Ericka Brown – A Gifted Herbalist
February 4, 2021
Inspiring Women A Column by Rae Anthony
When Ericka Brown was a little girl, she dreamt of being like her mother. Her mother was a herbalist and she watched in awe as she changed the lives of others. Brown grew up in the beautiful island of Barbados and as soon as she was old enough, she started helping her mother.
She was a “mummy’s girl” and she was proud it. According to her, they were a “tag team.”
“It started with my grandmother. She was a midwife and she used to prepare local medications and my mum learned how to make them and passed it on to me. As a child, I would get excited whenever she made her remedies, because she was healing people. I used to assist her with everything. I went to the woods to look for some of the things she needed, I grated and pounded the ingredients and I did so much more,” she explained.
