In this episode, Mary Greensmith chats with homeopath Mary Cosmas, who practices in London and East Sussex. Having grown up in a family of homeopaths, Mary has seen firsthand how homeopathy for anxiety and other conditions can transform lives. She now uses her knowledge to support clients, friends, and family through the power of natural healing. What Is Anxiety from a Homeopathic View? Mary explains that anxiety often stems from a fear of what might happen, rather than a response to something happening right now. In homeopathy for anxiety, practitioners don't just treat the feeling itself—they explore the root causes and emotional layers behind it. This holistic approach to anxiety helps people build resilience and feel calmer even when life stays challenging. Homeopathic Treatment for Acute Anxiety When someone feels anxious suddenly—like before a speech or flight—homeopaths focus on current symptoms. Physical feelings like sweating, palpitations, or needing fresh air help narrow down the right natural remedies for anxiety. For immediate needs, a carefully matched remedy can bring natural anxiety relief quickly, calming both mind and body. Homeopathy for Chronic Anxiety If anxiety has been building for years, it's important to go deeper. Mary discusses how homeopathic treatment for anxiety involves a detailed history, exploring everything from childhood traumas to longstanding fears. Healing anxiety through homeopathy is like peeling an onion: layer by layer. Over time, this deeper work helps reset emotional responses and promotes true, lasting change—offering an effective path for how to treat anxiety naturally. How Homeopaths Find the Right Remedy Finding the right anxiety remedies involves gathering at least 5–6 symptoms. A repertory—a large reference book—lists remedies based on physical and emotional signs. Then, homeopaths cross-check in the Materia Medica, which describes full remedy profiles. This careful matching ensures a truly personalized approach, not a one-size-fits-all solution, highlighting why alternative treatments for anxiety like homeopathy are so unique. Examples of Helpful Remedies Mary and Mary discuss some well-known homeopathic remedies for stress and emotional health: Ignatia: For sudden grief and emotional shocks. Natrum Muriaticum: For silent grief and emotional walls. Pulsatilla: For clinginess, mood swings, and needing reassurance. Baryta Carbonica: For shyness and social fears, especially in children. Gelsemium and Argentum Nitricum: For performance and anticipatory anxiety. Each remedy fits a different emotional pattern, proving why choosing the right one is so important when seeking natural remedies for anxiety. Homeopathy doesn't force healing; it gently encourages the body's natural ability to recover. Healing happens at each person's unique pace, and true improvement can transform emotional wellbeing from the inside out. For anyone exploring natural anxiety relief or searching for alternative treatments for anxiety, homeopathy offers a compassionate, personalized solution.

There's something about winter that makes us want to bundle up and get warm. And while many of us do this with sweaters, a beanie, and thick wool socks, there's another critical way we stay warm: Through the herbs and food we eat. In many herbal traditions, plants are often split into warming or cooling. A cooling herb might be great in summer, but it can leave you feeling off-balance during the cold winter months. That's why it's important to turn to warming herbs and spices that heat us up from the inside out. By doing this, we not only stay warmer, but we also come a little bit closer to living in harmony with nature's cycles. In today's episode, you'll learn: How living in harmony with the seasons connects us with nature  Why using warming herbs keeps us balanced, vital, and healthy during winter The main actions, energetics, and affinities of warming herbs How to use simple warming spices you already have at home My favorite recipes for warming teas, herbal lattes, and even a few cocktails   ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

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.

In this episode, I welcome back Elizabeth Adalian, who you will remember guested back on Episode 38 of the show, and Dr. Nigel Hargreaves, a Homeopath and Climate Scientist. Elizabeth has been a practising homeopathy for over thirty years and has taught homeopathy in the UK and in different countries around the world.  Joining Elizabeth is Dr. Nigel Hargreaves who has a background in engineering, climate change and sustainability, and carried out research on energy systems for his PhD.  Nigel met Elizabeth in the 1980s after working in Asia and Africa and benefitted from her life-saving treatment with homeopathy from illness he had developed. His career in homeopathy started in the 1990s  at the London School of Homeopathy where he studied for his Licentiate and later started a practice focussed on helping people recover from drug and alcohol addiction.  Now working in the fields of energy decarbonisation and environmental regeneration, Nigel believes homeopathy has a critical role to play in building mental, emotional and physical disease resilience as we face increasingly threatening and complex global challenges.  I ask both Elizabeth and Nigel about their new book, Flourishing Against the Odds: Homeopathy for Our Rapidly Changing World. Flourishing Against the Odds: Homeopathy for Our Rapidly Changing World, presents a homeopathic toolkit not only for professional homeopaths, but also one which will appeal to other therapeutic modalities. It is aimed at treating individuals facing the challenges arising from the impacts of major events in today's rapidly changing world. These traumatising events include the manifold instances of population  displacement from wars, toxic environmental pollution, the Covid-19 pandemic with the associated mental and emotional fallout from authoritarian lockdowns, as well as the growing threat of climate change and algorithmic media which has eroded trust and driven political and identity polarisation. This new book offers a guide to practitioners working in contemporary times to support thriving in their patients, within a world of disarray and disconnection. A transgenerational practice model is presented in Part 1 and a Materia Medica of homeopathic remedies in Part 2, selected to help readers navigate their way in repairing and restoring the health of their patients to flourish against the odds.

In this excerpt, Dr. Murphy discusses the critical aspects of teaching homeopathy, emphasizing the importance of thoroughly learning the remedies themselves. He argues that an over-reliance on the repertory is a weakness and can undermine a practitioner's ability to apply homeopathy effectively in real-world scenarios.

This podcast is an excerpt from the “Nervous Disorders” lecture by Dr. Robin Murphy, ND In Dr. Murphy's Nervous Disorders lecture, disorders covered include Alzheimer's disease, Bell's Palsy, Parkinson's disease, chronic fatigue, epilepsy and convulsions, fainting, headaches, migraines, memory problems, narcolepsy, motion sickness, multiple sclerosis, paralysis, sleep disorders, strokes, vertigo, and coma.

I've spent many hours poring over Thomas Avery Garran's materia medica books. In fact, his first book was one of the first herbal books that I bought when I started studying Chinese medicine! And as you'll see in this episode, Thomas clearly loves plants and has wonderful insights into them, from their gifts and energetics to how to grow and harvest them.I was surprised when Thomas chose motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) as his plant for the interview – I just didn't see it coming! But as you'll see, it's obvious how much he loves motherwort, and he shares so much about this wonderful plant's gifts – including his recipe for Tension Relief Tincture. By the way, if you are or know someone who suffers from PMS, this is one recipe you don't want to miss! (You can find the link to the beautifully illustrated recipe card here.)By the end of this episode, you'll know:► A lesser-known herbal preparation that can be made with motherwort► How to recognize high-quality cut-and-dried motherwort► Five tips for growing and harvesting your own motherwort► The main health conditions for which motherwort's gifts shine► When you should (and shouldn't) use motherwort► Why Thomas is passionate about herb farming► and so much more…For those of you who don't know him, Thomas Avery Garran has been studying plant medicine for over 30 years. He lived in China for sixteen years and received his PhD in Materia Medica studies and Plant Pharmacy at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing, and was the first non-Chinese recipient of this degree. He has a master's degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine and a certificate in herbal medicine from the American School of Herbalism. Thomas is the author of two books on the use of Western herbs in Chinese medicine; he is also the translator of the first book on growing and processing daodi Chinese herbs and the first men's health book published in Chinese medicine in the mid 17th century.

Dr. John Milton Bigelow did not shy away from hard work, challenges, or adventure. At the age of 46, he signed on as surgeon and botanist for the Mexican Boundary Survey, following the U.S.-Mexican War that fulfilled the gold-hungry manifest destiny of the Americans.  This adventure took him through the Chihuahuan, Sonoran and Colorado deserts, where he catalogued the great variety of desert plants along with several other botanists on the expedition — including C.C. Parry, namesake of Parry's Nolina. The work was so pleasing to Bigelow that he readily accepted similar appointments as field botanist in some of America's wildest lands.

He grew up in America and came to Germany on a scholarship to teach at one of the new Universities of former East Germany. After teaching there and in Berlin and then a year of teaching English in Japan, in 2003 he started to study homeopathy and healing full-time in Berlin. His studies took him to Italy and then to India, where homeopathy is taught alongside conventional medicine and Ayurveda medical colleges across the country. There he began many years of study in Dehradun with Dr. Ravi Roy. During that time he began to study yoga, astrology, numerology, and healing with gemstones with the Johari family in Haridwar. Since 2007 he has been practicing homeopathic medicine in Berlin as a “Heilpraktiker” — conducting provings of homeopathic medicines as well as training professional homeopaths.

Researchers find Cordyceps used in traditional medicine can fight cancer Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, October 23, 2022 Chinese scientists have found evidence that a fungus used in traditional Chinese medicine widely sought by the public for its healing powers, also carries anti-cancer benefits. The scientists found there was an interaction between two anti-cancer compounds in the fungus Cordyceps militaris. The first, cordycepin, was noted in Cordyceps militaris in 1950, but how it interacted remained unknown. The second, pentostatin, was first identified from a bacterium and was developed as a commercial drug to treat leukemia and other cancers in the 1990s. “For the first time, we decoded the biosynthesis mechanism of cordycepin in the fungus, and during the research we unexpectedly discovered pentostatin,” said Wang Chengshu, head of the research team at the Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, a branch of the Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “These two compounds coexist in fungal cells in the form of a protector and protege – that is to say, cordycepin is synthesized with the coupled production of pentostatin to protect the stability of the former,” he said. Their research also showed that the fungus initiates a detoxification process when the cordycepin in the body reaches an excessively high level, which can be toxic. Cordyceps fungi are popular in China for their widely believed immunity-enhancing and energy-strengthening properties. Their uses in medical treatment date to the Compendium of Materia Medica, a book widely deemed the encyclopedia of traditional Chinese medicine written in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Omega-3 fatty acid could boost IQ for preterm babies South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute, October 27, 2022 New research from SAHMRI has found a link between the omega-3 fatty acid known as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and increased IQ among children born prematurely. Preterm children are more likely to have lower IQ scores and cognitive impairments compared with term-born children. Dr. Jacqueline Gould, who led the study now published in the New England Journal of Medicine, says infants born at the earliest gestations are deprived of the natural supply of DHA that normally builds up in the brain during the last trimester of pregnancy. “These babies have low concentrations of DHA in their brain tissue, which may contribute to poorer cognitive outcomes,” Dr. Gould said. The study followed 323 infants born before 29 weeks' gestation, who were given 60mg of DHA/kg per day via enteral or control tube feeding. They were compared with 333 children in the control group, who received an emulsion with no DHA. At five years old, children in both groups underwent the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) IQ test. “On average, those in the DHA group scored 3.5 points higher on the IQ scale than those in the control group,” Dr. Gould said. “These very promising results suggest DHA has the potential to improve cognitive performance when administered via emulsion for infants born before 29 weeks' gestation.” Crossword puzzles beat computer video games in slowing memory loss Columbia University Irving Medical Center & Duke University, October 27, 2022 A new study by researchers from Columbia University and Duke University published in the journal NEJM Evidence shows that doing crossword puzzles has an advantage over computer video games for memory functioning in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. In a randomized, controlled trial, led by D.P. Devanand, MD, professor of psychiatry and neurology at Columbia, with Murali Doraiswamy, MD, professor of psychiatry and medicine at Duke, researchers determined that participants (average age 71) trained in doing web-based crossword puzzles demonstrated greater cognitive improvement than those who were trained on cognitive video games. “This is the first study to document both short-term and longer-term benefits for home-based crossword puzzles training compared to another intervention,” said Dr. Devanand, who oversees brain aging and mental health research at Columbia. “The results are important in light of difficulty in showing improvement with interventions in mild cognitive impairment.” To conduct their study, researchers at Columbia and Duke randomly assigned 107 participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) at the two different sites to either crossword puzzles training or cognitive games training with intensive training for 12 weeks followed by booster sessions up to 78 weeks. Both interventions were delivered via a computerized platform with weekly compliance monitoring. The most striking findings of the trial were: Crossword puzzles were superior to cognitive games on the primary cognitive outcome measure, ADAS-Cog, at both 12 weeks and 78 weeks. Crossword puzzles were superior on FAQ, a measure of daily functioning, at 78 weeks. Crossword puzzles were superior for participants at a later disease stage but both forms of training were equally effective in an earlier stage. Brain shrinkage (measured with MRI) was less for crossword puzzles at 78 weeks. “The benefits were seen not only in cognition but also in daily activities with indications of brain shrinkage on MRI that suggests that the effects are clinically meaningful,” Dr. Devanand said. The study also highlights the importance of engagement. Based on remote electronic monitoring of computer use, participants at a later stage of impairment may have better engaged with the more familiar crossword puzzles than with computerized cognitive games. Atherosclerosis, ED, low vitamin D levels linked Guizhou Medical University (China), October 24 2022. A study published in Frontiers in Endocrinology evaluated the associations between lower serum levels of vitamin D, erectile dysfunction (ED) and an increased risk of atherosclerosis. The investigation included 163 men aged 30 to 60 years who received physical examinations at the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University. Fasting blood samples were analyzed for serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and other factors. Carotid intima-media thickness, an indicator of atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries, was measured using ultrasound. International index of erectile function-5 (IIEF-5) scores were graded as mild, moderate or severe according to ED severity. Thirty-nine participants whose IIEF-5 scores indicated no ED served as control subjects. Serum vitamin D levels were lower and carotid intima-media thickness values were higher among men with moderate and severe ED compared to the control group. Carotid intima-media thickness was significantly higher among men with severe ED compared with those who had mild ED. After adjustment, significant correlations were found between IIEF-5 scores, carotid intima-media thickness and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D. In their discussion, authors Jun-hao Zhang of Soochow University and colleagues remarked that vitamin D may affect erectile function via its interaction with the endothelial cells of the corpora cavernosa, which is the spongy tissue within the penis that fills with blood during an erection. Vitamin D may affect the production and release by endothelial cells of nitric oxide, a compound that helps relax the blood vessels, thereby improving erectile function. The vitamin may also help decrease damage to endothelial cell function caused by oxidative stress. “Serum vitamin D level should be analyzed in men with ED, especially in patients with vasculogenic ED, and supplementation is recommended for those who were with vitamin D deficiency,” the authors wrote. Carnitine supplementation could improve cold tolerance and more University of Utah, October 23 2022 Cell Metabolism reported research findings from the University of Utah School of Medicine that reveal a role for carnitine in the body's response to cold temperatures. “Cold-induced thermogenesis is an energy-demanding process that protects endotherms against a reduction in ambient temperature,” Judith Simcox, PhD, and colleagues write. “We found that the liver undergoes a metabolic switch to provide fuel for brown fat thermogenesis by producing acylcarnitines.” “Cold stimulates white adipocytes to release free fatty acids that activate the nuclear receptor HNF4α, which is required for acylcarnitine production in the liver and adaptive thermogenesis,” they continue. “Once in circulation, acylcarnitines are transported to brown adipose tissue, while uptake into white adipose tissue and liver is blocked.” Acylcarnitines are fatty acyl esters of L-carnitine that were found to increase in young mice during cold adaptation. “It was surprising to see acylcarnitines in the bloodstream,” Dr Simcox remarked. With aging comes a decline in the ability to adapt to cold exposure. In the current study, researchers found that a single dose of L-carnitine or palmitoylcarnitine improved aging-related cold sensitivity in mice. Because activating cold adaptation burns calories, improving the process be useful for more than the ability to tolerate cold environments. Feeling chirpy: Being around birds is linked to lasting mental health benefits King's College London, October 27, 2022 New research from King's College London has found that seeing or hearing birds is associated with an improvement in mental well-being that can last up to eight hours. This improvement was also evident in people with a diagnosis of depression—the most common mental illness worldwide—indicating the potential role of birdlife in helping those with mental health conditions. Lead author Ryan Hammoud, Research Assistant at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), King's College London, said: “There is growing evidence on the mental health benefits of being around nature and we intuitively think that the presence of birdsong and birds would help lift our mood. However, there is little research that has actually investigated the impact of birds on mental health in real-time and in a real environment. The study took place with 1,292 participants completing 26,856 assessments. Participants were recruited worldwide. The app asked participants three times a day whether they could see or hear birds, followed by questions on mental well-being to enable researchers to establish an association between the two and to estimate how long this association lasted. Researchers showed that the links between birds and mental well-being were not explained by co-occurring environmental factors such the presence of trees, plants, or waterways. Our study provides an evidence base for creating and supporting biodiverse spaces that harbor birdlife, since this is strongly linked with our mental health. In addition, the findings support the implementation of measures to increase opportunities for people to come across birdlife, particularly for those living with mental health conditions such as depression.”
