7 Song
7Song has been enamored with herbalism since the early 80’s. He sees herbal medicine as an excellent blending of two favorite activities: studying nature and helping community.
From the community end, 7Song is director and teaches at the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine in Ithaca, NY – an endeavor he began in 1992 and a learning experience within itself.

7Song has been enamored with herbalism since the early 80’s. He sees herbal medicine as an excellent blending of two favorite activities: studying nature and helping community.
From the community end, 7Song is director and teaches at the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine in Ithaca, NY – an endeavor he began in 1992 and a learning experience within itself. He also practices as a Western Clinical Herbalist at the Ithaca Free Clinic, which is one of a few integrated free clinics with an herbalist on staff. This has been an excellent avenue to help make herbal medicine more affordable, accessible, and to help those who know little of it.
On the naturalist side, he would like to know the names of all the living things he encounters. For a long time now as a botanist studying plants and lately learning the names of insects and reptiles, (whom I have admired since I was a wee thing). 7Song also likes to take photos, accurately label them, and present them to the public on his website and on Facebook.
7Song appreciates all that being an herbalist brings: spending time with good folks, traveling, meeting plants, wildcrafting, preparing medicines, treating people and trying to bring all the elements together to gain a better understanding of this ancient and modern medical skill.

Herbalists and Herbalism at Free Clinics
This is an informal talk for herbalists interested in bringing herbal medicine to free clinics. It will focus on my work at the Ithaca Free Clinic over the past 5 years and will include practical suggestions such as how to procure medicines, working with patients, working with staff, making patients’ medicines, useful equipment, and the like. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers.
Plants Around Us – A Walk through the 4-H Center
