Lindsey — an anthropologist raised by native healers in Hawaii — told me, “I was taught by my elders that when you go into the forest to pick flowers for making leis or plants for medicine, you only take a few blossoms or leaves from each limb. When you’re done, the forest should look like you had never been there. Today kids often go in with plastic garbage bags and break off branches.”
