My favorite (Healing) Artists

Who are your favorite (healing) artists?

Since this blog is primarily about herbalism and holistic healing arts, I thought I’d answer the question from that perspective. After all, it takes a lot of creativity to mend the body, mind and soul.

Over the course of my career I’ve come across many historical healers that amazed and inspired me. For the most part, I’ve not met any of them, except through literature they wrote, or the legacy they etched into history books. Check the links for more info about them!

Zhang Zhongjing – one of the most prominent practitioners of Chinese medicine.

Nicholas Culpeper – a poetic, eccentric herbalist who used astrology to elucidate the medicinal function of plants.

Mikio Sankey – a modern practitioner of acupuncture that has developed a unique approach of combining sacred geometry, chakras and other spiritual techniques to heal the soul & body.

Yoshio Manaka – a Japanese doctor and acupuncturist, who originated many theories and novel approaches to healing the body.

BKS Iyengar – a dedicated yogi who brought his wisdom and experience to the whole world.

Dane Rudhyar – a master astrologer, who delved deep into the celestial aspects of the psyche.

The list could go on…! Who are some of your favorite healing artists?
