I'm a professional herbalist, teacher, and mentor in the Wise Woman Tradition—for over 30 years now.

As you know, it's essential to positively identify any plants you're harvesting for food or medicine.

First things first: Start with learning to identify the most poisonous plants in your area—the ones you want to avoid.

That way, you can also keep a lookout for them, especially when you're working with herbs that may look similar.

In this guide, I'll show how to identify 3 of the most common highly poisonous plants so you can stay safe in your herbal adventures.

As you deepen your understanding of the power of plants and the natural world, you're reweaving the lineage of natural healing that is our birthright as women, passed down since ancient times from mother to daughter. 

Happy wildcrafting!
