What if one of the most beloved herbs for emotional healing isn't just uplifting—but helps us gently reconnect with parts of ourselves we've had to tuck away to survive?In this episode, I sit down with CoreyPine Shane to discuss mimosa (Albizia julibrissin), often affectionately referred to as the “tree of happiness.” And what a fitting name! Mimosa is celebrated as a joyful, uplifting herb, and is commonly reached for to help relieve anxiety and depression—though as CoreyPine shares in this conversation, its benefits are much more nuanced than that.CoreyPine also shares thoughtful insights about trauma, the body, and emotional healing, describing how herbs like mimosa may help us gently release what's been held for too long. Along the way, we explore what it means to work with plants not just as remedies, but as companions for moving through life's most tender and transformative moments—and the deep comfort of making connections with the living world around us.Don't miss CoreyPine's Peach Mimosa Elixir recipe! This fragrant, uplifting cordial might just be “happiness in a bottle”. You can download your beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► The important differences between mimosa flower and bark medicine► Eight different herbs to pair with mimosa (and when to reach for one over another)► What it means when emotions become “stuck” in the body—and why mimosa is such a helpful herbal ally for helping to move them along► Important considerations for when NOT to use mimosa► and so much more…For those of you who don't know him, CoreyPine Shane is Director of the Blue Ridge School of Herbal Medicine, and a core member of the mutual aid group, The Appalachian Herb Collective.

Most of us were taught to think about dental health in isolation—brush, floss, rinse, repeat. But what if your mouth is actually a gateway to understanding your entire body?In this episode, my friend Mason Hutchison and I interview Kyle Denton to explore a more holistic approach to dental care. Drawing from his overlapping backgrounds in clinical dentistry and herbalism, Kyle shares how the mouth can reflect patterns of health throughout the body (and the many ways that herbalism can help us work with those patterns rather than simply masking them!).We also get into some surprisingly nuanced topics, including toothpaste ingredients, mouthwash myths, the oral microbiome, and why “one-size-fits-all” dental advice often falls short. Throughout the conversation, Kyle shares practical ways to approach oral care with more awareness, intention, and personalization.If this conversation intrigues you and you want to learn even more about how to care for your mouth in a holistic way, you'll love Kyle's free Herbal Dental Care mini course! You can join the mini course here. It's only available for the next few days, so be sure to check it out soon!By the end of this episode, you'll know:► The biggest misconception people have about dental care► How to tell the difference between types of bad breath—and what they might mean► Why “killing germs” isn't always the goal when it comes to oral health► Five common ingredients to avoid when buying toothpaste► How understanding tissue states can completely change the way you approach oral care► and many more insights for supporting your oral health naturally….For those of you who don't already know him, Kyle Denton is a clinical herbalist, medicine maker, and teacher whose roots in dentistry give him a rare and comprehensive view of the body's inner design. For 15 years he worked in the dental field: chairside, lab fabrication, patient care and clinical management. This daily mentorship developed a deep understanding of the technical, structural, and human sides of oral care. During his later years in dentistry, Kyle's study of herbalism began to merge with his clinical work, revealing a living bridge between oral anatomy and the energetic, emotional, and ecological dimensions of health.As the founder of Tippecanoe Herbs and Root Radical Herbal Academy, Kyle has taught hundreds of students through courses that blend hands-on medicine making with vitalist philosophy, plant energetics, and the electric field anatomy. His teaching style unites practical knowledge with mytho-poetic insight and light humor, helping students see the mouth as an intelligent gateway of breath, nourishment, and expression, as well as the mechanical structures.Kyle brings together his dual lineages of dentistry and herbalism to empower others with the tools, context, and confidence to care for their oral health naturally, while deepening their understanding of how the mouth reflects the rhythm and balance of the whole body.Whether you're rethinking your daily routine or simply becoming more curious about the signals your body is sending, I hope this episode inspires you to listen more closely, stay curious, and bring a little more intention to the ways you care for yourself each day.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

What if the medicine you need isn't just in the plant—but in kneeling down to meet it?Sweet woodruff (Galium odoratum) may not be as widely known as other plants in the herbal world, but as Swedish herbalist Lisen Sundgren shares in this episode, it holds a quiet kind of magic. With its delicate white flowers, an aroma reminiscent of vanilla, and a long history in European traditions, this woodland herb has been used to gently support the nervous system, ease restlessness, and mark the turning of the seasons.But this conversation goes far beyond herbal actions. Lisen invites us into a deeper relationship with plants—one rooted in presence, patience, and reciprocity.

Everyone's trying to get rid of it—but around the world, it's treasured as medicine. What if pennywort could change the way you see your backyard?Pennywort (Hydrocotyle spp.) is one of those plants that many people overlook (or actively try to remove!). Yet across the globe, it's commonly harvested and enjoyed as both a nourishing food and a traditional remedy. In this conversation, herbalist and botanist April Punsalan shares how this unassuming, persistent plant became one of her most meaningful allies.Drawing from her background with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and years of hands-on experience with wild plants, April brings a unique perspective that blends ecology, science, and intuition. She explores pennywort's rich chlorophyll content, its role as a fresh, nutrient-rich herb, and why she prefers working with it in simple preparations that feel more like daily nourishment than “taking medicine.” Along the way, she invites us to rethink our relationship with the plants growing all around us—and to consider what we might discover if we slow down enough to truly notice them.April shares a simple, vibrant way to bring fresh plant nourishment into your daily routine with her Hydrocotyle Chlorophyll Refresher.

Isn't smoking bad for you? Yes…but the conversation around smokable herbs may be more nuanced than you think.In this episode, I'm joined by herbalist and founder of Puff Herbals, Lian Bruno, for a grounded, thoughtful conversation about smokable herbs—especially mullein (Verbascum spp.). While many herbalists shy away from this topic, Lian approaches it through a lens of harm reduction, compassion, and what she calls “holistic hedonism.”LIan explores why mullein has long been used in smoking blends, how formulation dramatically changes the smoking experience, and why all-or-nothing thinking can make conversations about smoking harder, not safer. This episode isn't a blanket endorsement of smoking, nor is it a how-to guide. Instead, it's an invitation into nuance: understanding energetics, honoring ritual, and supporting people exactly where they are.During our conversation, Lian shares her recipe for Lung Lube, a syrup that offers both immediate relief and long-term support for lungs irritated by smoke or sickness. You can download your beautifully-illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Four reasons mullein is considered a classic smokable herb► Why mullein should rarely be smoked alone (and what to pair it with)► How smokable herbs can serve as a bridge for reducing nicotine or cannabis use► How to formulate a smoking blend with intention, matching plant energetics to your desired effect► Eighteen examples of smokable herbs—and the reasons you might include them in a smoking blend► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Lian Bruno is a clinically-trained herbalist, holistic health educator, writer, and founder of Puff Herbals — a brand redefining smoking rituals with tobacco-free, cannabis-free herbal alternatives. With a background in ethnobotany, she blends science, storytelling, and subculture into smoking blends designed for modern rituals.Rooted in harm reduction and what she calls holistic hedonism, Puff Herbals makes herbalism approachable for anyone looking to light up — from the sober-curious and wellness-obsessed to skeptics and smokers looking to quit or cut back.Whether or not you ever work with smokable herbs, I hope this conversation encourages curiosity over judgment and reminds you that herbalism is ultimately about relationship — with plants, with our bodies, and with one another.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

What if our ancestors already found solutions for our modern health problems—and the answers are hiding in plain sight in your spice cabinet?Allspice (Pimenta dioica) may be small, but as Asia Dorsey shares in this episode, its medicine is mighty. Used throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and beyond, this aromatic berry carries anti-fungal, circulatory, and even menopausal support (all while making your food taste incredible!).But this conversation goes far beyond herbal actions. Asia weaves together ecology, fermentation science, ancestral cooking techniques, and herbal healing into a powerful reminder: everything we need is already here.Along with spices, fermented foods (from wine to jun, sauerkraut to kimchi, and more) are Asia's jam! If you've ever been curious about making your own living foods, you'll definitely want to try her simple, delicious recipe for Living Habanero Hot Sauce. You can download a beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Why allspice deserves far more respect than its “holiday spice” reputation► The surprising way this tiny berry supports women's health► How allspice (and many other spices!) protects the body from modern inflammatory stressors► Why fermentation makes certain foods easier to digest► How bioregional and ancestral herbalism can deepen your relationship with plants► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Asia Dorsey is a bioregional rootworker and nutritional therapist centering gut-mind healing through ancestral food as medicine. She has apprenticed with wise women across the globe to discern the pattern language of healing though land and lineage. Her Colorado practice stewards 1:1 clients and mentored students towards embodied liberation.This episode is a celebration of bioregional herbalism, cultural reverence, and the intelligence of food as medicine.

It is a topic that is becoming ever more relevant as the medical community has been coming to the realization that there is such a thing as chronic Lyme, where acute measures such as antibiotics fall short. This is where herbal support can really shine in helping to peel back the layers that are causing disharmony and reestablish a healthy foundation for health.

Is there a “right” way to use herbs topically?Most people are familiar with salves, lotions, and creams—including non-herbalists!—but there are so many other ways that herbs can be used topically beyond these popular applications. From herbal baths and compresses to poultices and liniments (and yes, even suppositories!), topical remedies offer powerful, often immediate ways to support the body—that is, of course, if they're used appropriately.In this episode, I'll explore several different ways to work with herbs topically, and when you might choose one herbal preparation over another. You'll learn why some topical remedies work beautifully while others fall short—and how choosing the right form can make all the difference.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Ten different topical herbal preparations—and situations when each of them shines► One common mistake that will make your herbal oils much less effective► When to reach for a topical remedy made with water or alcohol instead of oil► Which topical remedies are best for localized situations, and which can provide whole-body support► When topical herbal preparations are great on their own—and when they're best paired with internal remedies and lifestyle support► and so much more…I'll also share details about how to join the free mini course that my friend and co-teacher, Emily Han, and I will be offering next week.

In this informative and grounded talk, clinical herbalist Liane Moccia shares some of her most trusted herbal strategies for building a strong fertility foundation. Drawing from both clinical experience and current research, Liane walks through four foundational herbal allies she regularly uses in her fertility and preconception practice — herbs chosen for their antioxidant activity, stress support, sleep benefits, and overall role in supporting egg and sperm quality. This video is ideal for anyone: • Planning for pregnancy • Actively trying to conceive • Supporting fertility alongside IVF or other assisted methods • Interested in evidence-based, holistic fertility support Liane also speaks openly about her own fertility journey, her integrative approach to herbal medicine and Western care, and why foundational herbs are often overlooked in favor of trendier remedies.

What Your Blood Really Says: Using Blood Tests for Preventive Health. Blood tests can reveal far more about your health than most people realize, often long before symptoms appear. In this episode, I explain how blood work can be used as a powerful preventive tool, not just to diagnose disease. We talk about what common blood tests can tell you about your metabolism, thyroid, hormones, nutrient status, and cardiovascular risk, and why “normal” lab ranges don't always mean optimal health. You'll learn why some nutrients need to be tested in whole blood or red blood cells rather than serum, which markers are often overlooked, and how to choose the right tests without overtesting. This episode is for anyone who wants to move beyond guesswork and use blood tests to gain clarity, track progress, and make more informed health decisions.Takeaways:Blood tests can reveal new health information.Early detection through blood tests aids in prevention.Doctors often check for severe health issues, not optimal health.Optimal ranges in blood tests are crucial for overall health.TSH is just one parameter for assessing thyroid health.Vitamin D levels should ideally be between 60 and 80.Magnesium should be tested in red blood cells for accuracy.Cortisol levels significantly affect energy levels throughout the day.Supplement dosages vary from person to person.Retesting is essential to confirm the effectiveness of health protocols.(blood tests, health insights, optimal ranges, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal health, cortisol, supplements, retesting)Would you like to book a health consultation for yourself or a loved one?

When I first started studying herbs over two decades ago, I learned herbs (like many people do) by memorizing herbal actions, memorizing lists, and then throwing it all together. But I found that choosing herbs for people using these memorized lists didn't always work, which was incredibly discouraging!Luckily, I found out about herbal energetics, and that's what I've based my herbal practices on ever since.Instead of a usual podcast this week, I'm inviting you to join my free mini Herbal Energetics Course so that you, too, can begin to experience the world of herbs in a whole new way.You can join the mini Herbal Energetics Course here.----Get more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comFor more behind-the-scenes of this podcast, follow @rosaleedelaforet on Instagram!Working successfully with herbs requires three essential skills.

Today I am sharing an important conversation with one of my primary herbal teachers, about the micro and macro views of health and healing. Modern life too often disassociates us from our innate identity and relationship with our greater ecosystem, biome, and planet. Herbal medicine, when practiced deeply and mindfully, goes beyond a simplistic replacement of conventional medicine with "natural" remedies, but moves us sometimes subtly and sometimes profoundly toward a recovery of our biological identities. The human body has the innate power to heal itself. Without this power to self heal, even the most advanced medications and surgical procedures would ultimately fail. The role of the herbalist in the healing process is to consider the client as a whole person, and to consult her/him/them concerning changes in lifestyle, diet, herbs, and supplementation in order to foster an increased state of balance and health - thus maximizing the body's self healing capabilities. Herbal medicine is not only the people's medicine, it is the planet's medicine. While we celebrate the increasing popularity of using herbs, we need to ensure herbal traditions remain true to our roots and accessible to all.

I had such a lovely time chatting with this week's podcast guest, Josh Williams, about one of my favorite tree medicines, and one that is often found in urban landscapes – the lovely linden (Tilia spp.). Josh shared so many gems about this beloved tree, from harvesting tips to how to make the most of its medicine, and he even told a beautiful story about linden from Roman mythology.Every year during linden bloom time, Josh gathers its sweetly-scented flowers and prepares a syrup with them, for use in beverages, to drizzle over food, in baking, and more. He's shared his method for preparing Linden Blossom Syrup with us, and I can't wait to try it! You can find your beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► What makes linden such wonderful medicine for both the emotional and the physical heart► Six ways of working with linden medicinally► Questions to ask (and who you might ask!) before gathering plants in an urban area ► Eight indications that you might benefit from linden's gifts► The surprising relationship between linden and cacao► and so much more…For those of you who don't know him, Josh Williams is a full time clinical herbalist in practice at Flow Acupuncture & Apothecary in downtown South Lake City, Utah. His community care focus centers stress, resilience and adaptability alongside the endless spiritual support the plants offer for us. Josh has been working with the plants for over 25 years and has been sharing free weekly classes on his YouTube Channel for four years. He has written two textbooks on the subjects of spiritual herbalism and his tradition of modern plant spirit work, both available from Aeon Books in London.I can't wait to share our conversation with you today!----Get full show notes and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comFor more behind-the-scenes of this podcast, follow @rosaleedelaforet on Instagram!Working successfully with herbs requires three essential skills.

This week on Everything You Didn't Know About Herbalism, we are celebrating our passion for plants in honor of Valentine's Day with the profoundly knowledgeable educator, author, “herbal matchmaker”, and Director of the Blue Ridge School of Herbal Medicine, CoreyPine Shane (RH). Tune in as Thomas and CoreyPine explore how herbalist practitioners utilize matchmaking tools to recommend botanicals that align with a patient's unique health goals, as well as how nervines and adaptogens can help us adapt to external stressors we experience throughout our ever-changing and evolving world.

As a member of the Appalachian Herb Collective—a grassroots effort providing on-the-ground assistance to those directly affected by the catastrophe, CoreyPine understands the impact behind establishing connections with plants to help heal a community from the inside out. As always, we thank you for joining us on another botanical adventure and are honored to have you tag along with us on this ride. Remember, we want to hear from you!
