Study and use of supposed medicinal properties of plants
POPULARITY
We discuss green tea, fenugreek, and ivy leaf in this, the fourth part of an episodic sequence about the best-selling herbs in the US.Our primary purpose for creating this series of episodes is to share an understanding of these herbs from the perspectives of traditional and contemporary herbal practice. Frequently, the high-volume sales of these herbs comes along with oversimplified or diminished ideas about what they can do. If we ask “what does this herb help with?” and answer it based only on what we see on store shelves and product websites, we'll miss out on a lot of possibilities!Every herbalist practicing in the US today should be familiar with these herbs, because they are the ones your clients are most likely to be taking even before they show up for an appointment with you. Their use may have implications for your own herbal recommendations, or serve as a jumping-off point for a more involved protocol. You may also be able to advise your clients about alternatives which may serve them better, or even some supplements that aren't really worth the price.So overall, this series is both an example of materia medica study and also a guide to ‘marketing literacy' for supplements.10.

Herbalists don't just treat symptoms—they listen, personalize, and heal at the root.In this episode, we explore what makes herbal medicine uniquely powerful compared to conventional healthcare.

In celebration of National Garden Month, this episode of Big Blend Radio features gardening expert Bevin Cohen who discusses his new book, "HERBS IN EVERY SEASON: 48 Edible and Medicinal Herbs for the Kitchen, Garden, and Apothecary," that's out now through Timber Press. "Herbs in Every Season" offers gardeners, herbalists, cooks, and homesteaders a new way of looking at herbs throughout the year, and from every angle. The photographed guide features information on gardening, cooking, and integrating herbs as part of a holistic wellness routine. Herbalists will learn how an herb's growth habits inform its medicinal capabilities, and gardeners will gain insight into herbs as integral culinary plants for the kitchen garden, pollinator plants for perennial borders, and key ingredients for a home apothecary. Bevin Cohen is an author, herbalist, gardener, seed saver, and educator. He is the owner of Small House Farm, the founder of Michigan Seed Library Network, and offers workshops and lectures.

In part three of our series on the top-selling herbs in the United States, we cover wheatgrass, beet root, and ginger supplements.As we share our opinions about these popular herbal supplements, our primary goal is to help you understand these herbs in their breadth and depth. They're too often pigeon-holed into limited ranges of application – the usual answers to “what is it good for?” are too small! There's plenty more to say about them than their most common selling points.If you're an herbalist, it's good for you to be well-informed about herbal supplements which people take most often. You can learn what is popular, and why it is. You can understand how to answer questions about those plants, how to differentiate hype from health, how to help someone find a better alternative, and which supplements just aren't worth the cost. This series is intended to help you do that!If you're new to herbalism, we're happy that we get the first chance to form your thoughts around these herbs. At the same time, this will act as a guide to developing ‘marketing literacy' as applied to herbal supplements – and some good old-fashioned materia medica study, too.7.

This episode continues our series covering the top-selling herbs in the United States. As we give you our thoughts about these popular herbal supplements, we're hoping to help you break out of the box. These herbs are frequently pigeon-holed into very narrow ranges of application – the answers to the question “what is it good for?” are usually very limited! There's more to say about them than their most effective selling points or marketing campaigns.If you're a practicing herbalist, you should be well-informed about the herbal supplements people take most frequently. You should know what's popular, and why. You should know how to answer people's questions about these herbs, how to sort hype from health, how to identify better alternatives, and which ones simply aren't worth the money. This series is intended to help you do that!If you're new to herbalism – we're glad that we get to help you form your initial opinion of these herbs.

Check it out and take a look at the “mainstream” and “natural channel” best-seller lists – you might be surprised at what's on there!If you're an herbalist, you should be well-educated about the herbs people take most frequently.

We're hoping this series will help you do that!If you're new to herbalism – yay, we get first crack at forming your opinion of these herbs!

I've known Thomas Elpel for several years, and was really excited to have the chance to talk with him again. Tom sat down with me to discuss how a basic understanding of botany can be helpful for herbalists, but our conversation went way beyond that. While not strictly an herbalist, Tom is definitely a plant person through and through, and his curiosity about the natural world is infectious!Tom has written many books about a variety of subjects. His book Botany in a Day, which can help you learn to recognize and identify plants through their botanical families, was transformative for me when I was first learning to identify plants! Tom has shared a sample page from Botany in a Day about the oleaster plant family with us; you can download your copy here: https://bit.ly/40PkFNr By the end of this episode, you'll know:► How learning to recognize plants by the patterns of their botanical families can be useful to herbalists and other people who work with plants► Why it's so important to actually go out and experience the natural world – the way the deer do!► Why “invasive plants” is a complicated term, and how working to eradicate plants with this label can sometimes do more harm than good► Four ways that plants in the oleaster family can benefit the environment around them► and so much more…For those of you who don't know him, Thomas J. Elpel is the director of Green University in southwest Montana, and is the author of nine books ranging in topics from wilderness survival to consciousness. He is best known for his book Botany in a Day: The Patterns Method of Plant Identification. With his background in wilderness survival skills, Tom applied a self-sufficiency ethic to all aspects of his life, from living in a tent and building his own stone and log home to later launching his own publishing company. Tom has produced two card games that teach plant family patterns and one that teaches wildlife ecology. He is presently writing a book about the ecology of the American West.I can't wait to share our conversation with you today!----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.

In this video, I'm going to dive into the concept of control—what it really means, what it doesn't, and the surprising history behind the word itself. Then, I'll break down three practical ways you can use herbal medicines to regain control in your life. Many people want to incorporate herbs, but they don't always move from idea to action. Real control is about creating cohesion and alignment between what we value and what we do. Here are the three ways to get started: Have Your Herbs on Hand—and Use Them: I'll share some practical tips for getting organized so you can make herbs part of your daily routine. Tap Into Your Creativity: Making art of any kind can be a powerful confidence booster. I'll show you some creative ways to incorporate herbs into art projects that help you connect with your purpose. Beautify Your Surroundings and Give Back: Beauty is a powerful way to bring your ideal life into reality, and contributing to others makes this journey even more meaningful. These three practices will help you bring what you want into alignment with what you see in your life every day. MY ONLINE COURSES

She is deeply influenced by her studies with accomplished herbalists, including Rosemary Gladstar, Pam Montgomery, Tom Brown, Jr. and especially Stephen Buhner's pioneering work on the heart as an organ of perception.In 2007, Tammi set out to “combine all the things I love into one curriculum and teach whatever I wanted in ways that made sense--on my own terms.” So, she and her partner Kris Miller launched the Heartstone Center for Earth Essentials.At Heartstone, Tammi and Kris run their Herbal Apprenticeship. Tammi also offers online courses that integrate physiology and plant medicine with Tammi's love of teaching, such as her signature course Anatomy & Physiology for Herbalists. The other branch of her teaching is Cannabis. In 2019 Tammi offered her first online course in Medicine Making with Cannabis. 2020 brought about her six month long Online Cannabis Grow course.

When you're an herbalist, it's normal to get questions from people about herbs. Usually they're thinking that it's a simple question, and expecting a simple response: “What's good for IBS?” “Chamomile.” But the truth is a lot more complex than that! When you learn about herbalism, you come to understand that there are no herbs “for” any disease state. Instead, there are herbs who can exert influences on the body, and those may match well (or poorly) with the specific state of an individual person. So you become less enthusiastic about simply giving someone the name of an herb when they ask “what'll work for…?”This dynamic is even more pronounced on social media. Whether in an herbalism discussion group or in direct messages from your followers, an herbalist on social media will see lots of these types of questions – and lots of those one-word responses, too! But people don't take the names of herbs – they take herbs! Which means they prepare tea (using this much plant matter for that much water), or they take tincture (made at this or that herb:menstruum ratio), or they get a supplement (made by this or that brand)… And so even if you give someone the name of a plant, have you really helped them figure out how to take it? How much to take? How often, for how long? All those details can make or break the success of an intervention.When you get that kind of question, you want to give a helpful answer – and that can mean an answer that's quite different from what the asker expects. Instead of simply listing names of herbs, try giving an insight into your own herbal thought process! For example, if they're asking about “herbs for headaches”, you can briefly describe various patterns that can cause headache – heat, dryness, tension, stagnation, etc – and help them identify what kind of headache they have.From there, you can suggest herbs to experiment with – and that's an important phrase, “to experiment with”! Helping people understand that working with herbs involves multiple rounds of self-experimentation is a great service you can provide.It takes a little more time to construct a response like this, but it's significantly more helpful to the asker. They might expect you to simply know the right herb for them, and if you just say “it depends and it's complicated”, that can feel like you're gatekeeping. But if you share your own decision-making process, you both teach them how to think like an herbalist (even just a little bit), and you help them understand you're not holding out on them!Looking to improve your skills as an herbalist and clinician?
