One of the things we love about communities on HIVE is the writing challenges that are posed, forcing us to think about how we feel about certain topics. With this in mind, we'd like to present a writing challenge to tide you over until next month's 'De-Tox' challenge!
We'd love to hear your thoughts about this quote:
"Herbal medicine's been around for thousands of years!" Indeed it has, and then we tested it all, and the stuff that worked became 'medicine'. And the rest of it is just a nice bowl of soup and some potpourri. — Dara O Briain
Dara O Briain of course is an Irish comedian, but a lot of comedy can point to inherent truths, or at least force us to contemplate our own feelings about something. Sometimes quotes like this are downright infuriating - and some times they are golden gems of wisdom and insight!
Is this how YOU feel about the world of herbalism? Is it simply rosemary on potatoes or some nice smelling dried plants in a bowl? Or is it much more than that?
Please drop your links below - answers accepted right up to the end of the month! If you'd like to simply drop your thoughts as a comment, that's awesome too - community engagement is part of what makes this little corner of HIVE as lovely as it is.

LOL... I am literally planning a herbal hive post about the request that we make and sell potpourri.... too funny how the synchronicities of life work sometimes... 🤣
Haha classic, love it!!
And here it is... the long awaited Potpourri post. I've learned A LOT in preparing both this new product and accepting the writing challenge. Eternally grateful for being pushed as a life-long-learner.
