Despite what many say, herbalism is NOT a lost art. We’ve been practicing herbalism all along because cooking IS herbalism and herbalism IS cooking.

This isn’t just a book—it’s revival, a resource, and an invitation to bring the healing power of nature into your daily life: to bring the outside inside. This book is a guide to building your own home apothecary, with over 200 remedies and recipes for teas, tinctures, and blends, alongside insights into the cultural, historical, and healing power of herbs. It’s perfect for beginners and seasoned herbalists alike!

Under the framework of Intercultural Revolutionary Herbalism (IRH), created by R. A. Massey (MICOPEIA BOTANICA’s Founder), we highlight the kitchen as the workshop, where generations of knowledge are passed down, and the table as the place where we share this medicine. Today, in the USA and thanks to the reach of the Internet, we can invite neighbors from different cultures to our tables, sharing and blending culinary formulations and recipes, stories, and forging new pathways into healing. This cross-pollination—the essence of America—allows us to truly extract the nourishment within our mighty melting pot. Through IRH, we honor ancestral practices while recognizing the powerful contributions of our brothers and sisters in Western medicine. Together, we are building a more holistic understanding of health and wellness, viewing it from a full 360-degree perspective.

This book also a tribute to the incredible pioneering herbalist mentors, Kim “Ki’i” Nakamura and Bill Brevoort, and the time R. A. spent learning with them in Hawaiʻi. This book honors their legacy and the lessons they so generously shared.

Whether you’re a tea lover, a curious beginner, or looking for a meaningful gift, this book has something for everyone.
