Occasionally we need to be reminded that before pharmacies, cultures had to rely on native plants and animals as sources of medicine. I was reminded recently when I was going through some papers and came across a copy of a manuscript titled “Lakota Medicinal and Culturally Important Plants,” authored by Wilbur Flying By, Sr. and Linda Different Cloud Jones, copyrighted by Sitting Bull College in 2003. The manuscript contains the scientific name, common name, Lakota name, and use of the plants.

Today we have an episode from the ABC series Pacific Scientific.   The series travels across the Pacific to meet researchers tackling different problems – from climate change to protecting baby turtles.   In this episode Samoan reporter Adel Fruean is in her hometown to visit a secretive lab at the Scientific Research Organisation of Samoa where scientists are unlocking the power of plants.  

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have observed a male orangutan, Rakus, using plants as medicine—a first-ever recording of a wild animal self-medicating for wound care. This unique behavior was spotted in the jungle, where Rakus chewed the stem and leaves of a plant known for its anti-inflammatory properties and applied it to his injured cheek. The wound, likely caused by a territorial fight, healed within a month.What makes this finding extraordinary is its implications for both orangutans and humans. Dr Isabelle Laumer, the lead researcher and guest on our latest Talking Apes episode, highlights how Rakus' actions could offer insights into the evolutionary roots of self-medication in primates, possibly tracing back to a common ancestor. Her research opens up questions about how much orangutans—and perhaps other great apes—might already know about medicinal plants in their environment.Join us for this special Orangutan Caring Week episode to explore how this discovery reshapes our understanding of primate intelligence, behavior, and our shared evolutionary past. Don't miss this look into the wild world of orangutan healing techniques.Tune in to uncover the full story and the fascinating questions it raises!Send us a textSupport the showTalking Apes is an initiative of the nonprofit GLOBIO.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…" It is striking how much these immortal words, written by Charles Dickens in the mid-19th century at the height of the Industrial Revolution, still apply today. We live in a similarly paradoxical era, only a more complex one. It was during Dickens' time that we began down the unstainable path of prioritizing industry over ecological health, mainly because we were captivated by the hope of progress, or resigned to its inevitability. These conditions really haven't changed. What is different is the accelerated pace of change. Most of the technological comforts we take for granted occurred within the past one hundred years, including electricity, which almost nobody had access to one hundred years ago.So how do we best live and love in modern times? Perhaps the key is to escape the boundaries of time. Both men on this program have stepped outside the conventions of their day. They have left behind modern technological conveniences and chosen to directly encounter the natural world. Thomas Rain Crowe, following the tracks of Thoreau, retreated to his own cabin in the woods, where he lived without electricity and running water for four years. Marc Thibault has ventured deep into the Amazon rainforest on many occasions. He just came back a couple of days ago.What have these men learned about life while indigenizing themselves to the land? Can we remember what it is to be fully human and learn to live and love in the broadest possible sense? What do kinship systems of nature teach us about love? Can modern society learn to go beyond insular love between two humans and become one with the Beloved, one with the Great Mystery of life we are all so privileged to experience.ABOUT OUR GUESTS:Thomas Rain Crowe is an internationally published author, editor, and translator of more than thirty books, including the multi-award winning memoir Zoro's Field: My Life in the Appalachian Woods (2005). He is also a publisher himself (New Native Press) which publishes works of environmental activism and cultural preservation. He was born and raised in Cullowhee, NC. in the Appalachian mountain region of western North Carolina, and this laid the foundation for his literary endeavors and also shaped his profound connection to his land based cultural heritage. During the 1970s he lived abroad in France and then returned to the US, moving to San Francisco, where he became editor of Beatitude (Be-at-a-tood) magazine and press in San Francisco, which made him one of the “Baby Beat” generation. From 1979-1982, he moved back to the woods of western North Carolina to live in the aforementioned cabin where he composed Zoro's Field. His literary repertoire includes poetry collections, essays, and books that delve into themes encompassing nature, spirituality, social issues, and the human condition. Beyond his original poetry, Crowe became renowned for his skillful translations of contemporary and historical European, Sufi, and Hindu poets, including his most recent publication, a masterful translation of select Kabir poems entitled Painting from the Palette of Love, which I might add, I just devoured over the last two days.  For a quarter century Marc Thibault has been involved in the social and environmental impact sphere as an entrepreneur, system thinkers and policy influencer covering a wide span of industries and issues developing novel solutions requiring human-centered design while integrating environmental and social concerns. His spent 10 years pioneering model-driven decision support systems until he had his first life-changing epiphany, when he realized how much modern humans, especially children, were exposed to toxic chemicals. Being a father of two boys, he devoted the next 15 years to solving environmental health issues working across the private, public and non-profit sectors and has also worked with hybrid B corps to provide plant based alternatives to toxic chemicals and better protect our children – And then he had his second life changing experience in 2012 when he visited the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest which led him to starting Nativien (an Indigenous-centered hybrid organization using the universal language of medicinal plants). He is currently active in supporting Indigenous Peoples to create a network of Living Pharmacies throughout the Amazon Rainforest, with three essential goals: 1) bring about a biocultural economy, 2) strengthen Indigenous Traditional Knowledge systems, and 3) change the way moderns relate to the natural world and traditional Indigenous communities.

When I first started learning wilderness skills and discovering wild foods, my mentors taught and also modeled a deep sense of gratitude to these living beings that we used every day.  I didn't know how to do it the 'right way', but I made every attempt to show my appreciation, b0th out loud and in my head.  What I wasn't prepared for was the feeling that I had from THEM, which was both intuitive and at other times, clear and concise with detailed information that held up!    There is no question that all wild foods leaders, herbalists and foragers are essential Forest Educators who hold a powerful role in our circle, so it was really meaningful to have this conversation with author and educator Liz Neves.  Her wild plant walks in Brooklyn and other parts of the NYC area have been a wonderful learning opportunity for urban dwellers looking for more nature.   We explored her work, her book Northeast Medicinal Plants and some of our favorite plants, too!  Forest Educator Bonus Content Page: http://foresteducator.com/bonuscontent Join the Forest Educator Patreon! https://patreon.com/ForestEducatorPodcast Connect with Ricardo: https://www.foresteducator.com/ https://www.theforestboxforkids.com/ https://www.hawkcircle.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricardo-sierra-5980931/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_forest_educator_podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RicardohawkSierra

“A river of material flows through us.When we share our works and our ideas, they are replenished.If we block the flow by holding them all inside,the river cannot run and new ideas are slow to appear.”― Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of BeingToday's episode explores reasons why we get “backed up” and seasons of having “the runs” - creatively speaking.The poop metaphor came out of a writing course I took recently that offered a way of understanding creativity akin to a daily physical need. It a visceral reminder not to belabor the act of writing, speaking, drawing, designing, painting, creating… just s**t and get off the pot.Easier said than done.Lately I've had too many ideas without a way of relieving myself and so this episode is honestly a way for me to loosen things up and take some of the pressure off. There's no straining here - I even chose to not edit the ummms our of this one.So here we go - let's consider the energy of our own creative cycles in relationship to:* where ideas come from and where they go* outlets and containers for creativity* noticing times of gestation* tracking times of output* looking to the harvest cycle as it relates to the energy of the Leo archetype* remedies for creative constipationSpirals at the center of the seedPomegranate seed reference image mentioned in this episode: Punica granatum in Köhler's Medicinal Plants 1897 by Walther Otto MüllerThe process from draft to completionThis is the Harvest Cycle Artwork series that I created last year for the 2024 Lunar Wall Calendar.

Happy Spring everyone, I hope your life is coming up roses, and Rosehips! It's what I call the cooling turmeric. A lot of people know about turmeric, but do you know the powerful aspirations of rosehips? It definitely wants to be a good anti-inflammatory, and it is. Roses are so beautiful and they're cooing and they're lovely and they help the nervous system. Rosehips are a good way to give your dog an anti inflammatory, especially for dogs that are warm, hot and damp. I am going to do another book review today, I'll review Herbs for Pets. I love this book and want to share it with you. This is a wonderful book to get the idea of the herbs out there that can work with your pet. So let's get to it and dive right in.

Good morning, this is Rita Hogan and welcome to the Dogs Are Individuals podcast. This podcast is all about your dog through an herbal lens. It is a beautiful day out, I am loving, loving Spring. Everything's coming up, everything is in flower, making a lot of flower essences here. Just love flower essences, they are just beautiful and a great tool in your toolbox. A lot of people overlook them, but if you've been listening to me for a while, you know the emotional component of a dog is important. So don't overlook the flower essences of the world. We are talking today about anxiety, it's a Q+A from Laura Humphreys - thank you for writing into the podcast. The first thing what I do with a dog that is anxious and restless and having a hard time paying attention for training, I would check the diet. Bring down the carb. If your dog is on kibble, I would work towards a minimally processed diet with fresh food feeding. Low carb, get rid of some of the sugar in the diet. Second, I would look at the kidney. Anytime I have a dog that is on a good diet but is acting really fearful and reactive, I start supporting the kidneys. This time of year, we have a lot of restlessness because we are in Spring. I would work with herbs like blessed thistle, milk thistle leaf and flower, leaf flower and root, milk thistle and nettl flower Okay, so let's jump in!

This week's hemp podcast is a recap of the 10th annual NoCo Hemp Expo in Estes Park, Colorado, April 11-13, where industry stakeholders gathered to collaborate, commiserate and celebrate the state of hemp in 2024. The episode features voices from many attendees, including Colorado Gov. Jared Polis. “We're really all hands on deck to make sure Colorado continues to be an ag powerhouse, and hemp is a big part of that,” Polis said. State Ag Commissioner Kate Greenberg agreed with the governor and said the “conversation is really just diversified in what hemp is capable of.” Hemp researcher Przemyslaw Baraniecki came all the way from the Institute of Natural Fibres and Medicinal Plants in Poland, where hemp was never prohibited yet still carries a stigma. “In Europe, when you when you say to someone on the street ‘hemp,' they will smile and treat it as something, let's say, spicy,” Baraniecki said. Karll Lecher from Dakota Hemp Co. in South Dakota echoed those sentiments and the industry is being held back by conflicting messaging. “We just need one unifying voice to enlighten the public about hemp and maybe get rid of some of those stigmas,” he said. The Hemp Twins — Abigail and Noemy Cuevas — from Los Angeles have been hosting workshops and events back home for years to educate the public and spread the message of hemp. For Noemy, hempcrete construction is one of the bright spots in the hemp industry. “Living in Los Angeles, California, we have a lot of wildfires, so if we would have hemp building, then we will be able to save people's homes, people's lives,” she said. Andrew Bish from Hemp Harvest Works, an equipment manufacturer from Nebraska, was showcasing a recent research-scale decorticator. “We produced this for universities around the country, as well as processors that want to work to ultimately grade their herd and fiber products,” he said.

In this episode, we delve into the world of plant medicines. Our guest, Natalie Hammerquist, a herbalist based in Washington state, shares her extensive knowledge and experience in herbalism and foraging local wild plants. Natalie's journey, rooted in a degree from The Evergreen State College, led her to explore herbalism, plant taxonomy, and food science. Under the guidance of renowned herbalists like Cascade Anderson Geller and Matthew Wood, Natalie integrated aspects of Chinese medicine and Western herbalism into her practice. What's particularly intriguing about our conversation is Natalie's emphasis on the importance of collaboration between restorationists and herbalists to ensure sustainable caretaking and the preservation of plant resources. Natalie also shares her personal journey into herbalism, shaped by her own health struggles during college, and highlights the diverse approaches within herbalism, blending scientific methodologies with traditional wisdom. Additionally, Natalie sheds light on the regulatory disparities between the United States and Europe, emphasizing the need for advocacy and education to support herbalism and holistic health practices. She offers insights into her forthcoming book, "Medicinal Plants of the Pacific Northwest," which aims to provide practical guidance and visual aids for identifying medicinal plants, emphasizing the importance of accurate plant identification and ethical harvesting practices. We dig into topics such as the significance of timing in harvesting, ethical considerations inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer's concept of the Honorable Harvest, and the therapeutic properties of plants like knotweed, blackberry, and hawthorn. Natalie advocates for sustainable harvesting practices that balance the benefits and impacts of these plants, promoting a mindful approach that honors the interconnectedness of all living beings and fosters responsibility for the wider environment.
