40+ Herbs for Your Home Apothecary
Begin building your home apothecary with Mamma Ti’s Materia Medica, a foundational guide featuring more than 40 primarily Western medicinal herbs selected to provide a well-rounded introduction to the major body systems.
This is not intended to be a complete materia medica, but rather a thoughtfully curated starting point for students and beginning herbalists who want to develop a practical relationship with medicinal plants. Each herb explores its traditional actions and common uses, helping you build a strong foundation for further study and hands-on herbal practice.
True to Mamma Ti style, this guide goes beyond the clinical.
Alongside the scientific and medicinal properties of each plant, you’ll discover its folklore, history, magic, spiritual properties, traditional practices, and connections to the gods and goddesses of old. These stories help bring each plant to life and invite you to experience herbs not simply as remedies, but as living members of a much larger botanical and cultural tradition.
Whether you're beginning your herbal studies, creating your first home apothecary, or deepening your connection with traditional herbalism, Mamma Ti’s Materia Medica offers a practical and soulful foundation for your journey.
Please note: This Materia Medica is a foundational educational resource and is not a complete reference to all medicinal herbs. It is intended to accompany and support the associated coursework and is a mandatory resource for those enrolled in the certification courses.
