Podcasts about Herbal medicine

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. Those are a perk enjoyed by every one of our students – whether they're enrolled in a full program like Family Herbalist or Community Herbalist, a single course like Neurological & Emotional Health, or even one of our free short courses such as Herbal Study Tips. Anyone who's learning from us can ask us questions directly at these sessions, twice a week. And if you can't make it live, we keep an archive – there are more than 500 archived Q&A sessions for you to look through! (Don't worry, there's a searchable index so you can find what you're interested in.)Everything we offer is presented in self-paced online video courses, which come 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.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared dives into the fascinating world of moringa, often called the “miracle tree,” and explains why this nutrient-dense herb deserves real attention beyond the hype. Jared breaks down the history, traditional uses, and modern clinical research behind moringa's role in supporting healthy blood sugar, inflammation balance, antioxidant activity, cardiovascular wellness, and overall vitality. He also explains how moringa differs from typical greens powders, why it functions as both a superfood and tonic herb, and how to use it effectively for metabolic health and daily nutritional support. Plus, Jared shares practical dosing guidance, supplement quality tips, smart supplement stacks, and his thoughts on moringa's emerging research in cellular health and healthy aging support.Products:MoringaNatural Factors BerberineSolaray ProSorb BerberineGLP-1 Metabolic ActivatorCuramed CurcuminAshwagandhaVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

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.

In this episode of Tech Talk by OptimalRx, Andrew Whitfield-Cook sits down with herbalist and naturopath Michelle Cose to explore the power of collaboration within the natural medicine profession. Drawing on more than 30 years of clinical experience, Michelle shares why connection, mentorship and community are essential for both practitioner growth and the future of herbal medicine.Together, they discuss the isolation many practitioners face, the importance of sharing knowledge across generations, and why collaboration, not competition, strengthens the entire industry. Michelle also highlights the value of creating supportive practitioner communities, nurturing students entering the profession, and preserving the wisdom of experienced clinicians before it is lost.This is an inspiring and thought provoking conversation about leadership, legacy, professional connection and the future of natural healthcare.Send us Fan Mailwww.optimalrx.com.au

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. Tulsi is also very flexible, and can be formulated with lots of other nervines and mental health herbs to create a perfectly personalized formula.Some of our favorite herbs to pair with tulsi include:Ground ivy – for moving the lymph in your head (ear/nose/throat) – and maybe even the glymph in your brain!Elderflower – for draining stuck fluids from the head, and for releasing tense heatGinkgo – for increasing blood flow to the brain and protecting the health of nervesRosemary – for cutting through the fog and sharpening the mindPeppermint – for a breath of cool air moving through your mind, and for releasing tension held in the bellyStill feeling stressed? Check out our new Stress Management course! Learn all about adaptogens, nervines, restoratives, and herbs to lift your spirits in this inexpensive, focused course.

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. But could they support your ADHD brain, too?This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Ellen Rowland, a Medical Herbalist and Aromatherapist who works 1:1 with neurodivergent people.Ellen isn't here to replace anything that's already working for you.

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.

This week, I begin to discuss grain.  What has changed in recent years to cause so many people to have issues digesting wheat gluten?  It is multi-faceted, and there are ways this may be reversed.  I also discuss the nutritional and medicinal benefits of ancient forms of wheat and oats. Also, I am back on Youtube Please subscribe to my channel: @judsoncarroll5902   Judson Carroll - YouTubeRough and Rowdy Ways Guitar Lesson (Fingerstyle in C) | Jimmie Rodgers / Doc Watson StyleLearn how to play Rough and Rowdy Ways on guitar in this fingerstyle lesson inspired by Jimmie Rodgers and Doc Watson. This classic country-blues tune has been played countless ways over the years, and in this lesson I break down a simple, musical approach in the key of C. We'll go through the chord progression, picking pattern, intro lick, and a movable chord break—all designed to give you a solid foundation while encouraging you to make the song your own. This version leans toward the Doc Watson style but uses fingerpicking instead of a flatpick, making it perfect for players looking to develop a strong roots guitar sound.https://youtu.be/H48lNb677fEEmail: 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

This week, I discuss the Herbal Medicine of Maurice Messegue.  Messegue was a French herbalist, who was the most famous herbalist in the world around 1950.  He treated kings and queens, prime ministers and presidents, stars of the stage and screen... and the poor of Paris.  His remarkable story unfolds a fascinating and nearly lost history of French folk medicine.  I believe his unique, family system of herbal medicine has the potential to be the most dramatic addition to western herbalism imaginable.Also, I am back on Youtube Please subscribe to my channel: @judsoncarroll5902   Judson Carroll - YouTubeCandy Man Guitar Lesson (Mississippi John Hurt Style) | Easy Fingerstyle Blues in ALearn how to play Candy Man in the style of Mississippi John Hurt with this easy, step-by-step fingerstyle guitar lesson.

South Korea is most famously known as the “Land of the Morning Calm.” This poetic nickname is a back-translation of the ancient name Choson (or Joseon), where cho means “morning” and son means “fresh” or “bright.” Starting around 1000 years ago during the Goryeo Dynasty, Korean herbal medicine — known as Hanbang — began to distinguish itself from Chinese traditions by focusing on indigenous flora. This era saw the compilation of the Hyangyak Gugeupbang (Emergency Remedies using Native Drugs), the oldest surviving medical book in Korea.It shifted the focus toward Hyangyak, or “homegrown medicine,” ensuring that the common people had access to local herbs like mugwort, garlic, and wild ginseng rather than relying on expensive imported Chinese ingredients. This period established the philosophical foundation that the human body is a miniature universe, where health is maintained through the balance of Yin and Yang and the smooth flow of Qi. Monasteries and government-run dispensaries became hubs for refining these botanical formulas, treating everything from seasonal fevers to digestive issues.Around 1000 years ago during the Goryeo Dynasty, the “Land of the Morning Calm” began weaving a sophisticated tapestry of mental health care through the lens of Hanbang. In this era, the mind and body were viewed as an inseparable unity; mental distress was not seen as a purely “brain-based” issue but as a disharmony of the Five Viscera. For example, excessive grief was linked to the lungs, while anger was tied to the liver. To treat the “afflictions of the spirit,” Goryeo physicians utilized Hyangyak (native herbs) like Baekbokryeong (Poria cocos), a fungus found on pine roots known to “calm the heart and soothe the nerves.” This holistic approach was revolutionary because it focused on restoring the flow of Qi (energy) to alleviate symptoms of what we now call anxiety or depression. Rather than isolating the patient, herbal concoctions were used to stabilize the internal environment, allowing the spirit to return to a state of “Morning Calm.”The evolution of mental healing reached its sophisticated peak during the Joseon Dynasty, particularly with the 17th-century masterpiece, the Dongui Bogam. The physician Heo Jun documented extensive treatments for Hwa-byung (fire-illness), a unique Korean psychosomatic disorder caused by suppressed emotions. The primary herbal strategy involved “cooling the fire” of the heart. Formulas such as Cheongsimhwan (Clear Heart Pill), containing a complex blend of herbs including wild ginseng and dried ginger, were used to treat palpitations and emotional instability.

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. That, too, is an old problem: historical texts are littered with descriptions of adulteration and falsification of supposedly mature, supposedly Panax roots which were nothing of the kind. Some things never change…CLICK HERE FOR FULL SHOW NOTES & REFERENCES“Detox” came up in this episode (again), and we hinted at the issues rampant in this category of supplement products. For the full story, you'll want to dig in to our course Elements of Detoxification. This course takes a fresh look at the concepts of “toxicity” and “detoxification”, a holistic perspective that goes beyond “cleanses” and products.

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.

At number 35, 36, and 37 on the list of top-selling herbal supplements we find bacopa, senna, and rhodiola.Bacopa is also known as brahmi, and this name is just as often given to gotu kola (Centella asiatica) as well. This is because both are known by that name in Ayurvedic herbalism, where they originate. Both are able to improve mental clarity and cognitive function, and have the same type of energetics as well as growth habits. For practical purposes they are nearly identical, but their chemistry does differ, so the best extraction method may not be the same for both, and this could be relevant in the context of a commercial extract capsule.Senna is one of the cathartic stimulant laxatives. It is possible to become dependent on senna – not after one dose, but if taken for several days running. A person may then find it difficult to move the bowels without taking it every day. Better not to get into that situation! In the commercial context, note that this herb is often included in ‘detox' and ‘weight loss' supplements… although it does not truly serve either of those functions in a root-cause or restorative manner.Rhodiola is a very stimulating adaptogen, and so it's no wonder people talk about it as an ‘herb of happiness' or even an ‘herbal antidepressant'! But that is a misleading way to think of the root, and it can lead to some bad choices. This one is particularly drying, so unless your constitution (or local environment) are very damp, it's best to include demulcents in your protocol whenever taking rhodiola.CLICK HERE FOR FULL SHOW NOTES & REFERENCESAs you've heard in today's episode, one of the ways we can understand these herbs is by attention to their chemistry. Which constituents contribute to their effects? What synergy exists between the many different chemicals a plant contains? Which constituents are shared between herbs with similar actions? If these questions pique your interest, you're in luck! Our Basic Phytochemistry course for herbalists is a low-pressure introduction to the practical aspects of plant chemistry, the ones which are most relevant to the practice of herbalism.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 have a moment, it would help us a lot if you could subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Samuel Perry RH (AHG) is a clinical herbalist, medicine maker and herbal educator in Upstate New York. Practicing in the Vitalist and eclectic tradition of American Herbalism, Sam offers compassionate attention and practical support in all manner of health concerns. An instructor and core faculty at Arbor Vitae School of Traditional Herbalism, Sam teaches herbal energetics and Materia Medica, helps supervise a free bi-weekly student clinic, leads plant walks, and offers medicine making demonstrations.  A long-time practitioner of Zen Buddhism, Sam also leads meditation retreats. His work as an herbalist and his knowledge of and love for the living world offers a unique vantage point from which to engage these practices. His commitment to the ever-unfolding awakening of all beings is expressed in a playful and fluid style. Episode Highlights ▶ Sam shares why psilocybin belongs within the larger tradition of herbalism, not as a standalone medicine, but as part of an ancient, living lineage. ▶ Beth and Sam introduce their upcoming program,The Energetics of Psilocybin & Herbal Medicine:  Remembering & Restoring the Missing Piece in Contemporary Psychedelic Practice, focusing on the often-neglected energetic dimensions of psilocybin. ▶ How the "Amazon Prime effect" shapes how many approach plant medicines, seeking instant healing rather than building a true relationship with the medicine ▶ Herbalism offers practical support for the physical discomforts of a journey (nausea, cramping, racing heart) so attention can stay on the teaching. ▶ Understanding your own energetic constitution changes how you receive and digest these medicines, because no two bodies have the same experience ▶ True set and setting goes deeper than intention and environment. It includes diet, sleep, relationships, medications, and the life you're returning to. ▶ Integration isn't a post-journey practice. It's the whole path. ▶ Our ancestors were not preliminary, and the traditions they carried hold a depth that modern science is only beginning to approach ▶ A practical herbal kit gives facilitators and personal journeyers alike the tools to support any body through any stage of the experience ▶ Building soil, the conditions for these medicines to truly take root, is the deeper intention behind everything this program offers   Sam Perry's Links & Resources ▶ Website: https://www.arborvitaeny.com/corefaculty/samuel-perry ▶  https://ravencrestbotanicals.com/pages/retreat-schedule-2026 ▶ The Energetics of Psilocybin & Herbal Medicine:  Remembering & Restoring the Missing Piece in Contemporary Psychedelic Practice: https://bethaweinstein.com/energetics-of-psilocybin/ Download Beth's free trainings here: Clarity to Clients: Start & Grow a Transformational Coaching, Healing, Spiritual, or Psychedelic Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/grow-your-spiritual-businessIntegrating Psychedelics & Sacred Medicines Into Business: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelics-in-business▶ Beth's Coaching & Guidance: https://bethaweinstein.com/coaching ▶ Beth's Offerings & Courses: https://bethaweinstein.com/services▶ Instagram: @bethaweinstein ▶ FB: / bethw.nyc + bethweinsteinbiz ▶ Join the free Psychedelics & Purpose Community: / psychedelicsandsacredmedicines

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared takes a deep dive into one of the world's most respected adaptogenic herbs: ginseng.

Jared explains how ginseng supports steady energy, resilience to stress, physical stamina, and healthy aging without the stimulating effects of caffeine. He also breaks down the science of ginsenosides, why red ginseng is often preferred, and how to choose high-quality extracts for optimal results. Whether you're exploring adaptogens for the first time or looking to fine-tune your supplement routine, this episode offers practical insight to help you make informed decisions about incorporating ginseng into a balanced, vitality-focused lifestyle.Products:Terry Naturally Red Ginseng ProductsAction Labs for Men Ginseng Powermax 4XBlue Bonnet American GinsengVitality Nutrition Vital NMN LongevityUltimate Vitality MultiVitality Radio POW!

Herbal Medicine, Quality Control, and Adulteration Prevention: Mark Blumenthal, founder and executive director of the American Botanical Council (ABC), recounts his entry into herbalism via vegetarianism in 1968, off-grid living, and starting a wholesale herb business in 1974 before shifting to nonprofit education, research, advocacy, and quality control. The discussion covers the evolution from teas and tinctures to standardized extracts, the complexity and synergy of multiple constituents, and how standardization supports quality control and therapeutic consistency. Blumenthal explains ABC's Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program and its free, peer-reviewed resources addressing global fraud, plus GMP requirements and laboratory methods for identity, contamination, and potency testing. He discusses herbs including ashwagandha, turmeric/curcumin and adulteration risks, maca, nigella, and milk thistle, and outlines ABC resources, HerbClip, and membership options at herbalgram.org.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Mark Blumenthal, founder and executive director of the American Botanical Council (ABC).

Back to it! Today's best-seller herbal supplements are CBD, fennel, and oats. To the extent there's overlap between these, it's some capacity to touch on the nervous system – or at least, in the case of fennel, digestive symptoms which can be due to stress and anxiety.CBD is a widely-known, and yet poorly-understood, substance. It is not identical to a full-spectrum cannabis extract, neither in terms of its range of effects nor its safety profile with respect to adverse effects or addiction. Its regulatory status in the US also complicates matters: nationally legal only when certain criteria are met, and of varying legality state to state. It is neither a cure-all nor a placebo, and variance between products makes direct comparisons tricky.Fennel is one of the herbs on this list with the greatest similarity between folk and traditional medicine applications and its modern market presentation. As a carminative, sweet demulcent, and mild galactagogue, it is helpful for a variety of discomforts. Its pleasant and familiar flavor is a strong point in its favor, and it plays very nicely in formula with other herbs.At our school, we don't devote much attention to oats, whether milky oats or oat straw. We have reservations about its purported actions – particularly oat straw – and about its potential to trigger those who are gluten-sensitive. This does set us apart from basically every other herb school and herbalist out there, we admit it! Still, its popularity both with the general public and among herbal practitioners is undeniable, so it's worth understanding the nature of these discussions.CLICK HERE FOR FULL SHOW NOTES & REFERENCESNerve pain? Agitation impacting digestion? Burnout? CBD, fennel, and oats may be helpful with these problems, but you'll get better results by learning the underlying physiology of your nervous system and how herbs can influence it. Our Neurological & Emotional Health course is a user's guide to your nerves, your emotions, and the herbs who can lift you, hold you, brace you, and sustain you. We teach holistic herbal strategies for addressing both neurological & psychological health issues.
