALIA - Traditional herbs, roots, flower & plants

By education and first professional trade, I am an anthropologist. I keep practicing a bit of  professional research on the side. I am also active in diverse projects (academic, cultural, on the field, etc- on several continents). When I move around and / or collaborate with people from new places and latitudes, I love taking space for exploring the things I love, which include local use of plants, from food to folk medicine or ritual uses.

I am in awe ant the cultural uses of aromatics and other natural substances in the history of wo/mankind, so I constantly (as time allows) try research through printed literature, online sources and of course on the field to discover new things, some of which I archive, some of which I keep using and study and finally some I start sourcing seriously on a bigger scale,

Here a few selected wonderful and uncommon / little known such products.

All those I stumbled upon them through different projects and started integrating happily and regularly in my own life before adding them here.
