52. Tonic Herbs and Plantain

The Family Herbalism Podcast ·

2023/09/18

We’re turning the tables here! Instead of focusing on a health problem, I decided to take a deep dive on a specific herbal action that supports everyone’s health - tonics! SO many herbs have a tonifying effect on the body, some systemically, and some on specific tissues or organs. But what exactly does a tonic do? It’s one of those words that seem a bit abstract in the plant world. Today I share with you what it means, how a few well-known herbalists describe them, and then I share 42 of my favorite

50. My Shingles Story

The Family Herbalism Podcast ·

2023/09/04

Shingles is a viral infection that can effect anyone who has the varicella zoster lying dormant in their body. We used to think of it as being a disease of the elderly, but statistics show it is happening to more and more people under the age of 50. The two most common triggers are a deficient immune system and stress. Today I share with you, as an almost 37 year old, what shingles was like for me, and the lifestyle changes and herbs I have worked with to recover. Herbs mentioned include St. John’s

2023/08/28

Fiery kids often receive a diagnosis of ADD or ADHD, and while some of these kids do need support with nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, or toxin overloads, many of them are simply misunderstood and don’t fit into the neat little boxes our society has created. We can support these kiddos with the foods and herbs included in this podcast, including these herbs: skullcap, oats, wood betony, hawthorn, St. John’s Wort, peppermint or spearmint, tulsi, lemon balm, linden, valerian, peach,

45. Eczema, Psoriasis, and Burdock

The Family Herbalism Podcast ·

2023/07/24

No one knows for sure what causes, eczema or psoriasis, but what we do know is that the current standard treatment does not effectively correct it. We do know that eczema and psoriasis, while different skin conditions, are impacted by the same tissue states in the body, and by the same herbal remedies. In today’s episode, I answer a listeners question about what to do to address her children’s eczema flares. And since eczema and psoriasis behave so similarly, it only made sense to create an episode

The Family Herbalism Podcast ·

2023/07/03

Adrenal fatigue is a hot topic. Some would even suggest it’s not a real thing. I can tell you that is IS real, and it doesn’t occur by itself. Integral to healthy adrenal glands are also a healthy autonomic nerve function, and hypothalamus and pituitary function. If a person is stuck in a sympathetic nervous state, any illness or injury they incur is more likely to become chronic. For many people, addressing their stress is the first, most important step to healing. In today’s episode, I share how

You asked and I delivered! Through a recent Instagram story, I received two requests for remedies for strep throat, and one for influenza.

2023/06/05

Let’s rock the boat a bit! As an herbalist, I NEVER tell a client they should stop taking their medications. I don’t even suggest it. However, reducing or eliminating medication is a natural topic of interest for people who are improving their health, possibly to the point that the medication isn’t necessary anymore. Alongside their doctors, I have helped many clients reduce and eliminate their medications by helping them to reduce the need for them. In today’s episode, I go over the seven steps of
