Welcome to the Herbal Hive!

Welcome to The Herbal Hive!

We aim to support and encourage writing about herbalism. If you're using plants for healing of body, mind and spirit, then you're a herbalist, and we'd love to hear from you! We'll be running challenges and curating your awesome content, and we're super excited to be in a position to support you where we can!

We believe that an understanding of herbs and plants and how they can support us are essential to an abundant and well nourished life. Connection with the natural world can help us heal and be resilient, independent and conscious beings who walk lightly on the earth with love. As anyone who's worked with herbs will attest, herbs are incredible ways to connect with spirit, nourish our families, feel supported in life, and be at peace.

We welcome all your stories!

We Are Supported by the LOTUS token - a token for alternative health on HIVE

Rules for Posting in Our Community

• We prefer single language posts, preferably English. This is both for aesthetic reasons (we like people outside HIVE to read our posts, and dual language can be confusing) and because we have English speaking curators! Saying that, if you are dual language blogger, please make sure you put English first and have an English only title.)
• Be kind
• Please post original content - if your content is easily found on the internet, we reserve the right to mute it.
• Please no blurry images or poor content - we hold you to high standards and will mute both plagiarism and poor content without warning and reserve the right to do so!

Other Tags We Support

We also welcome the secondary use of the tags #fungilovers, #holoslotus, #hivegardens, #gardenjournal, #abundancetribe and others that are related to the broad theme of herbalism.

Use of Images

We welcome you to use our yarrow page divider and our footer below. If you'd like a personalised herbal footer with an image of your choice, please send a small HIVE amount in a memo to @thehiveherbal with your request and we'll get in touch with a beautiful footer for you!
