“Beyond thrilled for Lisa Fazio’s long-awaited book arrival! Della Medicina is a treasure trove of embodied wisdom and a timeless gift to the Italian diaspora. We (and our descendants) are so blessed to have her work for generations to come.”
A guide to folk herbal healing and reconnecting with ancestral traditions
includes plant preparation methods, medicines, rituals, recipes, kitchen magic, and protective magic
You’ll learn:
• healing techniques and folk wisdom taught to me by my Italian grandparents and healers in Southern Italy
• a materia medica of plants important in this tradition, with the history, mythology, and both practical and magical uses
• how working with traditional plant medicines can help you connect to and revitalize your own ancestral traditions for deep inner healing
Learn the Benedicaria practices of my Italian ancestors, which were simply a part of everyday life.
Benedicaria, which literally means “the Blessing Way” but is more often translated as “the things we do.”
WHERE TO ORDER:
“Cannot wait until my copy arrives! Lisa is not a wonderful teacher-she is brilliant and wise and her passion is contagious. When I was just starting my journey of ancestral connection and had no idea where to begin, she guided me thru her Della Medicina classes and conversations and it felt like a long lost Zia helping me connect to something that was always there. For myself and community, this is such an important work and art, and something I will treasure.”
