Herbalism is the study of pharmacognosy and the use of medicinal plants, which are a basis of traditional medicine. 

The College of Medicine and Healing Arts offers a Diploma in Herbal and Naturopathic Medicine programme in the UK and internationally for those who wish to practise Unani Tibb as a professional. The training provided by the College is some of the most authentic training of Unani Tibb, provided in traditional practices incorporating appropriate modern knowledge and skills.

Plant Communication Technologies

In the past few years, artists, scientists and tech nerds have all experimented with plant communication. It was recently discovered that plants communicate with the external world through electromagnetic currents, and natural processes of biochemistry in order to express thirst, to attract specific insects that protect it from harm, and to stimulate processes with other plants.  Microsoft’s artist in residence program hosted Helen Steiner’s Project Florence in 2015-16 https://coolhunting.com/tech/project-florence-microsoft-research-talking-to-plants-communication/  In this project, Helen and supportive team monitor multiple factors in comparison to stimuli translated from words and phrases common to gardening, in order to give the plant “language” and allow for a dialogue between the viewer and the plant.  Leslie Garcia’s 2013 project Pulsu(m) Plantae https://vimeo.com/62232734 translates plant response to stimuli into musical patterns. More recent project, Landscapes https://vimeo.com/303567928 translates bacterial growth into synthesis based music and visualizations. 

As we continue to experiment with technology in order to find common ground with plants, it is also important to note that intuitive plant communication has been in practice for millennia among cultures globally. As biologist and herbalist Stephen Buhner states in his book, The Secret Teachings of Plants, “By locating our consciousness in only one biological oscillator, the brain, we blinded ourselves to perceptions that have been common to human beings since they emerged from this Earth. In gaining a reductionist understanding of the world, we lost touch with the essential nature of the Earth and ourselves.” Interestingly, the sciences only lead us back to these intuitive understandings of plants. My grandmother, a master gardener and biologist, has always taught her students to listen to our plant companions. That when we think of watering them, they are giving us the signal to do so. This has been confirmed by scientific study - that plants, when parched, will send out a signal asking for water.

Indigenous and intuitive herbalists and shamans describe their practices of intuitive communication with plants quite clearly - that the plants quite literally speak to them, to tell them of their healing properties. In the Amazon for instance, there are 17 different species of Ayahuasca. When asked how they differentiate the species, indigenous Amazonians stated that “they each sing a different note on the full moon.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-76720-8_11 Many indigenous shamanistic practices speak of the song of plants, and modern western intuitive and spiritual herbalists describe the same experiences.
