Our semi-annual 20% off Sale is active now!For the entire month of July,use code hawthorn at checkoutto take 20% off all our online courses!Sussing out herb-drug interactions is complicated! In this episode we take the example of Celexa + skullcap, and demonstrate the process of investigation we'd use to sort out whether a proposed risk is real.We start with the Botanical Safety Handbook, because it has certain features which make it significantly better than other manuals or databases. These include the varied relevant experience and skills of the editorial team, its clarity about real vs theorized reactions, and other critical data points which are directly relevant to the herbalist's practice.Checking one resource isn't sufficient, though. We also need to consider the fact that ‘absence of evidence is not evidence of absence', and remember that constitutional variations can significantly change the efficacy of a given herb for a particular person. Information outside of scientific studies – such as the popularity of an herb or the prevalence of a drug, as well as traditional practices with plants – can help us to orient ourselves more precisely.For further education about herb-drug interactions:Herb-Drug Interactions & Herb Safety – our complete course on this subject teaches you all the ins & outs of identifying potential interactions, avoiding them, and conducting reality checks on information you encounter about these risks.The Botanical Safety Handbook – our #1 resource for this information.HHP 101: How Herbs Are Different From Drugs – a key episode of our podcast, these concepts are helpful when learning how HDI may occur.Everything's on sale in July!All our offerings are self-paced online video courses.

To Benefit from a Functional Mushroom, You Need to Know What You're Getting.Not all fungal products are equal. Functional "mushroom" products generally contain EITHER the mushroom (fruiting body) OR the mycelium (vegetative body). Notice the quotations around the word "mushroom."Even though mushrooms and mycelium are two very distinct and different parts of these fungal organisms, some supplement purveyors label their products as containing mushrooms when in fact, they contain only grain, and the mycelium that grows on it.  Both the scientific research and respected practitioners in the field confirm that the functional value is higher when using the mushroom, rather than the mycelium. Especially if it's a mycelium fermented grain product, which ends up being mostly grain.Guest: Chief Medical Herbalist Lee Carroll from the Real Mushrooms Science & Medical Team.

In this conversation, Ric Scalzo, founder of Kokora, shares his journey into the world of regenerative agriculture and herbal medicine. He discusses the healing power of herbs, the principles of rest, restore, and revitalize, and the importance of living in harmony with nature. Ric emphasizes the connection between soil health and human immunity, and how Kokora aims to demonstrate the benefits of regenerative practices through its products. The conversation also touches on the future of Kokora, the role of the Ric Scalzo Institute for Botanical Research at Sonoran University in advancing herbal research, and the importance of kindness and compassion in creating a better world. Takeaways: Ric Scalzo is the founder of Kokora, a brand focused on herbal remedies and regenerative living. Kokora grows its herbs using regenerative organic practices on their farm in Costa Rica. The healing power of herbs is rooted in nature's wisdom. Rest, restore, and revitalize are key principles of regenerative living. Ric's journey into herbal medicine began through meditation. Observing nature's wisdom is essential for learning and growth. Kokora aims to demonstrate the benefits of regenerative agriculture and lifestyle. Nutrient density and yields of herbs are significantly increased through regenerative practices. The connection between soil health and human immunity is crucial. Living in harmony with nature's cycles is vital for well-being.  Sound bites: "in naturopathic school I learned that there were three principles of healing: rest, restore, and revitalize.” "I trust and value that nature's wisdom is the highest form of wisdom." "I spent the last three years looking at traveling to these centenarian zones, these blue zones, trying to understand why these people live long and healthy lives." "You have to serve your purpose and show up in a way that really is committed to that every day.” "If we can transform the microbiome of the soil, we can get more nutrient-dense food and medicine, we can sequester carbon, we can clean up our waters, and we can really make a very broad impact the Earth." "We grow all our herbs that feed into our products through a regenerative organic practice.” “When you talk about regenerative agriculture and restoring the immunity, it has its foundation in restoring the biodiversity of our gut." "Observing nature's wisdom is essential for learning." “The more we can learn from nature and live in harmony with its cycles, the better off we'll be."  Links:Ric Scalzo on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ric-scalzo-6b193217/Kokora - https://kokoralife.com/Kokora on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/stores/KokoraLife/page/34539696-0079-4DDB-9860-7CD1E5228BDBKokora on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/kokoralife/Kokora on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kokoralifeKokora on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kokoraliferegeneratedKokora on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KokoraLife…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radio Chapters:03:00 Introduction to Kokora and Ric Scalzo04:17 The Journey to Herbal Medicine07:56 Understanding Nature's Wisdom11:33 The Principles of Regenerative Healing14:26 The Birth of Kokora17:08 Research and Nutrient Density in Plants21:12 The Impact of Regenerative Agriculture23:33 Restoring Immunity through Regenerative Practices25:59 The Importance of Rest in Daily Life29:46 Aligning with Nature's Rhythms31:21 Introducing Kokora: A New Brand32:01 The Future of Kokora's Product Line36:05 Innovative Research and Development39:58 The Role of the Institute42:40 Where to Find Kokora Products44:02 Lessons from a Long Career47:26 Favorite Functional Foods and Recipes51:22 Recommendations for Future Guests52:35 Envisioning a Better WorldSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

His mission is to develop a comprehensive approach that balances the science and spirituality of plant medicine, focusing on using plants to heal and rejuvenate the body, clarify the mind, open the heart, and support the development of the soul. This is only achieved through understanding and working with the chemical, energetic, and spiritual properties of the plants.

Episode 172 - It's Not HRT or Herbal – It's What Works for YouIn today's episode, I'm doing something a little different. I've pulled together five short clips from past episodes of The Menopause and Cancer Podcast — covering everything from HRT after breast cancer, to herbal treatments, sleep support, and even intimacy after cancer.Why? Because this week, my book Navigating Menopause After Cancer is officially at the printers — and I still can't quite believe it! I wanted to share a little preview of what's inside. These clips reflect the heart of the book: a holistic menopause after cancer toolkit with real expert advice, real options, and the belief that no one approach is better than another. It's about finding what's safe, what's effective, and what works for you.I always go to the right expert for the right topic — because that's how we build truly trustworthy knowledge. I wouldn't ask a cancer exercise specialist to talk about herbs, and I wouldn't ask a herbalist about surgical recovery. Each voice in today's mash-up speaks from the experience in their field.These are just a few of the amazing contributors to the podcast — and I'm proud to say that over 20 brilliant doctors and specialists contributed to the actual book.Below, I have linked all the full YouTube videos from the short clips. Just click on the words: Exercise, Herbal Medicine, Sleep, HRT after breast cancer, IntimacyAnd finally, you can buy a copy of Navigating Menopause After Cancer super soon - keep your eyes peeled!Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro05:53 "Exercise Boosts Sleep, Reduces Depression"07:54 Herbal Medicine Insights for Cancer Survivors10:55 Phytoestrogens: Potential Cancer Benefits13:49 "Zoe's Sleep Improvement Tips"18:37 Navigating HRT Conversations After Cancer22:55 Shared Decision-Making in HRT27:21 Challenging Emotional Complexity Perceptions Connect with us:For more information and resources visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Or follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub

Bandaids are undeniably handy, and there are plenty of situations where they do the job that needs doing. But there are also lots of times when a wound is too big, too irregular, or too sensitive for a bandaid to be the best choice. That's where bespoke bandaging comes into play! You can learn bandaging basics really quickly – yes, even through podcast audio – and that's what today's episode is all about.Bandages are extremely versatile and customizable – even without getting a dozen different types of gauze and pads. Truly, a box of 2″ and 4″ roller gauze, plus some gauze pads and micropore tape, is plenty for most situations you'll run into. For the purposes of practice, they're all you need to get started.When you're practicing your bandaging technique, your big goal is to make the bandages neat, secure, and yet still allowing for a normal range of motion. The best way to get good at this is to practice. The best way to practice is to get some friends together for a “mummy party”, where everyone gets bandaged by everyone else!We're highlighting first aid herbalism on the podcast all month. You can use the discount code FIRSTAID during checkout for $25 off of our Herbal First Aid course for the month of June (2025)!Our Herbal First Aid course has plenty of video showing you bandaging techniques, tips, and tricks!

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Jannine Krause explores the intricate relationship between weight gain and sexual health. She discusses how changes in body weight can affect circulation, confidence, and libido, and emphasizes the importance of addressing these issues holistically. Drawing from her experiences and insights from Chinese medicine, she highlights the role of digestion, stress, and lifestyle habits in weight management. The episode also offers practical solutions, including dietary adjustments and herbal remedies, to help listeners regain balance and improve their overall health.   What You'll Learn In This Episode: Weight gain can impact sexual health and libido. Circulation changes with weight gain affect confidence. Chinese medicine offers insights into weight management. Damp accumulation in the body can lead to weight gain. Stress affects liver function and digestion. Eating habits and meal timing are crucial for digestion. Herbal remedies can support digestive health. Weight gain patterns are often linked to lifestyle changes. Maintaining balance in the body is essential for health. Open communication about sexual health is important in relationships. Resources From The Show: HCL Challenge - Get Thorne Betaine HCL + Pepsin - take one capsule with meal one and watch for any burning, no burning go for 2 capsules with the next meal and increase by one capsule till you either reach 5 capsules or you have a slight burning in the stomach. The more capsules you can tolerate without a burn the more deficient in stomach acid you are. Use 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a few ounces of water and drink it. You can repeat the baking soda drink if needed. Most people will end up taking between 2-6 HCI capsules per meal. Digestive Enzymes - Steven Wright's Company "Healthy Gut" - HCL Guard + Holozymes Apex Energetics - Enzymix Pro Active Herb - herbal company Blue Poppy Herbs Herbs I mentioned in the podcast: Gui Pi Tang — For weak digestion and fluid retention. If you feel puffy or gain weight quickly after eating, this is your ally. Shan Zha Jian Zhi Pian — This one breaks down fat. It's amazing for folks who stress eat or binge on sugar. Long Dan Xie Gan Wan — Helps the liver chill out, especially if you're dealing with reflux, constipation, and bloating. Ba Zhen Tang — When you're just wiped out, lacking motivation, or not even hungry, this one helps restore yang and blood to energize the body. Liu Wei Di Huang Wan — This is a staple for perimenopause and menopause support. It nourishes yin and helps with vaginal dryness, low libido, and overall hormone balance. Chinese Medicine Patterns I talk about: Damp accumulation: That puffy, sluggish weight gain Phlegm: Which is the Chinese term often equated to fat gain Liver Qi Stagnation: When stress causes your liver to "attack" your digestion Blood and Yang Deficiency: Low energy, lack of movement, low motivation

When putting together a bug-out bag in case of emergencies, don't forget your herbs! Just like a first aid kit, a go bag is best when you construct it according to your specific needs, and the needs of people you'll be with. This isn't a “one size fits all” situation!The same goes for circumstances when you need to shelter in place. A ‘stay-in stash' is just a go-bag without the go. It's an orderly, intentional accumulation of all the things you'll need if the power goes out for a week, or you can't leave your home for an extended period of time.Herbs, food, and ‘everything else' all need to go in there – and don't forget water! In this episode we discuss what to include, what to avoid, and ways to keep your stock rotating and fresh for a moment of need.Mentioned in this episode:HHP 233: Emergency Readiness Needs A Meal PlanFEMA AppWe're highlighting first aid herbalism on the podcast all month.

Have you ever found yourself wondering about the incredible healing capabilities that exist within the natural world of plants? Like many people today, we often automatically reach for conventional over-the-counter medicines without pausing to consider the powerful natural alternatives. This week, I'm talking with trained herbalist Tasha Rose to explore the fascinating and time-honored tradition of plant medicine and herbal remedies. We take a deep dive into the remarkable ways herbs can provide support for both your immune and nervous systems, and discuss natural alternatives to common medications that you might find in your medicine cabinet. We'll explore how different forms of stress, from mild daily stress to chronic ongoing stress and short-term extreme stress, can be addressed using nourishing herbs, adaptogens, and nervines. Plus, Tasha shares her inspiring personal journey from being a curious plant enthusiast to becoming a professionally trained herbalist, and reveals how she helps families create their own natural medicine cabinets, stocked with effective herbal remedies that actually work. She'll introduce us to powerful herbs like Oat Straw for nervous system support, Tulsi (Holy Basil) for stress resilience, Ashwaganda for strength and balance, and gentle Chamomile for both nervous and digestive comfort.

In this episode, we take a high-level look at what happens when you combine two of the most contrasting—and complementary—herbs in North American herbalism: Cayenne (Capsicum annuum) and Lobelia (Lobelia inflata). One stimulates, one relaxes—and together they create a powerful synergy that supports circulation, respiration, and neuromuscular function.  You'll also hear insights on how their energetic and constitutional profiles apply to vāta patterns in Ayurveda and Mercury archetypes in astrology.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most powerful herb pairs in North American herbalism—Cayenne (Capsicum annuum) and Lobelia (Lobelia inflata).  These two plants represent the archetypal stimulant and relaxant, and when used together, they reveal deep patterns in how herbal energetics function. You'll also discover how this triad—stimulant, relaxant, and tonic—connects to core principles found in Ayurveda, alchemy, and astrology. In this segment, you'll learn: Why Cayenne and Lobelia are a dynamic herbal duo How traditional herbalists define stimulants and relaxants (beyond caffeine and chamomile!) The significance of the stimulant-relaxant-tonic triad in herbal energetics The cross-cultural connections to Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and astrology How combining oppositional energetics can create synergy in herbal formulas Tune into the full episode to learn more:  https://open.spotify.com/episode/0D57qDsVCLfCfpIZtshgEb?si=6a3639d913d44847   ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   Shop our herbal products:  https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

This is only achieved through understanding and working with the chemical, energetic, and spiritual properties of the plants. His teachings embody a heartfelt respect, honor and reverence for the vast intelligence of plants in a way that empowers us to look deeper into the nature of our medicines and ourselves.

A variety of useful herbs for mental focus and brain function, if you're experiencing brain fog, or feel like your brain isn't working like it used to, as well as herbs to support you through the intense rage that we can experience during menopause,How to use herbal medicine as a viable alternative to HRT or as a way to support your body alongside HRT, like adaptogenic herbs, and herbs that support gut and liver health and can help to reduce side effects like headaches, weight gain and breakthrough bleeding. ---Order our menopause book - Wise Power: Discover the Liberating Power of Menopause to Awaken Authority, Purpose and Belonging here: https://www.wisepowerbook.com---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Myriah Hinchey, a functional medicine practitioner specializing in chronic illness and immune dysfunction, to explore the complex world of autoimmunity through the lens of Lyme disease and stealth pathogens. We dive into how these microbes evade the immune system, disrupt the body's internal balance, and target areas of weakness — from old injuries to inflamed tissues. Dr. Hinchey explains how this leads to persistent inflammation, neurological symptoms, and gut dysfunction, often without obvious signs of infection. You'll learn why a root-cause approach to chronic infections must go beyond antimicrobials — incorporating immune support, detoxification, terrain rebuilding, and the smart use of herbal medicine.   If you've struggled with unexplained symptoms, autoimmunity, or suspect hidden infections might be at play, this conversation will help you understand the deeper mechanisms — and what true healing actually takes. Key Takeaways: The central focus in treating Lyme disease should be on restoring immune balance and competency rather than solely targeting pathogens with antibiotics. Lyme disease can lead to significant systemic disruptions, manifesting in symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, and even neuropsychiatric disorders. A therapeutic lifestyle approach, including dietary changes, detoxification, and stress management, is essential for effective management of chronic vector-borne diseases. Herbal medicine, especially herbs like Cryptolepis, Chinese Skullcap, and Japanese Knotweed, play a vital role in managing inflammation and immune dysregulation. More About Dr. Myriah Hinchey, ND: Dr. Myriah Hinchey, a Naturopathic physician and Fellow of the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS), is a recognized expert in the field of Lyme disease and other complex chronic inflammatory conditions, with over 17 years of specialized experience. As a physician and the Medical Director at TAO, an integrative center for healing, she has successfully guided thousands of patients towards recovery from their complex chronic inflammatory conditions. Additionally, she is the founder and owner of LymeCore Botanicals, a herbal medicine company focused on providing effective solutions for healing vector-borne diseases. Dr. Hinchey is dedicated to treating patients of all ages, with a specialty in pediatrics, and is also a sought-after speaker, passionately educating healthcare professionals on the pathophysiology of vector-borne diseases and how to successfully integrate functional, herbal, and lifestyle medicine into their practices.

It was such a joy to have my good friend, Thomas Easley, on the show. For some reason, the herb he chose to discuss – blue vervain – surprised me (perhaps because it hit so close to home?), but his insights about it were both thoughtful and expansive. He shared about the type of person who tends to really benefit from vervain, the best time of day to take it, some lesser-known ways of working with it, and so much more!Blue vervain is perhaps best known for its gift of helping wind you down, and so it's often included in blends for relaxation and sleep. In this episode, Thomas shared his version of a sleep tincture blend featuring blue vervain, which he calls GTFTS (I'll let you guess what that acronym stands for!). Click here for your beautifully-illustrated recipe card for GTFTS.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Specific indications for blue vervain - and whether you're the type of person who could benefit from keeping a bottle of it on your desk (and actually taking it!)► Why it's important to experience an herb (in multiple ways and during different circumstances) to determine whether it's the right herb for you► Three little-known uses for blue vervain► and so many other insights about this lovely relaxing herb….For those of you who don't know him, Thomas Easley is a registered herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild, a clinical herbalist, and the founder of the Eclectic School of Herbal Medicine. With a passion for herbal medicine ignited in 1996, Thomas has dedicated his life to helping others through unique approaches that integrate traditional western herbalism, clinical nutrition, and modern medical sciences. Thomas is co-author of The Modern Herbal Dispensatory: A Medicine-Making Guide and Modern Herbal Medicine. He firmly believes in the power of herbal medicine to transform lives and promote vibrant health. His approach emphasizes the importance of food as medicine and incorporates tailored diets, stress reduction techniques, nutrition supplements, and exercise to help clients achieve their health goals. I hope this conversation with Thomas brings you as much insight (and maybe a few laughs) as it brought me. I can't wait to hear what resonates most with you from this conversation—blue vervain might surprise you, too.----Get full show notes and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comFor more behind-the-scenes of this podcast, follow @rosaleedelaforet on Instagram!The secret to using herbs successfully begins with knowing who YOU are.

Have you been studying herbs for a while, but you still feel unsure about how to combine them into an effective formula?  Or maybe you're newer to herbalism and ready to dive into the art and science of formulation? Formulation is one of my favorite parts of herbal medicine, so I'm excited to kick off a new series called The Anatomy of a Formula. I love the synergy that emerges when herbs are combined in intelligent, intentional ways—and the specificity you can achieve when formulating for a particular person. It's both powerful and fun. However, for budding herbalists, formulation can initially feel daunting and a little confusing. Without some kind of framework or guidance, many people end up just tossing a bunch of herbs into a bottle and hoping it works. That's not an ideal approach because you're essentially leaving your therapeutics to chance. Instead, approach formulation with strategy, intention, and precision, tailored to the individual you're working with.  Here's what we'll cover in this post: • A brief history of formulation in North American herbalism • Formulation challenges and how to fix the problem • The foundations of herbal formulas: pairs and triplets • The anatomy of an effective formula     ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   Shop our herbal products:  https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

We dive into the importance of cellular health as the foundation of wellness and explore the five essentials for maintaining it—including nutrients, a clean environment, downtime, blood flow, and microbial protection. Dr. Rawls explains how dormant microbes can contribute to chronic illness, and why herbs like turmeric and reishi can offer powerful support at the cellular level, often without the side effects of pharmaceuticals.

In our fifth installment in this series, we address the facts & fictions about ginkgo, guarana, and maca supplements in commerce! These were #13, 14, and 15 on the top-selling herbs list for 2023 (the most recent data).This series is all about sharing an herbalist's understanding of herbs very popular as commercial supplements and other mass-market products. We want to share perspectives of both traditional and contemporary herbal practice, so people can understand these are “good for” more than just what's on their labels.It's too easy for herbs to be boxed in to smaller and smaller ranges of application when they're commercialized. This is an antidote to that movement!For practicing herbalists & clinicians, it's very important to know well those herbs which are most commonly consumed. Your clients will ask you about them, or be taking them before they even visit you – so you've got to know what they do! You might be able to give advice about a better remedy, or a compensation for some effect of the plant. This can help your clients just as much as a new recommendation, so don't neglect it.If you're new to herbalism, this can also serve as an inoculation against “herban legends” and misinformation – which is rampant on today's internet.13.

Spring has officially sprung.   The birds are chirping, the plants are waking up, and the earth is on the move again. It's a beautiful time of year—and here in the Pacific Northwest, we welcome the lifting of the cold, the retreat of the rain, and the chance to head back outside to enjoy nature's splendor and get our gardens growing.   But spring's return comes at a high cost for many due to seasonal allergies.   If you're one of the millions of people who suffer from seasonal allergies, stepping outside can bring so much discomfort and suffering that it hardly seems worth it. You might choose to stay inside, avoiding the warm, sunny days simply because your allergies make being outside unbearable.   In this episode, we're diving into the dynamics of seasonal allergies. There's a lot to cover, so this will be a two-part series.   You may just be looking for remedies—and we'll get there—but first, we need some context. Understanding the "why" behind seasonal allergies provides a broader perspective on what's happening and how to identify the root cause.   In Part One, we'll explore the background and context of seasonal allergies, including: The contributing factors behind allergies and intolerance An esoteric perspective to complement physiological understanding The difference between allergies and intolerances What immunological load is—and how to remain asymptomatic   With this foundation in place, Part Two will cover the therapeutic strategy and approach.

I've been wanting to have 7Song on the podcast for a really long time now, so it was exciting to finally get to sit and chat with him. 7Song is well known for his work in first aid and disaster relief, and our conversation touched on many different aspects of this work. People often want to help when there's been a natural disaster like a hurricane, wildfire, or flooding, and 7Song shared some of his best tips on how herbalists can help, along with some of his favorite herbs to have on hand for first aid situations.One specific health situation 7Song discussed was smoke inhalation due to wildfires – sadly, something that has become all too common these days. He gave his number one tip for what to do if you're exposed to wildfire smoke (hint: it has nothing to do with herbs!) and shared his guide on Smoke Inhalation and Herbal Medicine with us. You can download your copy of this fantastic handout here: https://bit.ly/4m3DqoeBy the end of this episode, you'll know:► How 7Song got involved with herbal first aid and disaster relief► The five most common health issues 7Song deals with when giving first aid at large gatherings► What herbalists can do to help with disaster relief – and more importantly, what NOT to do!► How herbs can help your body recover from smoke inhalation► and so much more…For those of you who don't know him, 7Song has long been entranced by the non-human natural world, especially herpetology and botany. He also wants to be helpful in the human community, and herbal medicine feels like a good marriage of these two interests.He is the director and main teacher of the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine, which he started in 1992. He is the Director of Holistic Medicine and a practicing clinic herbalist at the Ithaca Free Clinic, an integrated free clinic that includes both conventional and less-conventional modalities.
