Resources

Providing self-sustainable, botanical and integrative health care answers to underserved populations around the world, and preparing local communities for self-reliance in disaster and post-disaster situations.

Herbal Medics Boston is the first local chapter of the Herbal Medics non-profit. Our focus is to build a sustainable team of local responders, well-trained in first aid and emergency response skills, herbalism and community health care, and primitive engineering skills to assist in a post-disaster scenario.

If you’d like to be part of the team, or just to learn some skills that will help you be more self-sufficient if disaster strikes, contact us for more information, or come to one of our events – you’ll find a listing below!
