Welcome To VBA Blog!

Welcome to Vida Botanical Blog! I am excited to open this space to connect with you all and explore herbalism and aromatherapy together! There’s always so much to learn! I have been experimenting with essential oils since 1992, and my first memory of plants as medicinal herbs was when I was a little girl. My grandmother would go out to the garden and pick peppermint and make tea for me when I had an upset stomach. I was hooked on plants then!

On this journey together, we'll explore in detail some of my favorite herbs and essential oils, learn about the history and ancient practice of herbalism and aromatherapy, learn fascinating facts about the human body, and share gardening and cooking tips and recipes.

I believe that true wellness is more than just physical health since we are truly embodied souls—it's about finding balance across all aspects of life.

If you're looking to connect with the ancient craft of botanical therapies, you're in the right place. I’m looking forward to getting started!
