Timothy Scott

 

Timothy Scott is an herbalist, writer, and gardener living in southern Vermont. He received a master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and studied psychology and general health sciences in undergraduate school, and has been in private practice since 2002.

After apprenticing with Stephen Buhner and being introduced to Lyme disease and its treatment in 2004, Tim began treating others with the comprehensive herbal protocol laid-forth within the book HEALING LYME. He began harvesting Japanese Knotweed and encapsulating the root and saw substantial improvement in the majority taking it. He also experienced the disease and its turmoil first-hand, and relied on and recovered with the protocol.

To keep up with the increasing need of a simple, reliable, and affordable herbal medicine for this devastating disease, the LB Core Protocol was developed, and in 2009, Tim created the herbal formulating company, Green Dragon Botanicals, to provide remedies for the greater Lyme community. He also continues to provide herbal consultations, with his practice focusing primarily on Lyme and other chronic and infectious diseases.

 

 

Tim is also author of INVASIVE PLANT MEDICINE (Healing Arts Press, 2010),  which is the first book of its kind to show that contrary to conventional thought, "invasive" plants are actually providing enormous benefit to the environment and are offering potent medicines to surrounding inhabitants.

Tim continues to write and talk about herbal medicine and alternative health care, and his philosophy is rooted in Deep Ecology, sacred plant medicine, Buddhist, Taoist, and Native American traditions, natural farming/ permaculture, and reading the natural landscape.
