Original Instructions Full Spectrum Doula 🌿 FAQS

October 01, 2025

Why is Herbalism such an integral portion of our Full Spectrum Doula currículum?

  Pregnancy is a time in a woman's life when she must take up all of her strength, count her blessings, and go to battle in order to bring back her child(ren). She must be willing, just as a warrior .......

 At Original Instructions School are persistently dedicated to the quality and truly holistic education of our students. We understand that the basic knowledge of how to recognize, interact with, and benefit from nutritive herbal medicine and foods that are readily available in your area is not the intellectual property of anyone but belongs to all Human Begins.

   In order for Doulas to act as a true resource and advocate for mothers and their families we believe that they require at least a basic understanding of how to nourish, support and cleanse the female body in the same way our foremothers have for generations;

The Bone Doctor Recipe, and other everyday adventures

The Bone Doctor Recipe, and other everyday adventures

September 25, 2025

Naturally, tapping the palo (or tree)resins yourself in a good way is preferable. However, on this occasion we went to a trusted local Herbalist.

   Once you have gathered your ingredients; 

   Mix equal parts of all 6 plant resins, and bring to a vigorous simmer. 

 Once the mixture has simmered vigorously for at least 5 minutes, carefully dip the gauze, 1 at a time int the mixture of resins until it is completely soaked on all sides like paper mache.

  Begin with 2 or 3 gauze depending on how large the area you´re casting is.

  Gently but firmly wrap the affected area of the body with the gauze horizontally. 

  Continue to wrap the affected area, making sure to clear any resin or air bubbles.

   Plaster the resin soaked gauze laying the same direction, until you can no longer see the skin underneath, but only see white gauze, like a cast.

  --> Take care not to burn yourself or the client!! Test the gauze on the most sensitive area of your wrist, like a baby´s bottle.

  Agua Florida, Colonia, and other such alcohol based holy waters echo the memory of when waters used for cleansing, protecting, and anointing included propriety medicinal blends from the Plant, Animal, and Mineral nations. Pusangas incorporate the energetic blueprints, or Spirits, of the Plant nations into an alcohol and water based menstrum, which functions in ways similar to flower essences, and spritzers. 

  At times, pusangas are implemented as delivery systems for Ikaros or other prayer songs. Whereas many modern Colonias are now heavily fragrance with perfumes, the older versions gained their special fragrances from the freshly prepared ingredients therein such as Pirri Pirri, Piñón, Jasmine, and Tobacco.

> Join Original Instructions School Founder Brittany Wilson and guest instructor Christine McArdle for this online certification training <—

It is in the Spirit of expansion that we offer you our newest Original Instructions certification program, My Sacred C-Section. In it we include training surrounding nutrition, comfort measures, scared tissue remediation, physical rehabilitation, general postpartum care, herbal allies, traditional ceremonial practices, and a road map to recovery for those who give birth via C-Section and their care providers.
