The Herbal Homestead Journal
The beloved Herbal Homestead Journal is filled with beautiful illustrations, this book brings you through each season of the year offering herbal wisdom, recipes, and advice to help you live a life of health, connected to the natural world around you.
Organized by month, each chapter offers articles related to health, nutrition, medicinal herb application, medicine making, seasonal self-care, and cooking.
Herbs and self-care practices shift with the seasons and therefore offer a tremendous opportunity to learn from nature. Our bodies go through the same cycles as the earth, daily, monthly, and yearly. The herbal homestead is a place to practice this art of living that we have become so disconnected from and to consequently reconnect with the cycles around and within us. Connecting and reconnecting with these processes is empowering, enlivening, energizing, and it builds confidence and trust in yourself and your body

Hi, my name is Brittany Wood Nickerson (she/her). I am an herbalist, astrologer, author, educator, and kitchen enthusiast. My approach emphasizes personal empowerment and evolution, healing personal and cultural narratives, holistic self-care, and intentional living. I started Thyme Herbal in 2008 and it has housed over 15-years of my work as an herbalist and educator. My approach to herbalism focuses on the use of bioregionally available herbs, which I integrate with traditional Western and Ayurvedic approaches to health, well-being, and the body. My cornerstone program, The Art of Home Herbalism Online, represents my primary values as an herbalist and healer and my larger vision for herbalism in our culture – sharing the skills and knowledge to practice herbal medicine for preventative wellness, self-care, and common ailments at home. While this program is currently the only in-depth herbal training program that I offer, for many years it served as the first-year in a three-year program training those on the path to becoming practicing, clinical herbalists. I also currently offer a series of mini-courses in herbalism and kitchen medicine.
I am the author of Recipes from the Herbalist’s Kitchen, The Herbal Homestead Journal, Sacred & Mysterious, Cooking for Winter Health Wellness, and Spring Cleaning, as well as a series of herbal medicine and self-care posters that I make in collaboration with my dear friend, artist and illustrator, Chelsea Granger. Please visit the “Shop” page to learn more about my books and posters!
While I no longer maintain an active clinical herbal practice, I am passionate about my online programs and I hope you will join the cohort! My current consulting work is as an astrologer and ceremonialist. You can learn more about my current offerings at BrittanyWoodNickerson.com.
