Revolutionary Mental Health including 31 herbs

Most of Turtle Island is experiencing some kind of mental health issue and most of them are caused by colonialism and capitalism. There is a clinical term called “eco anxiety” that is becoming more prevalent either that or health officials of western medicine can no longer ignore it. Isolation due to covid has also played a role by creating barriers to social interaction. As revolutionaries we have a responsibility to the collecting to keep our mental health in the best condition possible. Everyone should be in an organization but even if you’re not your still on the peripheral of the movement and share this same responsibility to maintain mental health. You might seek traditional healing thru ceremony or see a councilor. You might also join I.S.R who have a once-a-week group counseling session where we help each other maintain and heal, we include tips on how we are getting thru difficult times. We find it beneficial for people in the movement to have access to mental health independent of the colonial government. We are struggling to build an apparatus that can rival the system and that includes having our own mental health program. Several of us have experience with drug and alcohol recovery and are open to assisting with that for our members as well. We have included a list of herbs you might find helpful for mental health. We are all struggling so make sure you do your part and be responsible with your mental health. We can’t all get depressed at the same time and use that as an excuse to stop organizing. and organizing is what we should be doing now more than ever. Aromatherapy is work looking into. Get plenty of exercise. Try smudge. Tune in don’t tune out.
