The Herbalista Free Clinic (aka The Herb Bus) is a traveling clinic offering herbal care and basic first aid to underserved population, including Atlanta’s homeless. A literal pop up clinic, we travel in Luna, a 1990 VW Westfalia camper van.
While this sweet bus has travelled the country for years, schlepping gear to provide herbal first aid clinics, education, and harvest medicine, it was only in February 2013 that we began to offer a regularly recurring clinic to treat chronic care conditions (constitutional medicine). We currently service two locations in the Atlanta area (returning monthly to do follow up care) and hope to add more stations to our route as support for the herb bus grows.
In a typical clinic, we see between 6-8 patients, depending on how many are new visitors and how many are there for follow-ups / refills. The consults and the herbs dispensed are FREE. And I might clarify, that while they are free to patients seeking care, the cost to the Herb Bus does add up. The medicines dispensed average around $300 per clinic. This doesn’t take into account the crew who donates their time or the maintenance of the bus (who, in her 24th year, isn’t without her aches & pains.) While the Herb Bus is a labor of love, community support is vital to making this project a sustainable endeavor.
This summer we did a mini tour from the southeast to the mountains of Montana, offering clinical care, education, and harvesting sweet, sweet herbs to stock our apothecary. This trip highlighted the need for this type of care and we dream of a more extended tour in 2014 to teach the method to our madness, hopefully planting the seeds for other herb buses that can service their local communities. I have been working on The Herb Bus Service Manual in an attempt to pull aside the curtains and share the nuts and bolts of facilitating a free mobile herbal clinic.
SUPPORT THE HERB BUS Thanks to everyone who has supported this project herbally, inspirationally, creatively, organizationally, economically, logistically, and all the rest of it too!!
The Herb Bus is partnered with The Baraka Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization. All donations to the Herb Bus are tax deductible. If you are interested in supporting the bus, please click here.
Viva la Herb Bus!
