In this episode of Apothecary February, we're talking through the best herbs to grow for a home apothecary—and where to plant them so they don't take over your garden. We cover essential garden basics like annual vs. perennial herbs, direct sow vs. starting seeds indoors, and growing herbs in containers versus in the ground. You'll learn which herbs are beginner-friendly, which ones self-seed or spread aggressively, which can be invasive in North America, and which herbs are often better to buy than grow in small spaces. This episode is a practical, realistic guide to growing medicinal herbs in any size garden, from raised beds to patio containers.   https://thehomesteadchallenge.com/common-herbs-for-herbal-remedies/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/thehomesteadchallengecommunity    

What are the best herbs for happiness? How can herbs make you happy? What does “happiness” even mean? These questions are important to consider before we dive right in, searching for “herbs for happiness.”When we say it, we're thinking: what are the things preventing you from being calm & steady? It's not so much about finding the herb to “make” you happy, as it is finding the herbs that alter your state such that happiness is something you can access.If you've ever heard “mimosa is the herb of happiness”, well, you've come across a very common but not very nuanced approach to herbalism. Instead, we need to ask: what's in the way of feeling happiness, and how can we help you get past it? More important than any list of herbs is the method of thinking through how we can identify the herbs that are likely to help a specific person.In the episode we share a couple common tendencies – excess tension and laxity, stuck heat – and describe how those can show up as happiness blockers. Then we share a few herbs we've found helpful in opening the way to happiness for ourselves, our students, and our clients.Keep Calm and Help Your Neighbors with the Birthday BOGO Bundle!Every year for Katja's birthday, we choose a course to offer at 50% off – but this year, we couldn't pick just one course.So instead, we're offering a bundle with the herbs and skills to help you stay steady & grounded, and to help you help your community, and it's more than 50% off!Click through for all the details!You might also want to check out our…Herbs to Help You Feel Happiness – a living/growing list we'll work on all year!Herbal Activity CalendarIf you have a moment, it would help us a lot if you could subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Episode: 1516 In which we must save the lore as well as the plants.  Today, we have to save more than the endangered plants.

Send us a textWe explore how a five-year whiskey aged in used cooperage becomes something new when layered with over two dozen botanicals. Kieran Walsh shares the path from wine and High West to Big Easy Whiskey and why he designed an 86 proof pour that opens on ice, thrives in a toddy, and avoids sugary shortcuts.• philosophy of enhancing whiskey rather than masking it• used cooperage to balance oak and highlight grain character• infusion set including baking spices, citrus peel, and green herbs• how hydrophobic compounds bloom with water and heat• positioning beyond the “flavored whiskey” category• New Orleans as flavor inspiration and brand home base• distribution focus on Louisiana with planned regional growth• future expressions and bourbon releases teased• simple cocktails: big easy hot toddy and absinthe pairing ideasListen, like, subscribe, leave good feedback, especially on AppleGive us a five-star review, pleaseYou can become a member and also join our PatreonWhat if American whiskey could be lifted, not lacquered? We sit down with master blender and COO Kieran Walsh of Big Easy Spirits to unpack a five-year whiskey aged in used cooperage and layered with precise infusions—baking spices, citrus peels, and verdant herbs—that amplify what whiskey already does well. No cloying sweetness, no camouflage, just a thoughtfully built 86 proof pour that blooms on ice, hums in a hot toddy, and reshapes what “flavored” can mean without losing its whiskey core.Kieran's journey runs from wine production and restrained oak philosophy to High West's blending lab, where the idea of barrel-aged cocktails and Amaro architecture took root. That background shows in every decision: used barrels keep the oak in line, botanicals track existing whiskey notes rather than fighting them, and the proof point preserves structure in cocktails while staying approachable neat. We explore how hydrophobic compounds unlock aroma with water and heat, why category rules forced a new lane beyond “flavored whiskey,” and how New Orleans—more gumbo than single note—became both muse and proving ground.We also get practical. Expect serving ideas from a minimalist Bourbon Street hot toddy (just whiskey and hot water) to an absinthe-kissed riff worthy of the Old Absinthe House. Kieran shares distribution plans rooted in local love first, then careful expansion to Texas, the Florida panhandle, Mississippi, California, and more. He teases future releases, including older base stocks with alternate infusions and two bourbons waiting in tank—early tasters' reactions ranged from “holy shit” to wide-eyed silence.If you're curious about whiskey innovation, botanical infusions, New Orleans cocktail culture, and how to bridge the gap between purist pours and sugar-heavy flavor bombs, this one's for you.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Samantha Jones to explore the hidden cost of “success” when your body is running on survival. Samantha shares how single motherhood, entrepreneurship, and chronic stress pulled her away from her own needs, and what finally helped her reconnect. This conversation is for business owners, leaders, and parents who look successful on paper but feel disconnected inside. You will hear practical ways to rebuild energy and clarity through small nourishment rituals, and a mindset shift that flips hustle culture on its head: design your life first, then build your business around it. About the Guest: Samantha Jones is an entrepreneur, culinary herbalist, wellness strategist, author, and speaker. She has worked in healthcare practices (including dentistry) and helps leaders integrate nervous system health and nourishment into real life and business. Key Takeaways: Survival-mode leadership often creates action before clarity; stability flips it to clarity then action You do not need burnout to hit milestones; success can include wellbeing A simple daily ritual (like 2 PM tea time) can rebuild body connection and self-trust Use food as support, not trends: notice what you feel, then choose nourishment accordingly Ask daily: “What do I want my life to look and feel like, and what is one small step today?” Build your life first, then build a business that fits that life How to Connect With the Guest: Website: Stirred by Earth (her forthcoming book name and her main hub) Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

I'm joined by landscape architects Andy Harris and Andy Sturgeon to explore the thinking behind the transformation of London's Sloane Street. Together, they tell the story of a project that set out to reimagine this 1km stretch as a green boulevard inspired by the nearby Chelsea Physic Garden — shifting it from a traffic-dominated thoroughfare into a calmer, more human-centred place. We talk about how landscape can knit together retail and residential life, improve wellbeing, and encourage people not just to pass through, but to linger — using planting as environmental infrastructure. From underground constraints and traffic reduction to biodiversity uplift and long-term stewardship, this conversation reveals how thoughtful urban greening can reshape experience, behaviour and connection in the heart of the city and it provides a great companion episode to last year's one on New York's High Line.  Benny's Insect of the Week: The Seven-Spot Ladybird - sponsored by Cerddwr's Herbs go to www.cerddwrshb.com and use the code BUGPODS for a listener's discount. www.cerddwrshb.com Cerddwr's Herbs on Facebook Sloane Street | John McAslan + Partners – official project page outlining the landscape and public realm transformation of this 1 km London boulevard with widened pavements, planting and green infrastructure as part of a masterplan for Cadogan Estates.

If you are struggling with stubborn belly fat, poor sleep, anxiety, or nighttime restlessness, the issue may not be calories, carbs, or willpower. The real culprit is often elevated cortisol, especially at night when it should be low. In this episode, Ben explains how chronically high cortisol blocks fat loss, disrupts sleep, increases inflammation, and accelerates aging. He breaks down how cortisol is meant to follow a natural daily rhythm and why modern stress, screen time, caffeine timing, and under-eating can keep it elevated at night. You'll learn about seven powerful herbs that help lower cortisol naturally, calm the nervous system, improve sleep quality, and support fat loss indirectly by restoring hormonal balance. Ben explains how each herb works, when to take it, and common mistakes people make when using supplements. The episode also covers what does not work for cortisol and sleep, how to safely stack herbs, how long to use them, and who should be cautious. Ben answers common listener questions about cortisol testing, fasting, melatonin, medication interactions, and long-term use. This episode is a practical, science-backed guide to helping your body exit survival mode so it can heal, burn fat, and sleep deeply again.

Episode#326-Taped January 14, 2026 We talk about your metabolic health and why it is so important. Research has shown that metabolic health is your body's ability to efficeintly turn food into energy while keeping key systems in balance like your blood sugar, insulin levels, blood pressure and cholesterol. All of this matters because metabolic health is directly linked to preventing chronic diseases like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. We will focus on maintaining good metabolic health with lifestyle habits such as nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management!

The best-seller herbal supplements we're covering today are yohimbe & horny goat weed. They placed #30 and 31 on the list we're using for this sequence of episodes. These two are marketed & sought-after as “male aphrodisiacs”, “testosterone boosters”, and even “herbal Viagra”. While it's true that each can “help” with some forms and manifestations of erectile dysfunction, in the short term or “in the moment”, they cannot correct the underlying issues… and might even make them worse.They're also quite potent, energetically speaking: heating, drying, and tonifying to a high degree. These qualities are primarily derived from potent constituents such as yohimbine and icariin. Each herb also possesses a multitude of other constituents apart from those more famous ones, which means its actions are diverse and in some cases self-contradictory.There's also a very serious problem in the supplement market for these herbs, which is that these products are frequently contaminated or adulterated. Many cases of ‘herbal' supplements for ED have been found to contain pharmaceutical drugs. In other words, that “herbal Viagra” was actually just… Viagra. Of the two of these herbs, Epimedium is significantly safer – but to be honest, we don't advise people to work with either of these plants. Other methods of addressing the issue at hand are more successful and more permanent, starting with herbal work to improve circulation and emotional steadiness. That's perhaps not as exciting as “herbal Cialis”, but it's safer and more realistic!CLICK HERE FOR FULL SHOW NOTES & REFERENCESIt's worth emphasizing that the majority of cases of erectile dysfunction, and several other types of sexual dysfunction or performance issues, are attributable to circulatory issues rather than hormonal imbalances. If you're looking for herbs to help with this trouble, and to address circulatory, blood, and heart health more broadly, then our course Cardiovascular Health is for you!Like all our offerings, this online video course comes with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, lifetime access to current & future course material, 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.

Today on the Prison Pulpit we listen to Elder W, a Chinese pastor who recently spent time in prison, teach us how to better pray for China’s persecuted believers.

Is there a “right” way to use herbs topically?Most people are familiar with salves, lotions, and creams—including non-herbalists!—but there are so many other ways that herbs can be used topically beyond these popular applications. From herbal baths and compresses to poultices and liniments (and yes, even suppositories!), topical remedies offer powerful, often immediate ways to support the body—that is, of course, if they're used appropriately.In this episode, I'll explore several different ways to work with herbs topically, and when you might choose one herbal preparation over another. You'll learn why some topical remedies work beautifully while others fall short—and how choosing the right form can make all the difference.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Ten different topical herbal preparations—and situations when each of them shines► One common mistake that will make your herbal oils much less effective► When to reach for a topical remedy made with water or alcohol instead of oil► Which topical remedies are best for localized situations, and which can provide whole-body support► When topical herbal preparations are great on their own—and when they're best paired with internal remedies and lifestyle support► and so much more…I'll also share details about how to join the free mini course that my friend and co-teacher, Emily Han, and I will be offering next week.

Winter asks something very different of us than the rest of the year.In this episode, Herbs for Hibernation (Not Hustle): Reframing the New Year, I invite you to step away from the pressure to optimize, fix, or reinvent yourself—and instead explore winter as a season of maintenance, nourishment, and sacred smallness.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared launches a new series called Extraordinary Herbs, starting with one of the most widely used—and misunderstood—herbs today: ashwagandha. You'll learn how to use ashwagandha effectively in the real world, why extract type matters, how the most popular forms differ, and what actually determines results for different people. Jared breaks down what modern human research shows, as well as how this herb was traditionally used. Often labeled as the “de-stress herb,” ashwagandha shines as so much more! It supports healthy cortisol signaling, influencing sleep quality, hormone balance, exercise recovery, cognitive function, immune resilience, and thyroid health through the HPA axis. This episode breaks it all down without hype or confusion. Products:Sensoril AshwagandhaVital SleepAnxiety ReleaseMan Up!Man Up!

In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, Dr. Eric D. Gordon — globally recognized expert in Lyme disease, ME/CFS, mold toxicity, MCAS, mitochondrial dysfunction, and complex chronic illness — explains why chronic illness is never caused by a single factor and why recovery requires a strategic “order of operations.” Recorded after meeting at Project Lab Coat during NYFW, this conversation dives into chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, why some people stay sick for years, why certain treatments backfire, how metabolomics reveals dysfunction that standard tests miss, and the future of individualized chronic illness care. Guest Bio Medical Director, Gordon Medical Associates, and President, Gordon Medical Research Center Dr. Gordon has 45+ years of experience treating the most complex chronic illness cases. He specializes in: Lyme disease and tick-borne infections ME/CFS and post-infectious illness Mold and mycotoxin exposure Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) Autoimmune disease Environmental illness Mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic collapse He co-authored the landmark 2016 PNAS metabolomics study with Dr. Robert Naviaux, which reshaped global understanding of ME/CFS and chronic inflammatory diseases. Key Topics Covered How Dr. Gordon became one of the world's leading chronic illness clinicians Why patient belief and validation are foundational to healing Why chronic illness cases don't fit conventional medical models Why herbs often worsen symptoms in MCAS or inflamed patients When pharmaceuticals help stabilize sensitive patients How chronic inflammation blocks trace mineral absorption The link between minerals, B vitamins, mitochondria, and NAD/NADH When detoxification helps — and when it causes more harm How childhood infections and environment shape lifelong immunity The massive impact of modern microbiome disruption Mold illness as the “great derailer” of Lyme treatment Why genetics like MTHFR and HLA are not destiny Why some people heal from Lyme without treatment How metabolomics and AI will usher in precision medicine What actually keeps people sick — accumulated compensations, not the tick bite What intuitive patients get right (and wrong) about their symptoms Timestamps 0:02 – Meeting Dr. Gordon at Project Labcoat 1:08 – Who he is and how he entered complex illness medicine 2:30 – Realizing conventional medicine fails chronic patients 5:45 – Why chronic illness doesn't fit standard algorithms 8:10 – Herbs vs antibiotics: what most people misunderstand 11:28 – Inflammation and why sensitive patients react to everything 13:45 – MCAS and immune overactivation 16:25 – Why herbal formulas can trigger flares 19:30 – Pharmaceuticals that calm inflammation 20:50 – Trace minerals, mitochondrial function, and NAD pathways 23:55 – Why standard labs can't see cellular dysfunction 26:10 – How childhood immune experiences shape resilience 28:40 – Environmental changes and microbiome decline 30:30 – Shoes, posture, fascia, lymphatics 36:35 – Structural healing and hypersensitive patients 41:20 – Founding Gordon Medical Associates 43:00 – Early discoveries with Lyme disease patients 48:30 – Detoxification, herbal protocols, and mold models 52:10 – Mold's ability to halt all progress 55:30 – Why mold affects some family members and not others 57:20 – How food supply antibiotics disrupt immunity 59:50 – Genetics are possibilities, not fate 1:03:20 – Why some people recover after a tick bite and others don't 1:07:00 – How AI and metabolomics will transform treatment 1:10:40 – Genes vs environment 1:13:30 – Chronic illness requires many small steps 1:16:00 – How to work with Dr. Gordon 1:18:30 – Final message of hope Pull Quotes “Chronic illness is not caused by one thing — and it's never healed by one thing.” “Herbs depend on your body's ability to modulate inflammation. If you can't dampen the fire, herbs feel like gasoline.” “Genetics are not destiny. They're possibilities.” “Mold makes every other treatment look like it's failing.” “You can absolutely get well — but there is no single magic bullet.” Call to Action If this episode brought you clarity or hope, please share it with someone navigating chronic Lyme, mold illness, MCAS, or ME/CFS.

Today I ran across someone feeling hopeless and helpless - feeling that their small impact wasn't enough. We ALL can move the needle if each of us keeps up the work. So it was time for a chat about herbs that can help us keep our heads up. As always, check with your doctor (and pharmacist!) for advice and interactions before using any herb. If you want to skip straight to the herbs, go to the 33.5 minute mark. Also, V's Mix is going on sale again this month - spend $50, get a free quart!

Look at just about any materia medica, and you will see the word "anti" in front of many an herbal action. These are subtypes of the antimicrobial action, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiamoebic, and antimalarial.    When you see these words, it is easy to assume that the herbs they describe are like natural pharmaceuticals designed to "kill" pathogens. However, that framework can mislead you and sometimes lead to poor clinical choices.    In this article, we'll rethink the entire premise of "anti-herbs" and explore how they really work. Here's what you'll learn: Why the "anti-" framework (antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, etc.) can create an allopathic mindset about herbs That many herbs work by increasing host resistance rather than killing microbes directly Why the "antiviral" label is often misleading — and why there's no such thing as a true broad-spectrum antiviral What scientific Petri dish studies actually tell us (and where the big leaps in logic happen) How the "herbal antibiotic" idea falls short — and whether herbs can disrupt gut flora or drive resistance Why organ affinity and tissue energetics matter more than chasing the pathogen Common pitfalls caused by over-focusing on "killing" instead of restoring balance An introduction to my top 10 broad-spectrum "anti" herbs   ———————————— 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. 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.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, we revisit the Grandma Was Right series to explore the therapeutic use of cayenne pepper and ginger root—two traditional remedies used for centuries to support circulation, digestion, and recovery. Jared explains why these warming herbs were historically used during illness rather than avoided, how they help restore blood flow, support digestive function, and ease aches and stiffness, and what modern research reveals about compounds like capsaicin and gingerols. You'll also learn how to use cayenne and ginger safely, how they complement each other, and why simple, time-tested remedies still matter today.Cayenne and Ginger Products DiscussedBuy KAL Think Magnesium L-Threonate AND Lifeseasons Lion's Mane Mushroom together and save $28!

In this informative and grounded talk, clinical herbalist Liane Moccia shares some of her most trusted herbal strategies for building a strong fertility foundation. Drawing from both clinical experience and current research, Liane walks through four foundational herbal allies she regularly uses in her fertility and preconception practice — herbs chosen for their antioxidant activity, stress support, sleep benefits, and overall role in supporting egg and sperm quality. This video is ideal for anyone: • Planning for pregnancy • Actively trying to conceive • Supporting fertility alongside IVF or other assisted methods • Interested in evidence-based, holistic fertility support Liane also speaks openly about her own fertility journey, her integrative approach to herbal medicine and Western care, and why foundational herbs are often overlooked in favor of trendier remedies.
