This week on Tea Talks with Jiling, we are joined by Kat Maier RH, (AHG). Kat is the founder and director of Sacred Plant Traditions, a center for herbal studies in Charlottesville, Virginia.

As a passionate steward of the plants, Kat also served as president of United Plant Savers and was the recipient of the organization's first Medicinal Plant Conservation Award.

If you're sick of ham sandwiches and Love Actually, why not bring spear throwing and possum skinning to Chrissy lunch? Eva and Will of Wild Beings have some cracking ideas for rewilding family gatherings -- and every other facet of modern existence, for that matter.These two intrepid humans lead a radically connected life on/in/with the land, and inspire others to do the same. Tracking, hunting, foraging, tanning, weaving, bush medicine and bird language... this conversation harks back to the OG roots of Reskillience; re-membering that old, wise body of ecological knowledge and running with it... into the shrubbery.

A group of young Aboriginal women is helping to keep traditional bush medicine alive in Australia. They hope their Bush Balm remedy will also be a reminder of home for kidney patients from their community undergoing dialysis in the city. Using an ancient rock, Tamara Stewart is crushing leaves in her kitchen. She's preparing a healing balm called “irmangka”—her late grandmother's favorite bush medicine. "I used to take bush medicine to my nana, every day after work. Then I lost her at the start of this year," explains Bush Balm team leader Stewart, whose grandmother died of kidney failure. Stewart describes her work as both therapeutic and symbolic. Now, making bush medicine is a way for Stewart to honor her grandmother. "She was always proud of me and she wanted me to keep going forward in my life," says Stewart. Indigenous Australians have used their traditional knowledge and plants found in the bush for generations to treat ailments. According to Stewart, the balm can be used to relieve sore joints and muscles, as well as cold and flu symptoms. Stewart and two other Aboriginal women work for Bush Balm, a social enterprise that's part of the not-for-profit organization Purple House which operates 22 dialysis clinics in remote Australia. Patients have to stay in town while undergoing dialysis, and the bush balm provides Indigenous patients a reminder of home. "It's all of their first jobs and, yes, we have a lot of fun in here," says Bush Balm manager Emma Collard. The balm produced by the young women is sold online and in a local shop. The resulting income is used to provide dialysis patients with free balm, to complement their Western medical treatment. "So, it's really grown a lot since we've had this amazing space. So, now we're sending it everywhere, like, we send bush medicine to France, to America, to the UK, interstate, everywhere around Australia and to some really remote locations in the Top End. Yeah, everywhere," says Collard. Stewart is very proud of being able to continue her grandmother's legacy and pass on traditional knowledge to others.

Struggling to hang on to doctor staff? This episode offers more than a few gems of wisdom from the most unlikely location. Today, The Tea Room travels to Crystal Brook, a rural town 200 kilometres north of Adelaide. There we meet Dr Richard McKinnon co- owner of Crystal Brook Medical Practice – a small-town clinic that is anything but small. After 35 years in this farming community, he knows the hacks to running a thriving practice that allows plenty of time to play golf. The secret, it appears, is knowing how to retain registrars. “The current generation, quite rightly and no criticism at all, won't go to single-doctor practices, they won't go to two doctor practices and they probably won't go to three doctor practices. Because it's all about work life, balance and lifestyle,” Dr McKinnon says. At Crystal Brook Medical Practice registrars are “really looked after”, says Dr McKinnon. “They don't do any more on-call than I do. They're very well supported. And if they want to go and play netball in winter and they're on call, I'll cover them and they'll cover me when I want to go sailing. And the ones we like and who like us tend to stay,” he said. Providing great training is another major drawcard for registrars. At Crystal Brook they get hands-on experience assessing and treating conditions, like gout and polymyalgia rheumatica, which in a city clinic would be normally referred to another specialist. “I think rural GPs will do more procedures perhaps than our city colleagues because you don't want the patient have to travel 200 kilometres for treatment. And if you're not kind of putting patients at increased risk then we will do those treatments and try to encourage and teach the registrars coming through,” he said. Dr McKinnon sees an over reliance on “sophisticated investigations” in current training approaches in large hospitals. He believes this can compromise clinical acumen and the confidence to diagnose and treat some patients. “You go to Medical School, in my case for six years of medicine, then four years post-graduate. Basically you've done 10 years training. If you then don't use your clinical acumen, well, it just breaks my heart,” Dr McKinnon said. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

From Italy to the remote Central Desert in Australia. Thought Leader and International Human Rights academic Dr. Francesca Panzironi created an international platform to document and support the practice of the 60,000 year old Aboriginal traditional healing knowledge system. Traditional Australian Aboriginal healers are working alongside doctors and nurses for the first time in Australia. Dr Panzironi is the founder and serves as Chief Executive Officer of ANTAC, Aṉangu Ngangkaṟi Tjutaku Aboriginal Corporation. She applied her knowledge and experience, to promote the recognition of the internationally recognised right of Indigenous Peoples to maintain and practice their traditional medicines within Australia' s national health care system. Dr Panzironi traveled across South Australia for over four years (2008-2012) collecting evidence of the current status of Aboriginal Traditional Medicine in community and clinical settings. The findings of her research are published in Hand-in-Hand. Report on Aboriginal Traditional Medicine. This is her story and this is her passion. Who are the Ngangkari? The word ‘Ngangkari’ comes from the Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara and Ngaanyatjarra language groups, but modern use of the term is growing as a description for Indigenous spirit-healers in general across Australia. Other common names in English for the people within Aboriginal tribal cultures who play the role of healer and carrier of spirit lore are ‘the clever people’, ‘clevers’, or ‘feather foots’. PASSIONATE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT • ANTAC - Aṉangu Ngangkaṟi Tjutaku Aboriginal Corporation • Ngangkaṟi healers • Aboriginal Traditional Medicine • Aboriginal Traditional healers • Ngangkari - three main techniques: a smoking ceremony, bush medicines or spirit realignment. • Healers consider the spirit as a "core component" of a person's body and help clients reconnect to culture, the "lifeblood of their spiritual being" • Bush Medicine – are native plants/bush tucker also used in the healing • Ngangkaṟi Services -health care, educational and cultural interventions • Rights of Indigenous Peoples to maintain and practice their traditional medicines within Australia' s national health care system. • Combination of Western medicine with Aboriginal Traditional Medicine - two-way health care model • How ANTAC fills in the gaps in Western Medicine • Complementary alternative medicine • Key issues, challenges and benefits of current ad hoc arrangements for the provision of ngangkari services across south Australia • Results of the healings SPREAD THE PASSION HOST: Luisa WEBSITE https://passionharvest.com/ YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXS4cp84D4xDCtF-vZR7KBg?view_as=subscriber INSTAGRAM- @passionharvest https://www.instagram.com/PassionHarvest/ FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/Passionharvest WATCH THIS INTERVIEW ON YOUTUBE https://youtu.be/0OvXQZlbIGE LEAVE A PODCAST REVIEW IN I TUNES http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1451566598 CONNECT WITH DR.
