Podcasts about herbal studies

Have you ever felt overwhelmed trying to learn herbal medicine and astrology?    This is one of the biggest challenges I hear from people studying herbalism on its own… throw astrology on top of it, and it just seems like too much. They say, “I was already overwhelmed trying to learn how to become a great herbalist. And now, to practice this way, I have to learn the massive system of astrology too. I'm busy with my day job, family, home, and garden, and it's too much.”   But it doesn't have to be that way! There is a strategic approach that allows you to study herbal medicine and astrology at the same time. The philosophical bases of both herbal medicine and astrology are, at their core, one and the same- for they are built off the same fundamental blueprint of nature.    When you study these fundamental principles and patterns of astrology and herbalism simultaneously, it enhances your learning of both systems, making it quicker to learn them and thus incorporate them into your work with people.    This is what I call the Zodiacal Study Strategy.   It is a model for study that you can incorporate into the time you have available—or rather the time you create—to optimize your learning process of both herbalism and astrology. It is built on the similarities between the philosophical foundations of holistic herbalism and astrology, or what I think of as the architecture of the zodiac. As with anything worth learning, you must make time to study, integrate, and practice. Unfortunately, it won't magically appear. What differentiates a good herbalist or astrologer from a great one is discipline and consistency in studying and gaining experience. And it's about using your time strategically. What follows is one year's worth of study. By the end of that year, you will have a solid foundation in both astrological medicine and clinical herbal medicine.   ———————————— 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/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine. With perspectives gleaned from traditional Western herbalism, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Alchemy, Medical Astrology, and traditional cultures from around the world, The Plant Path provides unique insights, skills and strategies for the practice of true holistic herbalism. From clinical to spiritual perspectives, we don't just focus on what herbs are "good for," but rather who they are as intelligent beings, and how we can work with them to heal us physically and consciously evolve.   ———————————— ABOUT SAJAH ———————————— Sajah Popham is the author of Evolutionary Herbalism and the founder of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, where he trains herbalists in a holistic system of plant medicine that encompasses clinical Western herbalism, medical astrology, Ayurveda, and spagyric alchemy. 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. 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. He lives on a homestead in the foothills of Mt. Baker Washington with his wife Whitney where he teaches, consults clients, and prepares spagyric herbal medicines.    ———————————— WANT TO FEATURE US ON YOUR PODCAST? ———————————— If you'd like to interview Sajah or Whitney to be on your podcast, click here to fill out an interview request form.

Don't miss downloading your free recipe card for Frieda's Candied Angelica Root for a delicious way to enjoy angelica's many gifts:► Many herbal systems call for moving stagnation before doing anything else - see what that means exactly and how angelica is especially suited to helping.► Are you amped up all night and then exhausted in the morning? Find out what may be causing that and how angelica could help.► The unique ways that angelica supports digestion.► and more…By the end of this episode, you'll know:► When to turn to dong quai (Angelica sinensis) and when to turn to angelica (Angelica archangelica)► Who should avoid angelica – and when?► Who is angelica particularly supportive for?► How to develop your plant ID eye (always important, but especially when a plant has a toxic look-alike, as angelica does)For those of you who don't already know her, Frieda Kipar Bay is an herbalist, movement artist, writer, and educator. She began her formal study of the plants at the California School of Herbal Studies. She went on to apprentice with The Herbal Apothecary for two years, study with Aviva Romm and Matthew Wood, and seed Taproot Medicine, a small line of potent herbal syrups. As she began working clinically, she found the need for more diagnostic skill, and over the next 4 years, embarked on a journey into reading the tongue, pulse, and face primarily under the direction of acupuncturists Brian LaForgia and Will Morris. This work has brought her to her current study of Daoist Medicine Theory, Qigong, and Daoist dream diagnosis. She has volunteered as part of the MASHH Collective, the Botanical Bus, and the People's Medicine Project, and taught advanced coursework through Gathering Thyme Herb School, Scarlet Sage, and her own apprenticeships.

You have a double treat in store with this episode.First, have you ever wondered what it takes to grow herbs commercially on a large scale? I kept hearing about Oshala Farm from my students, so last year, I placed an order to check them out. I was so impressed with the herbs I received and knew immediately that I wanted to interview Elise Higley, the farm's cofounder! From finding the right location to the hard work of growing, harvesting, processing the harvest, fulfilling orders, stewarding the land… there are so many details to juggle! I came away from this episode with even more respect for herb farmers than I already had. I hope you'll enjoy this peek into running a successful herb farm, too!Second, stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is one of those herbs that people grow to love and crave, even if they're not initially drawn to the taste. I loved discussing the gifts of this nutrient-dense herb with Elise! Who couldn't benefit from an herbal ally that:► Is deeply nourishing, strengthening, and energizing – an herbal tonic you can enjoy every day (and that your body will thank you for)► Can provide support to folks who suffer from seasonal allergies► Supports kidney health► and more…To quote Elise, “Nettle is nutritive, high in iron, high in minerals… I feel like it's a staple as far as nourishing and fortifying the body.” I completely agree.This episode is full of tips and ideas you can borrow like:► Best practices for growing medicinal herbs (whether you use this to inspire your own garden or as a springboard for asking questions when you're sourcing herbs to purchase)► Possible herbs to blend with nettle when making infusions (and how they complement nettle)► Various ways to work with both fresh and dried nettle leaf► How to grow stinging nettle in your own gardenFor those of you who don't already know her, Elise Higley is a folk herbalist, wife, mother, grandmother and farmer.With her background in Western Herbalism at California School of Herbal Studies and her husband Jeff's background in organic farming, they blended their dreams and created a full-fledged herb farm in 2013.

Marija is a research scientist-turned-clinical herbalist, practicing in Colorado since 2010. In this episode, Marija talks to us about the fascinating world of endophytes, their surprising influence on the herbal medicine we make, and explains the difference between good and bad research articles. Before becoming an herbalist, she spent a dozen years as a research scientist, focusing on cancer and infectious disease. Despite the high-tech past, Marija's focus as an herbalist is a simple and holistic approach to health that integrates botanical tradition with a critical evaluation of what botanical research science has to say. Marija has been studying herbs, mushrooms, and essential oils intensely since 2008. As a clinical herbalist, Marija helps people to take charge of their health and reconnect with the green world of which we're all a part. As a writer and teacher, the goal is the same, simply on a larger scale. A goal, in particular, is to use her background in biomedical science as a bridge to introduce botanical medicine to those not already on the bandwagon. Marija studied botanical medicine with Pam Fisher at the Berkeley Herbal Center (formally the Ohlone Center of Herbal Studies), with Kathi Keville at the Green Medicine Herb School, and shorter stints with others herbalists. She earned her doctorate in microbiology from the University of Washington School of Medicine while studying cancer-promoting mechanisms of human papillomavirus, the primary cause of cervical cancer. Her postdoctoral research on dengue virus replication was through the School of Public Health at the University of California-Berkeley. She was an infectious diseases trainee at the UW Center for AIDS & STD and an infectious diseases fellow through UC San Francisco Division of Infectious Diseases. Marija grew up running wild in the woods. (Well, at least 'til sunset.)

Patricia has been a practicing clinical herbalist for over 28 years, and in this episode, she shares with us two of her favorite herbal allies- motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) and mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris). In our conversation, we discuss the traditional ways in which these plants have been used to support women's bodies and cycles, and different ways of working with them. Patricia shares with us her own personal accounts of how and why these plants have been such an important part of her own healing journey, in addition to numerous clients she has worked with over the years. While each of these plants has a rich history of medicinal uses, Patricia also gives some insight to a more magical and energetic side of these wild weeds, and shares some tips for forming your own connection with them.

Episode #50 of the Ground Shots Podcast is a conversation with the clinical herbalist Anna-Marija Helt Ph.D., who lives in Durango, Colorado. Marija has been studying herbs, mushrooms and essential oils intensely since 2008, training at the Ohlone Center of Herbal Studies with Pam Fisher, at Green Medicine Herb School with Kathi Keville and with a number of other herbalists. Prior to becoming an herbalist, she spent nearly 15 years as a research scientist, with a focus on cancer and infectious disease.  She received her doctoral degree in microbiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine while studying cancer-promoting mechanisms of human papillomavirus, the primary cause of cervical cancer. Her postdoctoral research on dengue virus was conducted in the School of Public Health at the University of California at Berkeley. She was an infectious diseases trainee at the UW Center for AIDS & STD and an infectious diseases fellow through UC San Francisco Division of Infectious Diseases.  Her focus as an herbal practitioner is a low-tech, simple and holistic approach to health that incorporates both traditional herbal knowledge and the latest scientific research.   In this episode with Marija, we talk about: bridging tradition and science in herbalism, and some history of how this divide happened wild-tending Osha- Ligusticum porteri (Apiaceae) in the Rockies and substitutes to use instead of Osha medicinally Osha's regional abundance but big scale scarcity, and how keeping plant populations in a bigger picture is a perspective to consider Osha's deadly lookalikes - Poison and Water Hemlock Conium maculatum and Cicuta spp. (both Apiaceae) several poisonous plants found in the southern Rockies, the greater Rockies and beyond: Death Camas - Toxicoscordion venenosum (Melanthiaceae) or alapíšaš in the Pacific Northwest, Baneberry - Actaea rubra (Ranunculaceae) Corn Lily - Veratrum californicum (Melanthiaceae) Monkshood - Aconitum spp. (Ranunculaceae) Larkspur - Delphinium spp. (Ranunculaceae) or δελφίνιον in Greek Pulsatilla + Anenome - Pulsatilla spp. and Anenome spp. (both Ranunculaceae) and more.
