The Black Flag Herbal Clinic is a free anarchist herbal clinic supporting people affected by state violence, repression, poverty and crisis who may not otherwise be able to access care.
We have just shared a call for medicine! You can find the original post here: https://blackflagherbalclinic.org/wishlist/
Call for Medicine
We are currently putting out a call for herbal medicine donations from herbalists, growers and medicine makers.
Right now, medicines are being received to a UK address and distributed through the clinic. Longer term, we hope to help build more decentralised community medicine networks and supply chains.
Because these medicines are going directly to people, we need to ensure that all donations have been made safely and responsibly. We can only accept donations from people with solid plant identification skills and good medicine making and storage practices.
All donations must be clearly labelled with:
- Common and Latin name
- Type of preparation (tincture, glycerite, dried herb etc.)
- Ratio and alcohol percentage where relevant
- Date made or harvested
- Your name, collective or project name
Any unlabeled medicines will sadly need to be rejected.
At present, we are only able to accept larger quantity donations:
- Minimum 500ml for tinctures and glycerites
- Minimum 500g for dried herbs
If you would like to donate herbs or medicines, please email us to request the postal address: in**@*******************ic.org
Thank you so much.
