Podcasts about herbalism

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?

What separates an okay herbalist from a truly great one? It isn't memorizing what each plant is "good for." It's learning to see the whole person and match the right plant to the right pattern. In this episode, Sajah, founder of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, breaks down the difference between vitalist and allopathic herbalism, why a fever is intelligence and not a malfunction, and why two herbs that are both "good for the lungs" can have completely opposite effects depending on the energetics. This is an encore conversation, originally aired in January 2021, and everything Sajah Popham teaches about vitalism is just as true today. You'll hear a few references to that moment in the world, but the medicine underneath is timeless. For one week only, when you enroll in Sajah's Vitalist Herbal Practitioner Program through my link, you'll also receive my $887 bonus bundle free: my entire Feed Your Wild Gut program plus two months inside Bloom Premium.

What happens when we stop trying to control our gardens and start listening to them instead?In this delightfully rambling conversation with herbalist, gardener, author, tea maker, and all-round cottage herbalist Caroline Parker, we explore the magic that unfolds when gardening becomes less about perfection and productivity and more about relationship, observation, and wonder.Together we chat about medicinal gardens, fairy gardens, Brambly Hedge dreams, wandering herbs, stubborn chamomile, weedy goldenrod, climbing roses, community gardens, and the lessons plants teach us when they refuse to follow the plans we've made for them. We dive into creating gardens as experiences rather than designs, learning from place instead of imposing upon it, and why sometimes the most medicinal thing in a garden isn't what you harvest—it's simply being there. We also discuss gardening for renters, container gardens, public green spaces, compost, sheet mulching, accessibility, and how anyone can begin building a relationship with plants, even if all they have is a single pot on a windowsill. Along the way we reflect on value, productivity, seasonal living, and the radical idea that neither people nor gardens need to constantly produce something to be worthy. This is a conversation about cultivating awe, creating beauty, embracing experimentation, and allowing plants to become our teachers. So pour yourself a cup of tea, settle into your favourite garden nook, and join us for a gentle exploration of medicinal gardening, seasonal living, and the enchantment that begins when you plant a single seed and see where it leads.THE HERBAL APPRENTICE ONLINE Doors Open Now (21st - 26th June 2026) **BUY ME A CUPPA**If you liked the episode and want more, a cuppa fuels mywork and time, which is given for free.

Wildcrafting has gotten trendy, and that's not always a good thing. Misidentified plants, sketchy sourcing claims, and a whole lot of misinformation are floating around social media right now, and it's worth slowing down to talk about why that matters.Howie Brounstein, founder of Columbine School of Botanical Studies and an herbalist who has been teaching for over 40 years, talks about why botany matters, what real wildcrafting ethics actually look like, and why he's scared by a lot of what he sees online.What's in this episode:The real risks of misidentification and why positive plant ID is non-negotiableWhy botany matters, and when it doesn't need to be your focus as an herbalistHow to evaluate herb books and spot information that isn't coming from real experienceWhy Howie teaches a long-term apprenticeship instead of one-day wildcrafting classesWhy Howie believes you should taste every herb you give to someone elseWhat it was like building an herbal career in the late 1970s when nobody believed it was possibleHow AI and social media are accelerating herbal misinformationFor full show notes, resources, and links visit: theherbalistspath.com/blog/herbal-wildcrafting-ethics-howie-BrounsteinLearn more about Howie's apprenticeship and classes at botanicalstudies.netLike the show?

What if the best medicine for your body has nothing to do with treating your disease and everything to do with treating you? That's the question at the heart of this conversation, and I am so honored to bring you one of the most respected voices in herbal medicine today, David Winston. In this episode of the Wild Herbs Podcast, I talk with herbalist and ethnobotanist David Winston about how plant energetics and human energetics help match herbs to a person's constitution so we treat people rather than diseases. David reflects on herbal medicine's resurgence since the late 1960s, shares how his early connection with plants began in childhood, and explains why herbalism and orthodox medicine are complementary. We discuss the difference between treating a disease and treating a person, nootropic herbs, compliance and dosing forms, the concept of synergy in herbal formulas, nature's role in mental health, foundations of health, and mimosa (Albizia) bark as a powerful mood elevator. David also describes his two-year clinical training program and formula-building approach.

Have you ever tried to identify a plant, opened a field guide, and immediately felt overwhelmed? You're not alone.In this episode, I'm joined by Rachel Parks of Botany in an Hour to talk about a simple approach to botany that can completely change the way you look at plants. Instead of trying to memorize thousands of individual species, Rachel explains how learning a handful of plant families can help you become a better gardener, herbalist, forager, and homesteader.We discuss why understanding plant families is often the missing link that makes plant identification easier, how this knowledge can improve your gardening decisions, and why even young children can quickly learn to recognize common plant groups once they know what clues to look for.Whether you're interested in medicinal herbs, foraging wild plants, improving your garden, or simply understanding the plants growing around you, this conversation will give you a practical framework for learning botany without feeling overwhelmed.In This Episode We Cover:• Why plant families are easier to learn than individual species• How botany can improve your gardening and companion planting• The connection between plant families and herbal medicine• Simple clues for identifying plants in the mint family• Why plant family knowledge can make foraging easier• How understanding plant relationships can help you learn faster• Using botanical knowledge to recognize patterns in food sensitivities• Why plant diversity matters in the gardenResources Mentioned:

Herbalism has seen a boom of interest in recent years as people seek to find closer relationships with nature and create ways to supplement their wellbeing. The practice has a long history all over the world, with many cultures offering their own uses for the plants and trees that grew in their region. Having such a plethora of plant material available called for the introduction of the herbal; a book collecting plants and their uses into one place. Yet books require one simple thing - the ability to read. India, Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China all kept records about the use of plants. In Europe, many early herbals were written in Latin, putting them beyond the reach of ordinary people. Until William Turner came along and changed the game by writing one in English.

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.

Master Gardener, Soozi Pline, speaks with local herbal practitioner, Nancy Williams. Nancy grew up on her family's farm in Marion County and began learning about herbs and natural remedies as a child. She studied with Phyllis D. Light -  4th generation herbalist and health educator in North Alabama. Harvesting plants and herbs she grows on her property, Nancy makes teas, tinctures, salves, and syrup remedies. In the podcast she mentions specific plants, their benefits, and cites reading sources for further study. With her roots in traditional Appalachian healing, Nancy shares her wealth of knowledge about herbs and wellness.  Links:https://www.aces.edu/https://mastergardeners-limestonecountyalabama.org/https://www.alcpl.org/Books referenced in the podcast:Southern Folk Medicine - book by Phyllis D.

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.

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

Discovering Plants with Healing Powers with guest Ava Long, Clinical Herbalist and Owner, Floral Botanical Medicine Greek physician Hippocrates is attributed with saying “Nature is the best physician.” Herbalism is the study and practice of using plants for medicinal, therapeutic, and health-promoting purposes.Ancient Greek herbalism helped form the foundation of modern herbal medicine and the emphasis on the balance between nature, health and philosophy. Every plant seems to have its own special healing superpowers, and a relatable story to tell. Clinical herbalist Ava Long shares her story and her approach to herbal science. Ava Long is the owner of Floral Botanical Medicine, a health and wellness practice. Her diagnostic approach incorporates live blood microscopy to uncover root causes of chronic health concerns. She develops individualized herbal protocols for detoxification and for restoring balance and achieving optimal health. Ava has trained at various institutions, including the Boston School of Herbal Studies, where she also serves as an adjunct professor. She is also the founder of Maine Sea Greens, a seaweed food product combining her passion for herbalism and seaweed. Through her work, she helps others benefit from ancient holistic practices alongside modern technology. Note: Roughly 30 percent of the global population is at risk for iodine deficiency. Symptoms of iodine deficiency include unexplained weight gain, chronic fatigue, cold sensitivity, dry skin, thinning hair, and enlarged thyroid gland. Seaweed, the best natural source of iodine, is an excellent herbal and dietary addition for supporting thyroid health, regulating blood sugar, and providing antioxidant protection. Seaweed should, however, be consumed in moderation to avoid excess iodine.

Today on The Herbalist Hour, I'm joined by Yasmeen Faraj, LCSW, CIMHP, therapist, herbalist, and founder of Kinda Crunchy Therapy and sMOOches Organics.

What is your relationship to Cannabis like? This powerful plant has been systematically slandered and maligned for generations, and is now making a comeback as a cure-all in the medical cannabis industry. But there are deeper invitations that this plant can draw us into, when we meet Cannabis with intention, reverence and caution. These invitations centre around embodiment, tantric sexuality, mystic sight, and insight into our fears and blocks.This conversation is between Stephanie Hazel and Yelena Bide: two devotees of this powerful plant. Yelena Bide is a Blue-Mountains (Australia) based plant-medicine guide, psychedelic integration coach and herbalist working 1:1 with clients to radically support wellbeing through healing plants and their own somatic awareness.Find her website here: https://www.thepsychedelicherbalist.com.au/You can enrol in Yelena's Meeting Cannabis Anew course here:https://events.humanitix.com/meeting-cannabis-anew-june-julyWant to study with me?Here is the link to Wild Edge of Herbalism:https://stephaniehazel.com.au/wild-edge-of-herbalism/ **BUY ME A CUPPA**If you liked the episode and want more, a cuppa fuels my work and time, which is given for free.

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?

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. 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?

What if the natural world holds ancient wisdom capable of supporting healing, balance, and personal transformation? In this fascinating and earthy episode, Karen Harrison explores The Herbal Alchemist's Handbook, diving into the traditions of herbalism, plant knowledge, and the symbolic art of alchemy. Drawing from herbal practices and historical traditions, Karen discusses how herbs have been used for centuries in wellness routines, spiritual rituals, and everyday living. She explores the connection between nature and well-being, and how working with plants can encourage mindfulness, self-care, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world. This episode invites listeners to explore the intersection of nature, history, and personal growth. What is herbal alchemy, and how does it differ from modern approaches to wellness? Why have herbs and plant traditions remained important across cultures for generations? And how can reconnecting with nature influence our physical and emotional well-being? Join us for a rich and insightful conversation that blends ancient wisdom with modern curiosity—where herbs become more than plants, and where nature itself becomes a source of inspiration and transformation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

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.

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

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. Learn a memorable, practical model for understanding how the body's detox functions work, along with the roles herbs can play in supporting them.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.

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.

This is part two of my conversation with herbalist and writer Rachelle Robinett, recorded live in LA in a very intimate room full of friends while talking about her book Naturally. In this part, we get into our favorite themes from her book: pleasure, pain,  transformation, grief, and the ways creative expression helps us process. We also talk about sleep hygiene, the connection between slowing down and self-awareness, why knowing the state you're trying to shift matters before reaching for anything, and how herbalism can help when you know what you're actually seeking. Toward the end, we open it up to questions about adaptogens, nervines, kava, tinctures, fresh versus dried herbs, and what daily life looks like now that Rachelle lives in Costa Rica, where she says she's practicing herbalism less like a system and more like a way of living.   Show Notes / Resources / Mentions: Learn more about Rachelle Robinett on her website: https://www.rachellerobinett.com/ Follow Rachelle Robinett on IG @rachellerobinett Grab her book Naturally on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3MOTEVS Find Katie: Katie's Substack | IG: @letitouttt + @katiedalebout | Zine shop is here!
