In this second episode of A Devotional Life in a Broken World, I sit with Motherwort, a plant whose very name holds a beautiful paradox: lion hearted strength and deep maternal tenderness. Together we explore what it means to remain open and vulnerable while also protecting what is sacred within us.
One of the core pillars hormonal health - the dynamic healthy dance of our hormones - is a resilient nervous system.I don't love using the word regulated, because that sounds like we're trying to neutralize or dampen our nervous system response, when what we really want is to grow our capacity to feel all the things fully, and complete the waves.So what can we do yo cool and calm our frazzled, anxious, agitated systems? Herbs can be amazing allies for this, really it's one of the places they shine.In today's episode, I share about motherwort as a relaxing, antispasmodic, cooling nervine; milky oats as a deep restorative nervous system tonic; and schisandra as an incredible ally for stress resilience as well as nourishing our qi and retaining fluids in the body.Hopefully these glimpses feel supportive in this summer season that tends towards heat, intensity, drive and excess activity. A time when we would do well to incorporate some cooling and calming herbal allies alongside.Resources:Free 10 key herbs for hormonal health (incl. 5 herbal pillars of hormonal health) guideToday's shownotes: Herbal allies to cool + calm the nervous systemEpisode 17: How stress messes with your hormonesEpisode 32: Herbal spotlight on motherwortEpisode 40: Herbal spotlight on schisandraEpisode 68: Herbal spotlight on milky oatsIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

If you've been doing everything right and still not getting better, this episode was made for you.Dr. Stephanie Canestraro sits down with her colleague and friend, Dr. Christine Schaffner, a naturopathic doctor, bioregulatory medicine expert, and founder of the Sensitive Stack. She has spent her career on the cutting edge of what it actually takes to heal the patients who fall through every crack in conventional and even functional medicine.At the center of this conversation is a concept that changes everything: sensitivity is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The rising epidemic of mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), histamine intolerance, long COVID, and chronic multisystem illness isn't happening in a vacuum. It's a signal from the terrain, the extracellular matrix, the autonomic nervous system, the fascia, that the body's innate intelligence has been blocked. Dr. Christine explains the foundational principles of bioregulatory medicine, which emerged from Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, and why its approach to regulation, terrain theory, and interference fields offers a roadmap that functional medicine alone often misses.One of the most overlooked and most impactful areas they cover is the dental connection. Root canals, amalgam fillings, cavitations, and hidden jaw infections are among the most common interference fields Dr. Christine sees in chronically ill patients. A dead tooth is a chronic infection, and that infection has direct access to the vagus nerve, the lymphatic system, and the organ meridians mapped on the dental chart. Dr. Stephanie shares her own experience supporting a close family member who went from severe anxiety and heart palpitations to calm and functional — simply by removing one infected root canal. Both doctors discuss how to approach dental interventions safely, why preparation and the right biological dentist matter, and how to mitigate the healing response that can follow.The conversation goes deep on hormones, the menstrual cycle, and chronic illness, territory that rarely gets the clinical attention it deserves. Dr. Christine explains what she calls the "luteal phase flare," the week before a woman's period when progesterone drops, prostaglandins rise, and the immune system wakes up to everything it suppressed during the potential implantation window. For women with Lyme disease, mold illness, parasites, or MCAS, this is often the hardest week of the month and it doesn't have to be. They also cover estrogen dominance, beta-glucuronidase, zearalenone (the mold mycotoxin that mimics estrogen), and the liver's central role in hormone metabolism and detoxification.Dr. Christine also shares her own deeply personal journey, navigating a lawsuit, rebuilding her practice, and facing a diagnosis of a 3.2 centimeter pituitary macroadenoma that required brain surgery. In the two weeks between diagnosis and the operating table, she leaned entirely into energy medicine, coherence healings, meditation, and intention work. Her surgeon later told her he'd be studying her tumor for a long time because for its size, it came out unusually easily. Her story is a testament to what's possible when you apply everything you teach.✦ In this episode:• Bioregulatory medicine explained and why it goes beyond functional medicine• Terrain theory vs. germ theory, and what Louis Pasteur said on his deathbed• The extracellular matrix, lymphatic stagnation, and where disease actually begins• Interference fields: scars, hidden infections, and dental toxicity blocking your healing• Root canals, cavitations, and amalgams as chronic infections connected to your organs• MCAS, histamine intolerance, and why sensitivity is a symptom, not a root cause• The luteal phase flare: why women with chronic illness feel worse before their period• Estrogen dominance, zearalenone mold toxin, and beta-glucuronidase• Long COVID, post-vaccine immune dysregulation, and TH1/TH2 immune imbalance• 5G, EMFs, voltage-gated calcium channels, and cell membrane destabilization• Motherwort, hawthorn, and lemon balm as natural calcium channel stabilizers• Dr. Christine's pituitary tumor diagnosis, brain surgery, and healing journey• The Sensitive Stack: Dr. Christine's new program for sensitive, hard-to-treat patients✦ Find Dr. Christine Schaffner:Website: drchristineschaffner.comThe Sensitive Stack: available at her website and on InstagramInstagram: @drchristineschaffner✦ About Dr. Stephanie Canestraro:Dr. Stephanie is a chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and chronic illness survivor.

In this episode, I share five core herbs I return to in times of crisis, emotional overwhelm, and uncertainty.
In this episode, I explore the idea of robustness—what it means to stay steady, rooted, and responsive in the face of challenge. From a seasonal and herbal perspective, robustness is a measure of health: not the absence of difficulty, but our capacity to meet life as it is without losing our center.Winter is a time that naturally asks us to slow down, turn inward, and build reserves. Drawing on lessons from nature and community, I reflect on how resilience is shaped through challenge, vulnerability, and connection rather than isolation or hardening.In this conversation, I talk about how robustness can be cultivated through simple practices, relationships, and plant medicine—especially during winter, when our systems need extra support.In this episode, I explore:- What robustness is and why it matters for mental and physical health- How resilience is built by meeting challenge rather than avoiding it- Lessons from nature about strength, adaptability, and seasonal cycles- Community and co-regulation as foundations of collective robustness- Quiet winter practices like candle gazing to help organize thoughts- Singing, humming, and vocal toning to calm the nervous system- Staying connected to nature as a source of steadiness and strengthHerbal allies I discuss for supporting robustness and resilience include:- Licorice root – a deeply nourishing adaptogen for building reserves- Motherwort – a comforting herb for the heart during distressI also touch on nourishment beyond herbs, including sunflower oil, and how fats and oils support the skin, nervous system, and overall vitality during the colder months.This episode is an invitation to think about robustness not as pushing through or toughening up, but as the ability to remain present, connected, and supported—especially in times that feel uncertain or demanding.
In this episode, I chat with Hayley Agnew, a mischievous wearer of mismatched earrings, who is also a naturopath, Bowen therapist & yoga teacher and thrives on human and nature connection. She loves, lives & works in regional South Australia and weaves her magic from her clinic 'Our Healing Place'.Hayley and I chat about self care being a responsibility to ourselves that requires a loving discipline and a belief in ourselves being worthy of care. And meeting the resistance that often arises when we're building a new way of being.Hayley shares her deep connection with Rose and the beautiful wisdom this plant has shared with her throughout her life about healthy boundaries and renewal and strength.Another favourite Hayley speaks about is Shatavari, traditionally a special women's herb- I love her take on the more energetic aspects of this plant.We bring in Motherwort and Calendula and circle back to a more in depth dive into Rose medicine.There's so many gems in this one, I can't wait for you to listen in!**CONNECT**You can connect with HAYLEY via her website Our Healing Place 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.

Click here to send me a quick message :) What herbs can help bring your bleed on? This is a question I've been asked in so many ways over the years.Honestly probably one of the most common. And we ALL deserve access to this information. Especially in these... turbulent times.I'm not talking abortifacients, I'm talking when you are still in your luteal phase and would be expecting your menstruation in days or weeks.THIS is the most effective time to be working with herbs. And today's episode is a medley speaking to three key herbs to consider working with for this reason.While these snippets are not purely focused on contraception, they all speak to how these herbs work on multiple systems and in more than one way.Herbs are dynamic, and often have a handful or even dozens of relevant actions. Which is why matching plants to people is a practice. It's not just "this herb for that thing" but how and when and why and who. If you're curious to learn a little more about mugwort, wild carrot or motherwort, this episode is perfect for you.Resources:Get started tracking your cycle: Track Your Cycle (FAM) guideSign up for the Fall 2025 priority list here: Natural Contraception Fall 2025 waitlistEpisode 7: Wild carrot with Mischa SchulerEpisode 32: Motherwort loveEpisode 140: Mugwort herbal spotlightIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

In this episode of Sky House Herbs, I open up about the ways shock, grief, and trauma affect our hearts, minds, and bodies—especially in the wake of recent tragic events.

Is herbalism important postpartum? YES! Is the postpartum period sacred? YES!! Herbs have supported our grandmothers and our grandmothers' grandmothers throughout the ages during the tender and sacred time of the postpartum period. Herbs help the milk come, help the womb return, help the mother's heart stay steady and help the restoration of life force, blood and nutrients that a mother needs after growing a person inside her. This episode is very personal as I'm due to give birth on the day it's released. This photo is me with my daughter 3 years ago - the day after giving birth to her. This time out of time is precious, as it marks the return to the world for the mother who had to travel so far to give birth, and also the arrival in the world of the baby. It is a time when the mother needs epic amounts of support and nourishment, and who better to offer this than the plants who have walked beside us for aeons? This episode covers herbs and strategies to support the four pillars of postpartum thriving: rest, nourishment, soothing and healing. In this episode I give special mentions to Nettle, Motherwort, Lemon Balm and Ladies Mantle.

Click here to send me your Q's, comments, lovenotes, or a quick message here :) What comes up for you when you think of offering yourself gentleness?I think for many of us, we don't feel time for things like slowness, soothing, gentleness, tenderness, caretaking our own selves. We're often preoccupied with any number of other roles and responsibilities in life, and as women and folks with wombs, we've often been socialized to place ourselves at the bottom rung of importance.Even when we DO have time to tend to ourselves, we often choose distraction or stimulating activity over quiet self time that truly offers our own bodies, hearts, minds and spirits a form of gentleness.Many of us don't even believe we deserve that. It's just something we give, not something we receive. I want to shift the frame around all of this and turn the mirror onto you and invite you to explore what gentleness can look like and feel like in your own life. What herbs may be supportive for you to release tension in your tissues, or soften what feels hard, or soothe and calm your mood and mind?And what other practices are available to you that you could easily incorporate into your daily or weekly or monthly routine to help you soothe and tend yourself?In today's episode, I invite you to consider what a "gentleness practice" could look like and feel like for you -- and encourage you to make your own "gentleness in a bottle" tincture with some of the herbs that help to calm, soothe and nurture your unique needs.

Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles and is typically confirmed 12 months after your last period. During this time, The ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone, which can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, sleep issues, weight gain and more. While nutrition and lifestyle is huge for managing these symptoms, here are the supplements I recommend to support menopause changes. 1. Menopause Balance Tincture This specially formulated tincture is designed to alleviate common menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings. It contains: Black Cohosh: Known for its ability to reduce hot flashes and night sweats. Sage: Helps in managing excessive sweating. Holy Basil: Supports mood stability. Motherwort, Red Clover, Hops, Lemon Balm, Passionflower, Lavender, Valerian: A blend of herbs that support hormonal balance and reduce stress. 2. Adrenal Balance Tincture Menopause can alter how your body handles stress. The Adrenal Balance Tincture helps manage this by supporting your adrenal glands. Key ingredients include: Adaptogenic Herbs: Such as ashwagandha and rhodiola, which help the body adapt to stress. 3. Metabo Boost Tincture This tincture aids in blood sugar regulation, which is crucial during menopause as hormonal changes can affect how your body processes sugar. The tincture includes: Chromium and Berberine: To support healthy blood sugar levels. 4. Sleep Support Tincture Hormonal changes can disrupt sleep patterns. This tincture, containing herbs like hops, lemon balm, passionflower, valerian, and chamomile, can help improve sleep quality without relying on melatonin. 5. Grass-Fed Beef Liver Supplement Code: Drbeth Rich in iron and other vital nutrients, this supplement helps maintain overall nutrient levels, which can be challenging during menopause due to changes in nutrient absorption and utilization. 6. NutriDyn Inflam-Eze Plus Menopause often brings increased inflammation, leading to aches and pains. InflamEase, which includes ginger powder, curcumin, and boswellia, can help manage inflammation and improve joint health. 7. NutriDyn Immune Resilience Supporting your immune system is another big one in menopause. This supplement, with ingredients like American ginseng, turmeric, elderberry, EGCG, and quercetin, helps bolster your body's defenses and manage histamine responses. 8. Creatine and BCAAs Creatine Supplements: To support muscle strength and recovery. https://nutridyn.com/dynamic-performance-drink?ref=113022 Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs): To aid muscle recovery and reduce soreness after workouts. Taking BCAAs immediately after exercise can help your body rebuild muscle tissue more efficiently. https://nutridyn.com/dynamic-bcaa-drink?ref=113022 Menopause is a huge hormone transition, but the symptoms don't have to run your life! As with all supplements and medications, it is best to test your hormone levels to find the right combination for your individual needs.

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. Thomas is also the co-translator of a free e-book on the initial response to the Covid outbreak by the Chinese medicine community in China. He is the executive director of the East West School of Herbology and president of Herb Whisperer, Inc. which focuses on agriculture of medicinal plants and education. Thomas now resides in Western Massachusetts where he and his wife are building an herbal sanctuary and educational center.If you'd like to hear more from Thomas, which I highly recommend, then head to the show notes where you can get easy links for his website and social media channels.

In today's episode I interview Hollie Wildethorn, a Psychotherapist, Clinical Counsellor, Coach and womens mysteries facilitator, who resides on Walbunja Yuin land in the Hawkesbury Valley, North of Sydney. Hollie provides many inspirational offerings through her business, the Institute for Self Crafting, and her mission is to support people who know life can be so much more; to craft the best self-version so far. Hollie is the first person that I have interviewed that isnt a herbal educator, but she hold a special space for herbal education. She runs the incredible Wise Womens Gathering near Wise Mans Ferry, which is being held in just over 5 weeks, on the 16th-19th May. The Wise Women's Gathering is an educational conference that focuses on herbalism, holistic living, women's mysteries, and cultivating community. It provides a space for practitioners and non-practitioners alike to deepen their knowledge and connection with the earth. The gathering emphasizes inclusivity and creating a safe and welcoming environment for all attendees. The presence of herbs is a central theme, as it is a space for traditional wisdom to be shared and passed down. Mentorship and collaboration are also important aspects, with experienced practitioners partnering with younger or less experienced practitioners to co-create workshops. The gathering fosters a sense of community through shared meals, check-ins, and an open mic night where attendees can showcase their talents and be witnessed by their community. For anyone that hasn't heard of this unique gathering, I highly recommend jumping online and checking it out- there are links in the shownotes. Stephanie Hazel and I are both going down to Sydney for the gathering this year and we are running a 3 hour preconference presentation together. I am also running a 90 minute presentation about Motherwort and I also have the honour of being on a discussion panel at the gathering. I have attended this gathering once before, about 6 years ago and I highly reccomend it. In this interview, Hollie discusses her role in the Wise Women's Gathering and the various offerings she presents at the event. She emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and creating a sense of belonging for all attendees. Holly also shares her work as a therapist, counselor, and coach, specializing in trauma and anxiety. She offers retreats, circles, and online courses focused on women's empowerment and connection to the land. Additionally, Holly provides professional supervision for health practitioners and women's mysteries facilitators, promoting trauma-informed care and collaboration. She encourages practitioners to share their knowledge and wisdom beyond their individual practices.

Twiggy Dawn is a Mother, Herbalist, Permaculturalist, Educator and founder of the Elder Tree. Folks if you want to hear all about the vision for the Elder Tree from our founder, this episode is for you! Twiggy is passionate about growing, harvesting and making medicines and also has a keen interest in wil & naturalised medicines. She loves connecting people to the plants and also to their own ancestral roots. She has been entranced by plant medicine for as long as she can remember, forming an early interest in witchcraft and fairy lore and making potions from plant material as a child. She honours the plants as teachers with deep reverence and respect. During our chat, Twiggy shares how her experiences working with suboptimal herbal materials and feeling frustrated with offering only surface level herbal symptom relief to customers, inspired her to birth her business Alchemilla Herbals where she has really stepped into a teaching role through her many workshops which help to activate the home herbalist in participants. During a transformative experience at Pindara farm in Tasmania after the birth of her daughter where she helped grow, harvest and make herbal medicines, Twiggy shares how her dream for a space for healing and learning with plant medicine began to solidify into her vision for the Elder Tree. It's really lovely to hear Twiggy speak passionately of her vision for the Elder Tree and as this episode was recorded towards the beginning of our podcast journey, this vision is now beginning to become a reality… Chatting about self care, Twiggy shares the pillars of health that encapsulate what self care means to her and how it's really important for her to start her day mindfully, rather than jumping straight in… She speaks about balancing her time and allowing herself enough time in the outdoors amongst nature and her plant friends, engaging all her senses- smelling, tasting and listening to the plants. Twiggy takes us on a little journey amongst her plant friends, sharing how when she connects with a long term ally, Motherwort, all her senses are awakened… Towards the end of our chat, Twiggy shares some beautifully accessible ways for us to invite herbs into our daily rituals, using simple techniques and ingredients and finding ways to connect with the plant allies that grow around us… **CONNECT** Alchemilla Herbalshttps://www.alchemillaherbals.com.au/ ** Find out about Twiggy's new online course 'Meandering Medicine' to learn about herbs in a deep, gentle, explorative way here https://www.alchemillaherbals.com.au/meanderingmedicine Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alchemillaherbals/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/AlchemillaHerbals/ **SHOW NOTES** How do I use herbs in my daily life?

Dr. Eric Osansky discusses Hyperthyroidism with Dr. Ben Weitz. [If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, so more people will find The Rational Wellness Podcast. Also check out the video version on my WeitzChiro YouTube page.] Podcast Highlights 3:51 Hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's is a lot more common than hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism is when you have low thyroid levels and TSH or thyroid-stimulating hormone is elevated. With hyperthyroidism there's too much thyroid hormone and TSH will be low. With such patients you might see an elevated resting heart rate, heart palpitations, weight loss, hair loss, and thyroid eye disease that may include eye bulging and double vision. While the optimal TSH should be between one and 1.5 or 2, TSH below 1 and esp. at .5 or below is reason for concern for hyperthyroidism. For most patients with Grave's disease (Autoimmune hyperthyroidism) the TSH is undetectable. 7:54 Grave's Disease. Most patients with hyperthyroidism (at least 80%) have elevated thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI), which means that it is an autoimmune condition that is referred to as Grave's disease. 9:13 Medical treatment. The most common medical treatments for hyperthyroidism are the use of anti-thyroid medications including Methimazole or Carbimazole, which converts into Methimazole, and several other anti-thyroid medications, including Propylthiouracil. The other medical treatments are radioactive iodine, which obliterates the thyroid gland, and surgery to remove the thyroid gland. Some endocrinologists feel that the surgery is the way to fix the condition and that is their primary treatment for this condition. 11:25 From a Functional Medicine perspective, what happens is that the immune system is attacking the TSH receptors. There are four main categories of triggers for such autoimmune diseases that we can look at: 1. Food sensitivities, such as gluten, dairy, and corn, 2. Stress, 3. Toxins, including environmental toxins, heavy metals and mycotoxins from mold, and 4. Infections that includes viruses like Epstein-Barr, bacteria in the gut such as H. pylori, Yersinia Enterocolitica, and potentially even parasites. 14:02 Dr. Osansky was diagnosed with Grave's disease in 2008 and got it under control without the use of surgery, radiation, or medications. When Dr. Osansky sees a patient for hyperthyroidism, he takes a very thorough health history. Then he will run some lab tests, including a CBC, a comprehensive metabolic panel, vitamin D, iron panel, etc. Dr. Osansky also likes to look at adrenals, either through saliva or urine with the DUTCH test. He also likes to test hormones and run a comprehensive stool test and perhaps organic acid testing. He also likes to test hair minerals, including heavy metals. When Dr. Osansky was diagnosed with Grave's in 2008, he did salivary cortisol testing and found out that both his cortisol and DHEA levels were quite low most of the day. Grave's causes you to feel hyperactive, so he did not feel fatigued like patients normally do with adrenal fatigue. He worked on improving his ability to manage stress, changed his diet, and he took certain herbs, including liquorice root and certain nutrients, which helped his recovery. 20:49 Anti-thyroid nutritional strategies. While we are using the Functional Medicine approach to search for the underlying causes for their hyperthyroid condition, there are certain herbs and nutrients that can help to manage the excess thyroid hormone, including the herbs Bugleweed and Motherwort. Bugleweed is an herb with anti-thyroid properties, that helps to lower the thyroid hormone levels. Patients often get heart palpitations with hyperthyroidism and Motherwort is an herb that can help with that. It has been found to calm the heart, sort of like a natural beta blocker. Lemon balm can also have a calming effect.
Welcome back to The Herbalists Path! In today's episode, I'm opening up about the whirlwind of mom life and how I've been feeling disconnected from my beautiful plant friends. But I'm still crafting magical concoctions, and as wildflower season blooms here in Oregon, I've been reflecting on the incredible world of herbs. Each plant offers a unique healing power, and I'm excited to share some of my favorites with you.We'll explore calming Lavender, memory-enhancing Rosemary, and other magical plants. I'll also reveal my secrets for making tasty tinctures and discuss responsible herbalism with a shout out to United Plant Savers. If you're eager to dive into herbalism, workshops and courses are a fantastic way to connect with like-minded people and grow your knowledge.Lastly, I'll share personal insights on finding balance between my passion for making remedies and my family life. It's all about connecting with nature, spending time with family, and embracing the joy of herbalism. Whether you're hiking or crafting remedies, we're all in this together, nurturing our planet one plant at a time!

It's summa summa summa-time!Summer solstice is upon us and the heat is kicking in. Have you ever noticed how your body responds to the summer heat? For those of us with more fire physically and mentally, the heat can aggravate some of our symptoms or create new ones altogether. For others, the summer heat can be very balanced and welcome.

In this week's episode of ReInvent Healthcare, we are talking with Dr. Eric Osansky, a chiropractor, clinical nutritionist, and certified functional medicine practitioner with over 20 years of experience in health and wellness. He's the author of "Natural Treatment Solutions for Hyperthyroidism and Graves” and "Hashimoto's Triggers", as well as the host of the “Save My Thyroid Podcast”. We go in depth on his experience with hyperthyroid and Graves' disease and how he turned his life around and helps those who are experiencing the same thing. IN THIS EPISODE: [05:00] Percentage of the population with Hyperthyroid and Graves' [07:20] Thyroid Triggers [11:30] Thyroid Antibodies and Multiple Autoimmune Conditions [21:00] Herbs for Thyroid Management [35:10] L-Carnitine to Lower Thyroid Hormone Levels KEY TAKEAWAYS: There are a lot of people out there with hyperthyroidism. Unfortunately a lot of them end up getting their thyroid glands removed or ablated because they aren't aware of the options they have. Thyroid triggers vary from person to person, so there isn't a standard ‘protocol' for all patients. Proper testing is needed to appropriately assess your clients. For natural thyroid remedies there is Motherwort to help with the cardiovascular system and hyperthyroidism, Bugleweed for antithyroid that can help with palpitations, and Lemon Balm to help patients with sleep issues.

Bitter herbs beyond digestion?It's true. Almost everything we ever hear about bitters is about how they stimulate our appetite, encourage digestive juices to flow and enhance our bowel movement.Like, literally, that's what most people say, on repeat, every time they talk about bitters. But there is SO MUCH MORE to these herbs and foods than just supporting our digestive function (though that's obviously important too).Did you know there are "bitter taste receptors" outside of the digestive tract? Well there are. And they're everywhere... from your heart, your respiratory tract to your uterus.This awareness as only been really coming to light in recent years, but it explains a lot about why some herbs may have affinity for some organ systems.So in this episode I cover all of this and more, exploring the specific ways that bitters enhance our digestion and how many of those actually impact our hormonal health (for real!) as well as our emotional and mental health, too. Listen to this episode to learn:what the bitter taste is and how it works in the bodywhat bitters actually do to enhance your digestionwhy you may not have to taste bitters to achieve the medicinal effect you're seekingsome examples of my favorite bitters and which organ systems they have affinities forwhat to consider when adding bitters into your protocol from a constitutional and energetic perspectivewhy I wouldn't want to be without bitters when working on hormonal health challengesResources:Free dandelion recipe collection!Today's shownotes + all the nerdy references: Bitters + hormonal health?Episode 8: Spring tonic herbsEpisode 11: Herbal Spotlight on DandelionEpisode 30: 5 herbal pillars for hormonal healthEpisode 32: Motherwort love: An herbal ally for every season of your womb If you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.

This week we highlight lavender & motherwort!Lavandula angustifolia (and many other Lavandula species), a well-known scent to everyone, recognizable and soothing. Lavender relaxes and releases tension. It has a warmth to it, which is more noticeable the more you take or the longer you take it. The flowers are the part that are most popular and available, but we also love to work with lavender leaf! It's more astringent and less “floral” than the flowers are, and makes a lovely tea.Leonurus cardiaca is a lion-hearted plant with strong protection for its “babies”, the seeds. Motherwort soothes the human heart and releases tension, draining excess heat. It can also relax the pelvic organs, and because of this, help bring on menstrual flow that is restricted by tension. Despite warnings you may see, motherwort is quite safe even for a pregnant human, at the common dose strengths of Western/American herbal practice.Lavender & motherwort both feature prominently in our Neurological & Emotional Health course. This course is a user's guide to your nerves & your emotions – including the difficult and dark ones. We discuss holistic herbalism strategies for addressing both neurological & psychological health issues. It includes a lengthy discussion of herbal pain management strategies, too!
