Basics & Introduction to Vaporization
I have made it my mission to make medicinal plant vaporization, or phytoinhalation or vaporization, better known and to research it further and would like to pass on my knowledge to you with my website and my YouTube channel.
In this playlist you will learn about my journey with medicinal plant vaporization.
There are many advantages to using natural medicine. I briefly explain why and how evaporation works in the body in this video:
If you are looking for a suitable vaporizer for vaporizing medicinal plants, then this video can give you some information:
(If you want to know why I don't sell vaporizers, read to the end of this page...)
I am often asked "How often can you vaporize medicinal plants?" or "How long will 5 grams of plant material last?".
Unfortunately, there are no general answers, because it depends on various factors how much plant material is needed and how often a symptom in the body should be treated.
In this video I will give you information about the criteria that are used to make this decision:
On my YouTube channel you will also find numerous videos about:
- Medicinal plants and how to grow and harvest them yourself (Playlist: Plant Portraits)
- Blends and recipes with medicinal plants that you can vaporize together (Playlist: Blends)
- and videos about my experiences and development with the topic (Playlist: About me)
Overview of application areas
On this page I have created an overview of the fields of application (sorted alphabetically). Here you can research your physical complaints and find corresponding medicinal plants that can be used for treatment.
Are you new to the field and have (many) questions?
Then I recommend my introductory online workshop . There I will explain everything to you, give you a rough overview of the possible uses and vaporizer selection and answer your individual questions.
What books are there on the subject?
A few years ago there was a team that researched the topic and developed one of the first vaporizers for it. They left us a book: "Phytho-Inhalation, Medicinal Herbs and Vaporizers, Introduction to Gentle Inhalation - Ed. Frank Fuchs". (If you are looking for it... Unfortunately this book is currently not available in stores ☹)
When I was faced with a challenge (I talk about it in my video on parsley root), I wanted to track down someone from the team and found out that none of those who were studying the effects of medicinal plants were still alive.
In the German-speaking world, I only know of this one book.
I am currently working on a publication and plan to introduce the plants and their effects, as well as a handbook that is sorted by disease pattern/areas of application. I cannot yet say whether this will result in one or two books.
The Plant Subscription Theke
If you cannot or do not want to grow your medicinal plants yourself, you can purchase them in vaporizer quality from my online shop.
Why I don’t sell vaporizers…
I am often asked which vaporizer I can recommend and whether they are available in my online shop???
The selection of devices is large and it is not easy to work your way through the jungle of offers. After all, not many are suitable for vaporizing medicinal plants because only a few have a temperature range of 100 to 235 degrees.
In a video (see above) I have compiled my experiences with vaporizing medicinal plants and give you criteria on what you should pay attention to when buying.
I have also listed the devices that I like to use in the video description. However, I don't want this to be understood as an advertisement for the products, because I would like to reserve the right to try them out "neutrally" and that is only possible if I don't have to fulfill any advertising contracts.
But why don’t I sell devices?
Firstly, because the legal situation in Germany imposes a lot of restrictions on the sale of tobacco/drug products... and unfortunately there is no distinction made as to what kind of device is involved. Every vaporizer, regardless of whether it is for tobacco or medicinal herbs, automatically falls under this category. (... the mere fact that I use the word "vaporizer" on this website always leads to Paypal checking payments and not forwarding them immediately.)
And secondly, because there are enough other providers who cover this area and equip you with good equipment and are much more competent in this area than I am 😉.
So I prefer to focus on deepening my knowledge of the effects of medicinal plants through vaporization and offer you the medicinal plants in vaporizer quality.
This is my passion and I enjoy being able to share it with many of you!
Your Mirjam
