How strange it would be to be a pharmacist or a physician...

I often think about how strange it would be to be a pharmacist or a physician.

I imagine how odd (and I would say, in this thought experiment, unnerving is the word that comes to mind) it would be to prescribe medications and interventions to people that you would, 90% of the time, never experience. 

(That isn't a criticism- I feel so much compassion for that...The severity and intensity of their tool kit and its inaccessibility is disorienting from where I'm sitting as a practitioner.)

I can only speak from what I know and I am consistently grateful that I have been able to ingest every single herbal medicine I have given to my clients.

I know my tool kit in and out and my understandings deepen and grow every day with continued personal experimentation.

I know how the formula will feel for my clients (hypothetically as all people have different metabolic rates and genetic processing capacity).

I can't tell you how empowering, important, and solidifying it can be to be able to share that experience with my people as I care for them.

That's all.
