How to Read Any Herb Without Looking It Up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your tongue can tell you more about an herb than you might think. In this episode, I explore one of the most useful skills in herbalism: learning to listen to the language of taste. The five flavors—bitter, sweet, pungent, salty, and sour—each have so much information to offer about a plant’s qualities and actions in your body, giving you a practical way to understand herbs (instead of trying to memorize endless lists of which herbs are “good for” which conditions). I’ll guide you through these
Arnica with Michael Skeeter Pilarski + Arnica Liniment recipe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been on my mind to have Michael Pilarski on the show for quite a while now, so when he dropped by the other day to see my garden, it seemed like the perfect time to invite him to be here. I loved talking with Michael about his experience of both wildcrafting and farming, and his perspective about the benefits and drawbacks of both of those ways of working with the land. And it was so much fun chatting with him about our love for herbal gatherings! Michael also shared some fantastic tips on
Poke for Lymph, Skin, and Immunity, Plus How to Eat It—with AC and Isaac Hill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pokeweed is poisonous—but that’s not the whole story. What if knowing how to work with this potent plant could turn fear into respect, and even put a delicious wild green on your dinner table? As many of us learned growing up, poke ( Phytolacca americana ) is a plant that deserves a healthy amount of caution. It is poisonous, after all! But AC and Isaac Hill have spent years learning how to work with poke as food, medicine, and more, and they joined me in this episode to dispel some of the fear
Butterfly Pea for Mood, Hot Flashes, and Skin with Farmer Cee (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Butterfly pea is beautiful enough to steal the show—but what if its real magic has nothing to do with its color? In this episode, I’m joined by Clarenda Stanley (aka Farmer Cee), who completely changed the way I think about butterfly pea flower ( Clitoria ternatea ). I’ll admit that before this conversation, I mostly thought of butterfly pea as the plant that turns your tea an incredible cobalt blue. But Cee makes a compelling case for looking beyond the color. She shares why she loves butterfly
Bee Balm for Fevers, Burns, and Nerve Pain with Ashley Elenbaas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s something almost impossible to ignore about bee balm ( Monarda spp. ). Its flowers burst open like fireworks, its aroma is unmistakably spicy, and when you taste it, you can feel its warmth almost immediately. But this is where bee balm gets especially interesting: despite its intense hotness, it can be an excellent herb for actually dispersing heat. In this episode, Ashley Elenbaas and I explore this beautiful contradiction and the many ways it shows up in bee balm’s medicine. We talk a
