Herbalism supports the human body and encourage balance between the body, mind and spirit. While not as "quick and easy" as more conventional forms of medicine, the action of preparing a salve, tincture, decoction, or even a simple cup of herbal tea can also be a form of medicine. The process of creating an herbal preparation with care and purpose can also relate to the action of fabricating a tool meant to prepare or administer that preparation. The tools and jewelry pieces I make as a metalsmith and an herbalist, along with the research and evidence provided in this paper will work to describe what herbalism is and how we can use herbal methods to incorporate wellness into daily life.application/pdfenMetals DesignMetalsmithHerbalismHerbalMedicinal HerbsMaterial StudiesMateria MedicaHerbal ResearchContemporary JewelryArt JewelryHerbal ImplementsChampleve EnamelTorch-Fired EnamelGraphite on EnamelHerbs in artMedicine in artHerbs--Therapeutic use--ArtMaster's Thesis2019-06-11
