Herbal Aide is a non-profit based organization founded to document, inspire and fund grassroots herbal projects/businesses that are working towards creating positive, sustainable social change. The Herbal Aide documentary features herbalists who are using their passion for plants as a tool to support their community in health and healing and will be shown at herb conferences and schools in 2012.
Filming begins November 2010 and will be finished by Spring 2012. The film will be screened across the country at herb conferences, schools, and community centers. Proceeds from film sales will go to the Herbal Aide Grant Fund. This fund will award grant recipients $1000-$5000. Activities that will be supported by The Herbal Aide Grant Fund are: Free Herbal Clinics, Herbal Disaster Relief and Herbal Health Center Funding.
