Podcasts about Herbal medicine

Do your friends ask you, “what's a good herb for…” IBS, or PMS, or fibromyalgia, or whatever is bugging them? If you've ever struggled to answer such a request, you're not alone. It's not just about the difficulty of the pathology, though – it's also about the complexity of the person, and the variability between people.Everyone thinks they can ask “what's a good herb for IBS” and that you should have the answer. (Oops, you might even be thinking about an answer right now!) The question to ask right alongside such a thought is this: is that answer appropriate for the person asking? Remember, every body is different!As herbalists, we need a lot more information than just the name of the problem.One of our favorite mottoes around here is: “people don't take the names of herbs”. It means that you're not giving a good answer if a person asks “what's a good herb for migraines” and you respond “feverfew”. You've left out tons of important details: form, dose, timing, duration, formulation… the list goes on.The other side of the equation would be “people don't take herbs for the names of their symptoms”, or their discomforts, or their diagnoses. There are no “herbs for IBS” in the abstract, or in every individual case.Examples make this point most clearly, so this week's episode of the Holistic Herbalism Podcast is us talking through five different examples of people asking for help with health problems. We describe how we would break those problems down so that we can figure out what the right answer is for them, specifically – not for “someone”, generally.What would we ask first to get a foothold on the issue? What would we observe, and ask the client to observe, as we work to figure out the information we need? How would we construct a protocol and a set of health experiments that will actually help them? Listen in to hear us talk through the process in several different cases.Everything's on sale in July!All our offerings are self-paced online video courses.

Could the secret to better digestion be hiding in your compost bin?In this episode, clinical herbalist Heather Luna makes the case for an herb that most of us literally throw away. She reveals why orange peel (Citrus x sinensis) has become one of her favorite everyday herbs—and why it deserves a place in your kitchen instead of your compost.During our conversation, Heather explores many of the overlooked medicinal gifts of orange peel, from supporting digestion and nutrient absorption to nourishing the lungs, cardiovascular system, and microbiome. Along the way, she shares why she believes herbs belong alongside our food, not separated from it, and how simple daily practices can create the biggest changes in our health.Want an easy (and delicious!) way to start using orange peel every day? Download the beautifully illustrated recipe card for Heather's Rosehip Citrus Jam here, and discover why this simple preparation has become a favorite in her clinic.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► The surprising reason Heather puts orange peel into almost every digestive tea she makes► How orange peel behaves differently from many other bitter herbs—and why that matters► What's hiding inside the bitter white pith that most food recipes tell you to avoid► Seven delicious ways to use orange peel as food and medicine (and one clever way to use up any leftovers!)► Why slowing down to brew a daily cup of tea may be one of the most powerful herbal practices of all► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Heather Luna is a clinical herbalist and nutritionist, practicing in vitalist therapeutics. She is director of the Acorn School of Herbal Medicine where she hosts an online community learning platform for foundational, advanced, and clinical herbalism programs. She has been an instructor of Western herbalism since 2006 and has facilitated a free clinic since 2017.Heather's work emphasizes a vitalist approach to the application of herbs, nutrition, and holistic lifestyle. She is a mother, gardener, and a forever student of nature. Heather carries a lineage in the vitalist tradition with a mission to pass it on.This episode is a beautiful reminder that herbalism doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes the most profound medicine begins with slowing down, paying attention, and making good use of what we've already been given.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

Today's episode is about hibiscus energetics – a quick clarification on plant species & parts, and how herbal energetics & actions may differ among them.The hibiscus you find most often in stores or shops or herbal drinks is Hibiscus sabdariffa, and it's the specific part of the flower called the calyx.The calyx of Hibiscus sabdariffa is distinct from those of other species in the genus. From this species, this part is fleshy, red, and sour. These characteristics are signals to us. The red comes from anthocyanins, and indicates antioxidant/anti-inflammatory and blood-vessel-stabilizing actions; the sour means draining to excess fluid, and cooling to excess heat. Energetically, then, it's cooling, drying, tonifying.This is also the part with greater evidence for impacts on reducing cholesterol levels, triglycerides, and blood pressure. There is some evidence that hibiscus can lower blood sugar, as well. This part has an interaction with the antimalarial drug chloroquine – but this is also true of lemonade and other acidic drinks, not a uniquely hibiscus problem. Almost all discussion of and research about hibiscus revolves around H. sabdariffa calyx.Other species of Hibiscus don't produce that fleshy calyx. The leaves and flower petals of H. sabdariffa itself, and the leaves and flowers of other Hibiscus species (e.g. the rose of Sharon, H. syriacus and rose mallow, H. rosa-sinensis), are more similar to the herb marshmallow & other members of the mallow family. They are cooling, moistening, and relaxant, with a mucilaginous quality. They can help with dry coughs, sore throats, dehydration, and similar dry conditions.So to review: all parts of all species are cooling. Leaf & flower are moistening & relaxant. H. sabdariffa calyx is drying & tonifying. You can compare the H.sab calyx to rose hips, and the leaves & flowers to marshmallow.It's important to keep this distinction in mind whenever discussing “hibiscus”!All this illustrates a fundamental truth of herbalism, very clearly: plant species, part of plant, and other specific details about an herb can make a big difference in how we work with it, and what it can accomplish. So, don't let these details slip past you! They could make the difference between a remedy that does the job, and one that lets you down.For further info on hibiscus:HHP 191: Herbs A-Z: Hibiscus & Hypericumimages of Hibiscus sabdariffa calyx at IPlantzHibiscus profile at Herbal RealityAnd for more high-quality education about herbs, with all the necessary details and nuances: learn with us!Everything's on sale in July!All our offerings are self-paced online video courses.

Ric Scalzo began his exploration of herbal and naturopathic medicine in 1980, delving into fields such as Naturopathic Herbal Medicine, Eclectic Herbal Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and various diagnostic methods. He earned a master's degree in Herbal Medicine from the School of Herbal Medicine and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. After several years of medical practice, Ric founded Gaia Herbs in 1987 and grew Gaia to the most respected and successful herbal company in the country.

Wild elephant attacks have a direct and devastating impact on human life, especially in rural areas where communities live close to elephant habitats. Fatal encounters occur when elephants raid villages, leading to injuries or death. Families suffer not only the physical loss of loved ones but also deep emotional trauma, fear, and displacement. Children often grow up with constant anxiety, and villagers live in a state of tension, disrupting their sense of safety.

Herbal confidence takes some work to develop. The whole point of learning herbalism is to help people – but when you're still a student, that's a little bit tricky! You don't always know the answer. It might be something you just didn't learn about yet. Or maybe you know part of it, but you're not confident about the whole story. Maybe the question was just really intimidating! So you feel hesitant and unsure about how to help.As you learn more, your confidence will grow. It's ok to wait – you don't have to start giving out advice the moment you begin learning about herbs! That pressure isn't helping you, and setting it aside is completely appropriate.But the flip side is this: you do have to get some practice, right? Especially as you develop your knowledge beyond the basics. Otherwise it's going to feel too hard forever. It needs to be real-world practice, too, not just theory. You need ways to put your skills to work, even as you're in the process of developing them.Fear not, friends: we've got solutions for this. Today's episode of the Holistic Herbalism Podcast is all about a game you can play to get that practice in a way that is totally safe! It's simple, free, and guaranteed to boost your confidence & capability for making accurate assessments and giving good advice.Any questions?

How do you know when you can trust an herbalism teacher, influencer, book, or blog? How can you determine whether a scientific study has relevant information for your practice? Vetting your herbalism sources of information is an essential skill for students and practitioners alike.Today's episode, we lay out some red flags and green flags for this determination. These are indicators that you should be more cautious or skeptical on the one hand, or on the other hand that you can feel more trust in what you're told. They're not absolutes – no one data point is determinative – but they can help you more swiftly come to a decision.You can absolutely learn from teachers with flaws. In fact, you'll have to! We all have them. Still, if someone is out there telling you “this herb is Amish ibuprofen” or “this herb is nature's Ozempic”, those are strong signals that this person isn't interested in a grounded, nuanced, and detailed understanding of how herbs work in humans. Similar signals come from statements like “these are the lost secrets of ancient wisdom”, “everyone needs to take this one special herb”, and “the government & big pharma don't want you to know…” Each of these might begin from a truth or half-truth, but they obscure true history, individual variation, and the actual causes of over-medicalization in our society. Those who pass them on uncritically, or use them to gin up likes & follows, are doing you – and all herbalists – a disservice.Green flags for an herbal ‘authority' include clarity of context: “this herb is helpful here, for these people, for these problems; but not there, for those, or that.” This context can include elements such as energetic indications, action-centered (as opposed to disease-centered) claims about herbal efficacy, realistic consideration of contraindications or drug interactions, and a lot of specificity about format, dose, frequency, duration, and the other practical elements of how people work with herbs in the real world. The more of these you see a person offer, the more reliable you may judge their information to be.Scientific articles about herbs – and even moreso, popular press publications about those articles – carry red flags and green flags, too. The first step is always to assess whether a study, trial, or review article tells you anything which really applies to the work you do. If it's billed as an investigation into calamus safety, but it's actually a study of a single constituent of calamus essential oil, injected into mice at doses one could literally never encounter via eating calamus root, drinking its decoction, or taking its tincture – well, that's interesting, but it doesn't have any practical impact on whether you include calamus in a formula for your client.The basics of reading & understanding scientific studies come forward here. Is it on general populations, or a specific group of people (children, elders, those with a particular disease state)? Is it an actual trial on humans, or an animal study – or an in vitro / in silico investigation? If it's a review article, how did they select which sources to include and exclude?All that is true even before we get into the issue of AI articles and AI citations, but when you see those it's one of the reddest red flags of all. Even without the influence of AI, basic science errors (like mismatch between the botanical and common names of plants under study) can pop up. Then there are issues of funding, conflicts of interest, and the scourge of selective publication. Green flags, on the other hand, rise up when we find a study which includes traditional syndrome differentiations – the application of herbal energetics in the selection / review process of the trial. When a study's done on a ‘crude extract', like tea or tincture you can make at home, that's another sign that this information may really matter to you. Ideally, we'd get studies done on free-living humans, with the types of remedies we actually recommend to our clients – so again, the question comes down to: how close is this to our actual work?We'd like for everyone to go to an herbalism school where you can ask the teachers these kinds of questions, anytime you want. That's the kind of learning environment we provide! We like to we raise green flags, and we'd love for you to learn with us!

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared launches a brand-new series called Ancient Medicine Cabinet, exploring time-tested herbal traditions through the lens of modern science. The first herb under the microscope is Guggul, a resin used in Ayurvedic medicine for more than 3,000 years to support healthy fat metabolism, liver function, and overall vitality. Jared discusses the growing epidemic of fatty liver disease, why triglycerides may matter more than many people realize, and the fascinating connection between liver health, thyroid function, and metabolic efficiency. He also explains how Guggul works, who may benefit most from it, how to choose a quality supplement, and practical ways to support healthy liver function through nutrition and targeted supplementation. If you're interested in metabolic health, healthy aging, or the wisdom of traditional herbal medicine, this episode is a great place to start.Products:Vitality Nutrition LiverVitalityNature's Formulary GuggulNatural Factors Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)Natural Factors N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

On this episode, Jared sits down with Amber Lynn Vitale, certified nutritionist, Ayurvedic clinical consultant, and national educator for Sabinsa Wellness, to explore the fascinating world of Ayurvedic medicine and what it can teach us about personalized health. They discuss the importance of ingredient sourcing, raw material testing, and how to know you're getting a quality product when choosing supplements. Amber shares how ancient Ayurvedic principles focus on understanding the individual rather than treating everyone the same, and how modern research is beginning to validate many of these time-tested concepts. The conversation also dives into the rigorous standards Sabinsa uses to ensure purity, potency, and consistency in herbal ingredients. If you've ever wondered how to evaluate supplement quality or wanted a practical introduction to Ayurveda, this episode is a great place to start. Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Today we're sharing some thoughts about uncertainty versus imposter syndrome, and learning herbalism. Recently, we did a 20 Questions video for the folks at HerbRally – it ran nearly four hours long!  Two of the questions we were asked wove a theme together, and we wanted to share them here.The first question was “how do you deal with uncertainty as an herbalist?” The person asking this may have been expecting some kind of study trick that would help them to feel confident enough in their skills that they didn't feel uncertainty in their practice – like an antidote to imposter syndrome!But we have this sign in our apothecary that says “there's only the hard way” (and if you know, you know!) and that applies here: the way of herbalism is uncertain. Accepting the presence of uncertainty is the first step toward navigating it confidently.Now, we're not talking about under-training: the first thing to do is to get trained, of course. But once you have trained for years and years, and even once you've been in practice for years, you are still on a journey with uncertainty. Which sounds a little zen, perhaps – and actually, a little bit, it is! Training the mind to accept uncertainty, while still finding the truth of the moment, is as important a skill for an herbalist as it is for a monk.Next, someone asked us about mistakes new herbalists make, and how long it takes to “feel like you know what you're doing.” (Do you see a theme here?) They want to know if it's going to take years to feel confident, or if there's some way to accelerate the development of that confidence. Yes.These questions come up for lots of herbalists. Especially because a lot of us are practicing alone in our communities. Sure, there are herbal friends online, but maybe you're the only herbalist in your town, and you're feeling the weight of that solitude. A lot of folks don't have elders or mentors available, and that makes it harder to practice.One solution to that problem is online clinical herbalism mentorship – and we've got that for you!Did you know that you can book a one-on-one Zoom session with Katja to talk through your goals, your challenges, and how to get you where you want to be in your herbal practice? You can! It's open to anyone, and the easiest way to book one is to go to enroll in any free course – they're at the top of the list. (They're truly free: you don't even need a credit card.)

Accessibility in herbalism is not something extra or something nice-if-possible, it's a critical part of our work. The prices of the remedies we recommend can sometimes be a determining factor in whether our clients take them, or take them long enough to get results. In many cases we can identify less expensive herbs, or formulae of herbs, which can do the job of more costly ones. In order to make an effective substitution, we first need to clarify the qualities, actions, affinities, and other aspects of the herb for which we seek alternatives. Only then can we identify a good substitute.This episode includes thoughts and examples of potential substitutes for solomon's seal (Polygonatum biflorum), kava (Piper methysticum), Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng), dong quai (Angelica sinensis), teasel (Dipsacus fullonum), arnica (Arnica montana), chaga (Inonotus obliquus), goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), and schisandra (Schisandra chinensis).This is material we dig into deeply in our Accessible Herbalism course. That course is full of strategies and skills which enable herbalists to offer top-quality care to people who have constraints on their finances, time, energy, or community of support. It helps you understand the truth behind some of hte most common money-saving suggestions about herbalism and nutrition, so you can offer realistic suggestions which actually help people who need it most.Like everything we offer, it's a self-paced online video course. It comes with lifetime access to current & future course material, the twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you enjoyed the episode, it helps us a lot if you subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

When we're choosing herbs to help someone, knowing their medical diagnosis isn't enough: we don't choose herbs for a diagnosis. As herbalists, we actually need more information! A medical diagnosis is a specialized vocabulary which creates a shorthand so that people who already know what it means, how it happens, and how to fix it, can speak more efficiently about (whatever it is). It's not an objective truth, though: it's a descriptive label that is useful in a specialized context. Herbalism is a different context.That's why it's not very practical to try to look up something like “herbs for neuropathy caused by a herniated cervical disc” – because we can't actually make that list without leaving gaps large enough to drive a truck through. The name of the problem isn't enough information for us to choose herbs, we still have to get more data! We need to understand what the diagnostic term means in absolute terms, and we need to know what the person's experience of that diagnosis is (because not everyone with a certain label has the same experience), and then we need to figure out what herbs or what series of herbs have the actions we need to work toward a resolution.So here's how we think that through – taking this example, and asking: what does “neuropathy caused by a herniated cervical disc” mean for an herbalist? Where exactly can we dig into that to make an impact? What other information do we need to allow us to pick the right herbs to support this person?This process for thinking everything through will work for any problem! It's all in this episode.This example came up in one of our live Q&A sessions last week.

By special request, I discuss the medicinal properties of tobacco, most of which are topical.  Tobacco is a powerful herb that can be both useful and very toxic. Care and common sense must be exercised.  And, while I do not advocate its recreational use, it is by no means a bad or evil plant.  God made everything and declared it "good." While anything may be misused, nothing in nature should be demonized because of irresponsible or mis-use.Herbs that Heal(Catholic) Home Remedies to Forage and Growby Judson Carroll, Stephen Cunninghamhttps://sophiainstitute.com/product/herbs-that-heal/?oid=853&affid=281Also, I am back on Youtube Please subscribe to my channel: @judsoncarroll5902   Judson Carroll - YouTubeTune of the week:I Ain't Got Nobody on guitarI show you how to play a classic early jazz tune that has been a favorite at least since 1914! Emmett Miller had a hit with it in the 1920s, and Bob Wills in the 1930s, Louis Prima in the 1950s, David Lee Roth in the 1980s... and countless others. It has a great rhythm, which I enhance with some western swing style chords for a moving bass line. Then, I teach you a fingerstyle solo/break and give you some ideas to turn this tune into a real showstopper... this one is pure fun!!https://youtu.be/b4Qu2yGuJAcEmail: judson@judsoncarroll.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/southern-appalachian-herbs--4697544/supportRead about The Spring Foraging Cookbook: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-spring-foraging-cookbook.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRP63R54Medicinal Weeds and Grasses of the American Southeast, an Herbalist's Guidehttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/medicinal-weeds-and-grasses-of-american.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47LHTTHandConfirmation, an Autobiography of Faithhttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47Q1JNKVisit my Substack and sign up for my free newsletter:https://judsoncarroll.substack.com/Read about my new other books:Medicinal Ferns and Fern Allies, an Herbalist's Guide https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/11/medicinal-ferns-and-fern-allies.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMSZSJPSThe Omnivore's Guide to Home Cooking for Preppers, Homesteaders, Permaculture People and Everyone Else: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/10/the-omnivores-guide-to-home-cooking-for.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGKX37Q2Medicinal Shrubs and Woody Vines of The American Southeast an Herbalist's Guidehttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/06/medicinal-shrubs-and-woody-vines-of.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2T4Y5L6andGrowing Your Survival Herb Garden for Preppers, Homesteaders and Everyone Elsehttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/04/growing-your-survival-herb-garden-for.htmlhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X4LYV9RThe Encyclopedia of Medicinal Bitter Herbs: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/03/the-encyclopedia-of-bitter-medicina.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5MYJ35RandChristian Medicine, History and Practice: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/01/christian-herbal-medicine-history-and.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B09P7RNCTBHerbal Medicine for Preppers, Homesteaders and Permaculture People: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2021/10/herbal-medicine-for-preppers.htmlAlso available on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B09HMWXL25Podcast:  https://www.spreaker.com/show/southern-appalachian-herbsBlog: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/Free Video Lessons: Herbal Medicine 101 - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7QS6b0lQqEclaO9AB-kOkkvlHr4tqAbs

Plant ID apps are helpful (when they're accurate), but there is one drawback – they make it harder to learn plant ID for yourself. But there are ways to combat that so that you get good at plant ID – without having to memorize a ton of stuff.It's summer! Now is the time to be out there practicing with your plants. Yes, there are lots of apps that will try to identify plants for you, but this is about skill development – because when you know, you know. Working through the process of observation and identification isn't just a one-time thing, like sending a photo through a plant ID app – it builds and strengthens the pathways in your brain that you use to do the job. So let's get out there and be really looking at plants!In the Olden Times, when you wanted to identify a plant, you'd need a guide book. Each one is a little bit different, but usually there's a “key” to help you sort through all the possibilities and narrow in on a target. These start with distinct patterns, like opposite vs alternate leaf arrangement. Then you might look at the leaf edges, to see if they're serrated, smooth, or something else. At some point you'll look at the flowers, too: are they symmetrical? How many petals, and what color? All these details will help you to exclude some plants (or groups of them), so the set of plant descriptions & pictures you need to look at gets smaller and smaller, until you have a manageable number to work with.So that's how you'd use a plant ID guide, but notice something here: it all starts with observation. Even if you don't know what “pinnate” or “glabrous” means, you can observe features of your plant and recognize its patterns.In this episode, we'll demonstrate the observation process for you, and you can play along! We go outside and describe a plant we know and love, starting with its leaves, stems, flowers, and other clear features. But we won't show it to you until the very end. Can you figure out who we're talking about, before we show it to you? Notice the timestamp when you have a guess.Even if you don't recognize it until we show it to you – or even after we do – it's the process, the attention, and the habit of close looking that we really want to instill in you today. The more you practice observation, the better you'll get at plant ID.Wanna learn more techniques to help you with plant identification, as well as with learning herbalism in general and retaining the stuff you're studying? Grab the free Herbal Study Tips course! This fun course is designed to make all your learning – whether that's with us, from other teachers, from books, or from the plants themselves – more exciting and effective.Like all our offerings, this is a self-paced online video course, which comes with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions, lifetime access to current & future course material, twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you enjoyed the episode, it helps us a lot if you subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Life is pretty overwhelming right now, and it's affecting the way our brains function. When we can't focus or can't remember things, we typically blame it on things like perimenopause or ADHD – but the literal firehose of data that comes at us every day is an even bigger cause: it's a LOT for our brains to process!Tulsi can help!Truly one of the most versatile and multifaceted herbs on the planet, tulsi is a must-know plant for any herbalist. Its capacity as a nervine is immediately palpable, as it helps us release tension and anxiety without causing any sedation. When taken over the long term, tulsi expresses itself as an adaptogen – helping us to move more easily out of a stress response, back to a comfortable and calm baseline.

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. He has been teaching and helping clients for 30 years, artfully blending Chinese and Western herbal traditions with a focus on local plants. His book Southeast Medicinal Plants covers how to identify, ethically harvest, and use the wild plants of the Southeastern United States.Whether you're navigating transition, tending old wounds, or simply delighting in the beauty of mimosa flowers, may this episode remind you that healing often begins with connection: to our bodies, to each other, and to the rest of the living world around us.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

After diagnosis, we often become experts in our own brains. We learn about the hormones, read all the books, listen to all the podcasts, explore the different strategies and systems, and build our own scaffolding to support our ADHD. But sometimes, even when we're doing all the right things, something still feels missing.Plants have been supporting human health for thousands of years.

Today we discuss an herb with a fascinating history.  We think of rhubarb as a spring vegetable... if we think of it at all.  It is considered an old fashioned ingredient for pies and jellies.  It is actually both a very nutritious perennial food, and a powerful medicinal herb.  Rhubarb was once imported to western Europe through Asian trade routs, and considered as valuable as silk, diamonds and pearls!Also, I am back on Youtube Please subscribe to my channel: @judsoncarroll5902   Judson Carroll - YouTubeEmail: judson@judsoncarroll.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/southern-appalachian-herbs--4697544/supportRead about The Spring Foraging Cookbook: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-spring-foraging-cookbook.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRP63R54Medicinal Weeds and Grasses of the American Southeast, an Herbalist's Guidehttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/medicinal-weeds-and-grasses-of-american.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47LHTTHandConfirmation, an Autobiography of Faithhttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47Q1JNKVisit my Substack and sign up for my free newsletter:https://judsoncarroll.substack.com/Read about my new other books:Medicinal Ferns and Fern Allies, an Herbalist's Guide https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/11/medicinal-ferns-and-fern-allies.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMSZSJPSThe Omnivore's Guide to Home Cooking for Preppers, Homesteaders, Permaculture People and Everyone Else: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/10/the-omnivores-guide-to-home-cooking-for.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGKX37Q2Medicinal Shrubs and Woody Vines of The American Southeast an Herbalist's Guidehttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/06/medicinal-shrubs-and-woody-vines-of.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2T4Y5L6andGrowing Your Survival Herb Garden for Preppers, Homesteaders and Everyone Elsehttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/04/growing-your-survival-herb-garden-for.htmlhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X4LYV9RThe Encyclopedia of Medicinal Bitter Herbs: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/03/the-encyclopedia-of-bitter-medicina.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5MYJ35RandChristian Medicine, History and Practice: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2022/01/christian-herbal-medicine-history-and.htmlAvailable for purchase on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B09P7RNCTBHerbal Medicine for Preppers, Homesteaders and Permaculture People: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2021/10/herbal-medicine-for-preppers.htmlAlso available on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B09HMWXL25Podcast:  https://www.spreaker.com/show/southern-appalachian-herbsBlog: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/Free Video Lessons: Herbal Medicine 101 - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7QS6b0lQqEclaO9AB-kOkkvlHr4tqAbsBECOME A SUPPORTER FOR AD FREE PODCASTS, EARLY ACCESS & TONS OF MEMBERS ONLY CONTENT!Red Beacon Ready OUR PREPAREDNESS SHOPThe Prepper's Medical Handbook Build Your Medical Cache – Welcome PBN FamilySupport PBN with a Donation Join the Prepper Broadcasting Network for expert insights on #Survival, #Prepping, #SelfReliance, #OffGridLiving, #Homesteading, #Homestead building, #SelfSufficiency, #Permaculture, #OffGrid solutions, and #SHTF preparedness.

Jared starts this new series, Herbal Secrets, by diving into one of natural health's most overlooked tools: neem. Often known for its topical use, neem is far more than a simple antimicrobial—it's what Jared calls a “terrain shifter,” helping support balance in the skin and gut microbiome rather than simply eliminating microbes. You'll learn how neem may help maintain healthy microbial balance, support normal inflammatory responses, and assist the body's natural detoxification processes. Jared breaks down topical vs. internal uses, including applications for skin health, oral care, and gut support, along with practical strategies for combining neem with enzymes and probiotics. If you're dealing with persistent imbalances or looking to support whole-body resilience, this episode offers a fresh perspective on restoring balance from the inside out. Products:TheraNeem Cleansing BarTheraNeem CreamTheraNeem Leaf & Aloe GelTheraNeem OilNOW Tea Tree OilSolaray Neem Leaf CapsulesPure Essence CandexCellCore Biotoxin BinderSolaray Charcoal CapsulesFood Movement Black Earth Zeolite Humic Fulvic MineralsPrecision Probiotic Vital SporesAdditional Information:#616: Microbiome Balance from Mouth to Gut: Foundations of Clearing and Rebuilding with Biocidin – Part 1#617: Microbiome Balance from Mouth to Gut: Protocols for Clearing and Rebuilding with Biocidin – Part 2Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

We've come to the end of the “mainstream” top-40 best-selling herbs list! Dandelion, rhubarb, and ginseng take the last three spots.Dandelion is an herbal workhorse. It's inexpensive because it's ubiquitous, and its resilience is legendary – dandelion coming up through the concrete is one of the herbalist's favorite symbols of resistance and the power of nature. Much more than a simple “detox” herb, dandelion root and leaf improve the functions of our liver and kidneys, feed both us and our gut flora, and eliminate excess fluids from the system. Its bright yellow flowers can even lift our spirits when taken in tincture or wine – this is one of Ryn's indispensable herbal remedies for the winter doldrums.Rhubarb root used to be much more of an herbal mainstay than it is in contemporary herbalism. The Eclectics of the 19th century worked with it extensively, largely for its “cathartic” – stimulant laxative – properties. It is a key ingredient in the famous “neutralizing cordial”, a formula developed in that era and designed to be a nearly-universal remedy for digestive upsets of all sorts. This remedy is still prepared by herbalists today, though often with some variations in the ingredient list.Ginseng needs no introduction. It is one of the most famous medicinal herbs in the world, and it is “the original adaptogen” – the category which has spawned millions of dollars in product sales in our stressed-out, depleted, fatigued society. Ginseng products can be extremely helpful, but you absolutely cannot simply buy the first one you find: these remedies are very prone to adulteration.

On this episode, Jared introduces one of the most overlooked yet powerful herbs for supporting immune balance, inflammatory response, and overall resilience - Andrographis. Unlike typical “immune boosters,” andrographis works at a deeper, systems level—helping regulate how your immune system responds day to day. You'll learn how this traditional Ayurvedic herb supports healthy immune signaling, promotes balanced inflammatory pathways, and may be especially helpful for those dealing with chronic stress, immune imbalance, or lingering recovery issues. Jared also breaks down dosing and how to choose the right formula for your needs. If you're looking for foundational immune support rather than quick fixes, this episode will help you understand when andrographis fits—and when it doesn't.Products:Terry Naturally EP-80 Extra StrengthSolaray Andrographis ExtractTerry Naturally Andrographis & AshwagandhaVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.
