Plants are beautifully complex organisms that help make life both possible and worthwhile. Yet most people don’t fully appreciate how much unrealized potential plants have for improving our quality of life. Thanks to the field of ethnobotany, we’re able to harness the power of plants for the benefit of our health and nutrition by drawing on thousands of years of wisdom and pairing it with the best of modern, evidence-based science. At BotaniCulture, ethnobotanist Dr. Lisa Offringa brings together her love of nature, her deep knowledge of plants, and her extensive training and experience to benefit clients looking for a holistic, research-backed approach to employing plants for better nutrition and health. Combining a respect for the environment with the most rigorous science, Lisa provides consulting on product development and testing; research expertise; and educational services in an accessible manner that leverages the best practices of ethnobotany and botanical science. She also hopes her clients will come to love plants as much as she does, though she’ll settle for helping them to be healthier, happier, and more knowledgeable.
