About Us

Spoonful Herbals is committed to the movement for racial and social justice, manifesting as a nationwide uprising against a very long history of racism and white supremacy in our dominant culture and, unfortunately, even in herbalism.

We acknowledge that we are occupying land that is the unceded territory of the Abenaki people, and that the wealth and success of white people has been violently accumulated through the exploitation of black and brown bodies and their cultural traditions. Herbalism, when conducted by white herbalists with ignorance of Eurocentrism, institutional racism, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) histories, and cultural appropriation, runs the risk of contributing to racism and perpetuating harm.

At Spoonful Herbals we are committed to the ongoing work of decolonizing ourselves and the field of community herbalism. Herbalism can also be a movement to combat oppression and dispossession and to heal the fragmentation and unworthiness created by centuries of settler colonialism and capitalism on this earth- we strive to practice herbal medicine through this lens everyday.
