Stephen Harrod Buhner was an American herbalist and writer.

Buhner's concoctions have also been marketed by alternative practitioners as a cure for Covid-19.[1][2] One of these received a written warning from the FDA in 2020 for making such claims.[3][4]

His book, The Lost Language of Plants, received a Nautilus and BBC Environmental Book of the Year Award. In 2022, he received the first annual McKenna Academy Distinguished Natural Philosopher Award in recognition of his work. His book, Earth Grief: The Journey Into and Through Ecological Loss, also won a Nautilus award. [1]
