Podcasts about Calendula

In this episode, I'm sharing some of my favorite medicinal herb pairings from my own garden and exploring the art of companion planting—not just from a gardening standpoint, but also from an energetic and symbolic perspective.Over the years, I've discovered that many herbs don't just grow well together—they thrive in each other's presence. These plant partnerships offer physical benefits like pest control, soil improvement, and immune support, while also weaving a subtle web of metaphysical resonance. When we plant with intention, the garden becomes more than a productive space—it becomes a living, healing relationship.In this video, I walk you through four powerful herbal pairings and why they work on both a biochemical and spiritual level:

Welcome back to the WellFuel Podcast with your host, Isabel Smith!In today's quick but impactful episode, Isabel is answering a question we hear all the time: “How do I support my lymphatic system?”But instead of jumping right to supplements or herbs, Isabel urges you to pause and look deeper. Because more often than not, lymphatic congestion isn't the root issue; it's a symptom. And real support starts with understanding what's going on under the surface.In this episode, you'll learn:Common root causes of a sluggish lymphatic system from pelvic floor tightness and liver/gallbladder stress, to toxin overload, histamine imbalances, surgeries, or plain old exhaustion.Herbs that support lymph flow, like Cleavers Tea, Red Root, and Echinacea, and how to use them safely and effectively (always check with your healthcare provider!)Gentle detoxifiers like Calendula and Burdock Root help clear stagnation without overloading the system.Everyday tips for better lymph flow, hydration, minerals, electrolytes, proper elimination (yes, pooping matters!), and minimizing toxins in your clothes and environment.Isabel also shares her personal experiences and favorite go-to products, making this episode both practical and approachable.Episode Highlights:Start with the root:Don't skip to solutions; underlying causes like scar tissue, surgery, overactive histamine, or exhaustion may be blocking your flow.Powerful herbal tools:Cleavers Tea: Easy to absorb and great for daily lymph support.Red Root: A decongestant for lymph, spleen, and tonsils.Echinacea: Boosts immune response and lymph drainage.Poke Root: Potent, only use with medical supervision.Calendula & Burdock Root: Gentle and effective support for detox and circulation.Lifestyle & nutrition tips:Start with minerals, salt, and whole food sources of electrolytes.Don't rely on caffeine to stimulate your system, support your kidneys and lymph gently.Poop matters, elimination is key for detox!Watch your toxic load, even tight clothes or synthetic fabrics can contribute to lymph stagnation.Go slow with practices like lymphatic massage, listen to your body and move at your own pace.Chapter Markers00:00 – Welcome to the WellFuel Podcast00:13 – Understanding the Lymphatic System01:28 – Primary Lymphatic Stimulants03:01 – Supportive Lymphatic Herbs03:55 – Holistic Approaches to Lymphatic Health06:46 – Final Thoughts and Recommendations

Do you use a sauna? A specific type of favourite sauna or temperature or frequency? Never tried it but sauna curious?Dr Joy Hussain was a practising physician for many years before realising there was something very special about the sauna. She had Reynaud's syndrome, which affects circulation, and noticed that using a sauna while living in Alaska improved her Reynaud's. Moving to a warm climate next, she assumed that this would be the solution to Reynaud's but a funny thing happened: It intensified. She reintroduced sauna, and just like that, it was better. This personal experience led her to doing a PhD studying them and here we are years later to discuss: Different sauna types and how the effects varyWhat we know about resilience, immune systems and detoxification when it comes to saunaThe difference in women's age stage and cycle timingTemperature relevance in sauna therapy, depending on climate ‘norm'Health conditions improved with sauna in the research so farYou can be part of sauna research: Answer this quick sauna survey to support Joy's workWant to learn more about Joy?

One day your child is their “healthy normal” self, and the next day they're radically changed, displaying neuropsychiatric symptoms that can scare and bewilder the child, their families and carers/teachers. The heartbreaking thing is it can take months if not years, to find a doctor who can identify and start treating the cause of this sudden change.Enter Dr Nancy O'Hara. We look at PANS/PANDAS and the genetic, environmental and incidence-based reasons something sudden like this can happen to a child and most importantly, how we can do 2 things. Firstly, mitigate risk by being more literate in causal factors and knowing how to proactively support children's health and resilience. Secondly, know how to spot the changes in kids - some subtle and some severe, so that you can start treating and healing the child soon and avoid being bounced around to a few doctors and practitioners before they get the support and treatment they need.We cover:What PANS/PANDAS can present asWhere it comes from biologically and environmentallyMacro foods that are important for this group and whyHow can we be proactive when an infection hits or tick bite happensand moreSo. Much. Good. Supportive information in this show. Enjoy + share with as many parents and carers that you can - if we all know more we can all do more!

When you think of UTI and herbs, you probably think of cranberry and uva ursi first. You're not wrong to do so! They're reliable and effective remedies.

In this episode we outline two herbal UTI formulae we work with ourselves, and explain why and how they're helpful.We also take this opportunity to demonstrate our method of formulation, and show how the same actions and qualities can be achieved from different sets of plants.Formula 1:primary – yarrow (Achillea millefolium) flower, goldenrod (Solidago spp.) flower;support – linden (Tilia spp.), marshmallow (Althaea off.) leaf, chamomile (Matricaria recutita)catalyst – juniper (Juniperus spp.)Formula 2:primary – heather (Calluna vulgaris), calendula (Calendula off.)support – marshmallow (Althaea off.) root, catnip (Nepeta cataria), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)catalyst – cedar (Thuja plicata) leafIf you'd like to learn more about supporting your urinary system, our Urinary Health course is for you! It's too common to neglect this system of the body – until something goes wrong. Take proactive steps to prevent UTIs and kidney stones, and learn methods to manage issues such as interstitial cystitis or incontinence. You'll be glad you did!And if you'd like to dig deeper into formulation, well, then our Fundamentals of Formulation course is where to go next!

In this episode, I explore the concept of animism—what it means historically and how it can be applied in today's world. Animism is the belief that nature is alive and infused with spirit, a perspective that can help us connect deeply with both our animal and human selves. By shifting our view of the world, we can honor our sensory, emotional, and just natures, living more harmoniously on this dynamic, living planet. Together, we'll delve into the foundational principles of shamanism, reflecting on what it means to see ourselves as part human and part animal. We'll also confront darkness—an integral, yet often misunderstood, aspect of the animistic worldview. I'll share insights into what darkness can teach us, its potential dangers, and how we can protect ourselves from its perils. Using tools like prayer, ritual, and herbs, we'll discuss ways to bring light into the dark spaces of life. I'll highlight three powerful solar herbs—Rosemary, Angelica, and Calendula—sharing their historical significance and my modern approaches to using them. Known for their warming, diffusive, and protective qualities, these herbs have long been associated with the sun's energy and are invaluable allies for navigating the unknown. Join me as we light our lanterns and journey together into the wisdom of the dark. ———— *KICKSTARTER*

Click here to send me a quick message :) What herbs are must-have remedies for every home apothecary? I think every herbalist would probably answer that differently. But there are certain foundational herbs that are not-to-be-missed, partly because they are safe, gentle, and versatile. Those are the kinds of herbs we cover in today's episode.Clinical herbalist and host of The Herbalist's Path podcast, Mel Mutterspaugh shares about 5 of her absolute favorites to have on hand as a mama (or parent) for those common accidents, ailments or conditions that require a little first aid care.Which herbs, you ask? We cover plantain, comfrey, echinacea, yarrow and calendula. Especially for those bumps, scrapes, bruises, gashes, splinters, colds, flus, fevers, etc... these simple herbal remedies are some of our best allies!I remember when I first discovered I didn't need to go to the pharmacy to get first aid supplies. I truly barely ever even set foot in there anymore.So much of what we need is growing right outside your doorstep, or easy to grow in your garden. It's the kind of home herbalism we all deserve access to. Simple, accessible, effective and abundant. Mel shares practical tips, stories and experiences from her own family and community herbalism work in the apothecary she used to run. We talk everything from sprains from ski injuries to flus and fevers to pulling out an embedded blackberry thorn and more. It's a fun and informative conversation that I hope you love. Listen to learn:how leading outdoor trips led Mel to herbal medicinewhy Calendula is Mel's favorite plant (+ how it helps "where the sun don't shine")what Echinacea does aside from supporting our immunity why plantain might be called "nature's band-aid" + how it helps the gutthe magic of comfrey as a topical application + was we both think of those pyrrolizidine alkaloids it contains the versatility and first-aid-kit-in-a-plant that yarrow isa couple great tips on encouraging kids to actually *take* their herbal medicine from Mel's 11+ years of experience as an herbalist mamaResources:Today's shownotes: Get links to all of Mel's offerings, courses, etcGrab your spot on the Natural Contraception course waitlistEpisode 4: Herbal spotlight on TulsiEpisode 12: The simple sacred practice of making herbal teasEpisode 82: Making herbal vinegars, oxymels, shrubsEpisode 134: Herbal baths and compressesDownload the FREE Track your cycle naturally guideIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

Could Calendula really help us heal the inner wounded masculine? What does that even mean? What if the medicine of the plants was slowly evolving and changing alongside us? Perhaps not only with human needs, but also with the changes in the ecosystems plants live in. How could they not? Plants are so chemically responsive, they change their makeup depending on the situation they find themselves growing in, and since we are part of the ecosystem to, it is no wonder that plants are offering stronger medicine for healing the inner wounds of broken mental & spiritual worlds. Heidi Wedd and Stephanie Hazel wade in very similar pools in their own work as herbalists and teachers - learning how to listen to the earth and the plants directly, and how to work with the soul properties or spirit teachings of plants for deeper personal and collective healing. Here they discuss their different theories on why this matters, the lessons Heidi has learnt from Calendula and what 'Shamanic Herbalism' really is. Heidi is a herbalist, homeopath, midwife and plant spirit communicator with 20 years experience, based in Main Arm, NSW. She has studied in Scotland, Siberia and Australia and offers a quiet wisdom to her students that is priceless.

​I am here to chat about my current favorite little flower that I am using topically at home. It's CALENDULA. And no, mine is not yet blooming in the garden. But you can always order from a reputable source. Starwest Botanicals is one of my favorites. I know some of you are very curious to get into herbal medicine. I truly think that topical products and skincare are the best gateway to learn about plants in a safe (and fun!) manner.

It's time to get social, team up and leave ourselves open - even to heartbreak - as we embark upon the Threes of the Tarot. We'll touch numerology, astrology, folklore and mythology associated with these cards and then pull the full interpretations before we dive into the problem with Calendula and Marigold. These two magickal and medicinal powerhouses get confused too often - and it's not your fault! Lets take a look at why.  *Also, at this point, I'm just going to have to market my podcast as half tarot/witchcraft and half ASMR for unhinged people who like to listen to dogs running around at all times.

#48 - Join us for an incredible conversation with Herbalist and Educator Lupo Passero on the power of deepening our relationship with the medicinal plants of our ancestors. In this episode, Lupo shares about her recent experience of traveling to her ancestral homeland in Sicily and how working with ancestral plants helps us connect with a deep remembering of who we are in relationship to the Earth. She offers profound wisdom on the power of reclaiming her Strega lineage and the experience of connecting with many plant allies in Southern Italy including Rosemary, Bay, Olive, Pomegranate, and Calendula. She also shares key insights on the importance of learning recipes, songs, stories, and ancestral practices of spiritual protection and healing with the plants. Lupo grew up in hardwood forests of the Northeast. Her paternal Grandmother was a wise woman, a Strega, from Italy. Her paternal Great Grandmother came from Knocknashee, the Druid Hill of the Fae, in Sligo, Ireland. Since childhood she has been studying plants, creating circles, hosting ceremonies, and holding ritual space for others. At 18 she was pulled to the heart of the Appalachian Mountains where she began her botanical studies. As a young mother, Lupo's greatest teachers have been her two (now grown) children. Her humble beginning of studying herbs and flower essences as a young mother in the 90's inspired her to learn and go on to teach others. Lupo is the Founder and Director of Twin Star School of Herbal and Energetic Studies. For over two decades she has had the privilege to teach thousands of students, in both Asheville NC, CT/NYC area as well as around the globe, the art of energetic and spiritual herbalism. Her recent trip to Sicily to visit her homeland, has greatly deepened her love and connection to her Sud Italian heritage and reclaiming her birthplace as an American Italian Strega. A true a teacher at heart, Lupo continues to deepened her relationship within her own lineage, as well as many others, by sitting at the feet of and learning from as many teachers as possible.You can find Lupo at: https://www.twinstartribe.com/On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twinstartribe/On facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twinstartribeFor more info visit Sara's website at: https://www.multidimensionalnature.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/multidimensional.nature/facebook: https://www.facebook.com/saraartemisia.ms/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@saraartemisiaLearn how to communicate with plant consciousness in the free workshop on How to Learn Plant Language: https://www.learnplantlanguage.com/

In today's episode of The Herbalist's Path, I explore natural remedies for sunburns. Discover how melanin protects our DNA but isn't foolproof against prolonged UV exposure. I discuss Good Day Sunshine, a herbal sunscreen with Calendula and St. John's Wort. While prevention is key, I also highlight powerful herbal remedies for soothing and healing sunburns. Vulnerary herbs are perfect for healing wounds, and mucilaginous herbs like aloe vera, which offer cooling and soothing effects can work wonders and provide much needed relief to sunburned skin. Other herbs like calendula, lavender, comfrey, plantain, and marshmallow root are also noted for their remarkable healing properties. Although I stress on prevention throughout the episode, I also highlight the incredible power of herbs to heal sunburns.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis) is one of my most-adored herbs! So I was thrilled when today's guest, Alex Crofoot, chose calendula as a focus for this interview. And I loved hearing both new and familiar ways of working with this favorite (and very versatile!) plant. Calendula is an herbal friend that:► Is powerfully healing to the skin, yet is gentle enough to soothe a baby's diaper rash or to bring some relief to red and irritated eyes. Calendula belongs in every herbal first aid kit!► Has a range of applications for women's health, from postpartum healing to helping relieve symptoms of vaginal atrophy► Supports the lymphatic system and is healing to the gut, both of which can benefit folks who suffer from chronic allergies or frequent illness (or just about anyone, really!)► and that's naming just a few of calendula's gifts…To quote Alex, “Calendula is such a great introductory plant that also builds upon itself.” I couldn't agree more.This episode is full of tips to help you:► Make infused oil with fresh calendula flowers (without spoilage due to moisture content)► Make a full-spectrum calendula tincture (and why you might want to take the extra steps)► Avoid problems with mold on your harvested calendulaFor those of you who don't already know Alex, she was born in the southern tier of NY, among rich farmlands and birch forests. She is a trained community/clinical herbalist and full spectrum doula who is passionate about accessible herbal care and supporting all pregnancy outcomes. Alex was raised around her Southern great grandmother who was a birthing assistant for her mother who worked as a midwife and herbalist with the Chestnut Ridge People. This may explain her admiration for the plant and reproductive world since childhood.Alex is a queer cis woman. She is the founder of the Community Care Camper, a free mobile herb clinic serving underserved populations in and around Ann Arbor, Michigan. She is the co-owner of Black Locust Gardens herb farm and plant nursery, a coordinator for the Great Lakes Herb Faire, an herbal educator, mom, animist, pagan, writer and is currently working on opening up a mutual aid herb shop. She works on a sliding fee scale, weaving together a harm reduction and client centered lens. She works mostly with AFAB people's health around postpartum, pregnancy loss, gut and hormonal health.If you'd like to hear more from Alex, which I highly recommend, then head to the show notes where you can get easy links for her website and social media.

Today's guest, Susan Shashok of Caroline's Dream Handcrafted Skincare, based in Middlebury Vermont, has three big goals for 2023 - and she is already well on her way to nailing them all. Never mind that she spent the last few months of 2022, as she puts it, in "a game show where the prizes behind doors 1, 2, and 3 all suck."Trigger warning for this one - our conversation starts out all rainbows and flowers (or should I say herbs), talking about Susan's fabulous natural skincare company, Caroline's Dream. But we do take a sharp turn into some serious talk about what it's like to be diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. I hope you, personally, have not had to navigate this yourself or with a loved one. But if you have, I know you will relate. And if you haven't, yet (because, let's be honest, this disease is likely to touch all of us, in some way, at some point in our lives), this is required listening. You probably know a handful of people who should hear this conversation, so I hope you'll share it with them. Susan and I talk about this in our conversation - the power of shared stories can not be overstated. It's so valuable to be able to identify with others who are living the struggles that you are getting lost in. Any sliver of shared experience brings people together, and fast-tracks the ability of a community of support to coalesce around you. Sharing is caring, people!But first things first - head over to CarolinesDream.com to load up on all the lotions and salves and creams and good vibes you need to chase winter's dry darkness away... and if you want in on next fall's ginkgo gambling, make sure to follow @carolinesdreamvt.
