Do you ever wonder if herbal remedies could help you feel calmer, sleep better, or even help you become mentally stronger? What if there was a natural way to manage stress, improve focus, and improve your mental health? Herbs have been used for centuries to support well-being, and modern science is now catching up to their incredible potential. In this episode, we're breaking it all down to help you understand how herbalism can transform your mental and physical health. I'm talking to Rachelle Robinette, a clinical herbalist, wellness expert, and author of the book Naturally. Rachelle has dedicated her career to blending the wisdom of ancient herbalism with the science of today. Together, we explore how specific herbs can act as powerful allies in boosting mental clarity, reducing stress, and even enhancing resilience. Some of the things we talk about today are: How to start incorporating herbs into your daily routine with simple, accessible steps. The difference between nervines, adaptogens, and nootropics—and how they can help with anxiety, stress, focus, and more. Why herbalism is about more than just medicine—it's a holistic approach to health and resilience. How to evaluate herbal products and avoid common misconceptions. The surprising ways herbalism can support emotional healing, grief, and mental strength. The exact herbs you should take to help with various issues like sleep, stress, and anxiety.

It's also one of the most resilient organs you have. With the right care, you can restore its function and unlock better energy, clearer thinking, and hormonal harmony.

I've been looking forward to this interview with Lorna Trigg for a while now! Lorna's herbal path was strongly influenced by the practices of the indigenous people who lived near her childhood family farm in South Africa, and she has such a creative and unique perspective that I just had to learn more from her.Lorna shared about a plant that she has known since childhood, the beautiful passionflower (both the Passiflora edulis she grew up with in South Africa, and the Passiflora incarnata that called to her as an adult here in the United States). She shared her insights on what passionflower is perhaps best well-known for—its benefits for sleeplessness, which I took advantage of the very night after the interview!—as well as many other gifts of this gorgeous plant.Not only does passionflower make great medicine, it has delicious fruit, too! I can't wait to try them in Lorna's recipe for Soothing Passion Flower Custard Cups. You can download your beautifully-illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► How the growth patterns of passionflower echo its medicinal benefits► What makes passionflower such a wonderful herbal ally during menstruation► How to work with passionflower to calm a busy mind and get better sleep► The fascinating relationship between ants and passionflower► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Lorna's formative years were steeped in her grandmother Verster's and her mother Willie's teachings and guidance as a way of life, looking at the natural world of plant allies as the norm for food and healing. Lorna grew up in the tropical rainforest terrain of South Africa's southern tip, and spent summers inland on the savannas of the family farm. She watched and learned from the children of the tribal people how and what plants to use for food or medicine while out in the fields with the sheep and cattle. The tribal Sangomas, which are the shamans and medicine men and women, held a fascination for her. She peeked into their huts and saw bundles of dried herbs, seeds, furs and horns used for divination and healing. And so it began, imprinted from an early age, her curiosity sparked.I'm thrilled 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!Working successfully with herbs requires three essential skills.

Sasha London-Welker is a farmer and the owner of Green Goddess Farm, North of Kyogle in northern NSW. She's been growing Certified Organic fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs for the last 15 years and is passionate about growing food for her community while honoring the soil, insects, birds and the wild plants who share the land she farms. I first met Sasha at Lismore Organic Farmers market, where her stall was always overflowing with the most vibrant produce. Recently, Sasha has begun to deep dive into all aspects of medicinal herbs starting from the growing process all the way to making high quality herbal medicine. We begin this episode with a special memory from Sasha's childhood that really sparked her love of herbs. She paints a beautiful picture of collecting Nettle in the spring with her family in the mountains of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Sasha remembers delicious pots of Nettle and cups of Nettle tea. And surprisingly few stings! Apparently Aussie Nettle is much fiercer in the sting department!While in the beginning Sasha was farming organic veggies, herbs crept in as cut flowers and then more intentionally as she used them to support her own health. Calendula was an early ally for her beautiful skin healing properties. Sasha shares a special experience with Nettle on her land, where she sat in communication with the herb and was then inspired to pivot and really lean into medicinal herb growing and herbal medicine making.  During our chat she shares her experiences of growing and making medicine from so many special herbs, including Milky Oats, Echinacea, Chamomile and Californian poppy. We chat about the impact of working in farming on health and Sasha shares the difficulty of achieving balance. She works outside in the sunshine on an organic farm with beautiful produce to fuel herself but also has to be careful about boundaries and listening to her body when she needs rest- admitting it's easy to overwork when you live at your work and feel so passionate about it. She shares working more deeply with particular herbs has been a big support. This is such a juicy episode, Sasha's passion for organic growing and her love of herbal medicine is infectious and inspiring! **CONNECT**You can connect with Sasha and purchase her handcrafted herbal medicines via her Estsy site here or stay in touch via instagram here.You can connect with JESS via instagram and facebook here and here,  join her newsletter community here, buy her handmade herbal products here or book an appointment here.**BUY ME A CUPPA**If you liked the episode and want more, a cuppa fuels my work and time, which is given for free.

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.

I was so excited to talk about St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) with this week's podcast guest, Kyle Denton. St. John's wort is one of my all-time favorite herbs, and Kyle told me he'd be sharing a few things about it that you don't commonly hear. He certainly didn't disappoint! Kyle discussed mythological and poetic aspects of the plant, how he understands it via the lens of the doctrine of signatures, and the science behind potential contraindications of St. John's wort (hint: how you take the plant matters!). His enthusiasm and love for this plant was infectious – believe it or not, he even got me to sing!Kyle also shared his version of a favorite way of working with this sunny herb: as an infused oil for topical use. (And if you're in the Northern hemisphere, right now during the longest days of summer is a great time for making this medicine!) You can download your copy of Kyle's recipe for Apollo's Radiance Anointing Oil here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► How Kyle uses the doctrine of signatures to interpret many of the healing properties of St. John's wort► How working with St. John's wort can help heal certain types of pain and bring presence, motivation, and joy back into your life► A surprising way that St. John's wort can make life easier for parents of young children► How to work safely with St. John's wort and avoid potential contraindications► and so much more…For those of you who don't know him, Kyle Denton is a Wisconsin-based community herbalist, medicine maker, and coherency theurgist, devoted to nature's healing virtues. As founder of Tippecanoe Herbs, he crafts remedies, consults with clients, collaborates with practitioners, and teaches through Root Radical Herbal Academy, blending vitalism, Ayurveda, and traditional Western herbalism. Innovating with sound diagnostics, he pioneers "sonic bloom" herbal tone-ics, harmonizing wellness with vibrational precision. Beyond the clinic, he wanders wild spaces, gathering inspiration. Yet, his heart's highest calling is as a father and husband, nurturing his family with the same plant-powered passion that fuels his work. A life rooted in nature, knowledge, and nurturing—Kyle cultivates care for every leaf and lesson.I'm delighted 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!Working successfully with herbs requires three essential skills.

Click here to send me a quick message :) We spend so many of our cycling years trying NOT to get pregnant - whether that's on hormonal contraception, non-hormonal IUD's, using barrier methods or with Fertility Awareness Method.So, when we finally decide that we want to try to conceive, we just assume it will be easy -- particularly if we're younger, healthy and have no obvious conditions that would get in the way of pregnancy.But more and more we're seeing fertility challenges. And unfortunately, it's something that many people feel embarrassment or shame around so it's not widely talked about (except in TTC communities).I've talked to a friend and a client recently who are both currently TTC. One is 27, overall healthy and has an uncomplicated picture (but doesn't have much fertile cervical fluid and her cycles are longer than optimal). The other is 40 and has a current partner whose sperm count and motility is  sub-optimal. Everyone has a different story, and while there's no guarantee, there is so much that is possible to support optimizing fertility. But where do you get good information to determine what actually works and what doesn't? How does stress actually impact fertility? What are the MOST important nutritional considerations to encourage egg and sperm health?Liane Moccia, author of The Herbal Fertility Handbook, shares about all this and more on today's episode.She experienced her own fertility journey while TTC which ended up in failed IVF cycles and eventually, after some nutritional and lifestyle tweaking, a successful cycle and her now 17 year old twin daughters!And now she's written a book blending her embodied experience, years of fertility-focused clinical practice and current research to offer insights into what works and what doesn't to support fertility holistically. Whether you're interested in getting pregnant someday, just curious about how to support your hormones overall or exploring assisted fertility, this conversation is perfect for you!Resources:Today's shownotes: Get links to Liane's book and websiteFree - Start tracking your cycle with FAM guideEpisode 35: A fertility story: from endo to pregnancy with Sarah ShapiroEpisode 80: Cultivating receptivity Interested in Natural Contraception?

In this eye-opening episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, host Dana Kay explores the connection between B vitamins and ADHD in children. From emotional outbursts and brain fog to poor sleep and focus issues, Dana shares why certain B vitamins—especially B6, B9 (folate), and B12—may be at the root of lingering challenges, even when parents have cleaned up their child's diet and added supplements. She breaks down how genetics like the MTHFR, SHMT1, and FUT2 mutations can affect how kids process these nutrients and why getting the “wrong” form of a vitamin might be making things worse instead of better. With clear explanations and actionable tips, Dana outlines how to use food, testing, and smart supplementation to support methylation, neurotransmitter production, detox, and more. Whether you're totally new to B vitamins or you've already tried some without results, this episode delivers the must-know science behind one of the most overlooked pieces of the ADHD puzzle. If you're ready to go beyond generic advice and support your child based on their unique needs, this episode is a must-listen.

"B vitamins aren't just about boosting energy or immunity—they're essential for brain development, detoxification, mood regulation, sleep, and focus." "Many kids with ADHD—and especially those with MTHFR gene mutations—can't effectively convert synthetic folic acid into the active form." "Methylation is like your body's traffic director." "If methylation isn't working… nothing works properly." "Your child's bloodwork might show normal B12 levels, but if their FUT2 gene isn't working properly, they still may not be absorbing or using that B12." "Methyl-B12 or methylfolate might be powerful keys—but if they don't fit your child's lock, they just won't work." "Working with a practitioner to trial supplements cautiously—and monitor responses—is key." "Food-based supplements can be a practical way to increase B vitamin intake for kids who struggle with whole-food sources." "I'm proud of you. You're doing the hard work. You're learning, showing up, and fighting for your child's health. And that matters." Dana Kay Resources:

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.
