#38 How Plants Affect the Brain, Focus & Wellbeing


Listen Later

In this deeply grounding episode of The You & You Podcast, host Sanjiv Sangha is joined by herbal medicine specialist Victoria Edwards for a powerful conversation about healing, nature and remembering our connection to the natural world.


Victoria shares her journey from foraging with her grandparents as a child to studying herbal medicine in London and working with patients who feel unheard by conventional healthcare systems. Together, they explore adaptogenic herbs, the intelligence of plants and why herbal medicine focuses on treating the whole person, not just the disease.

From five-flavour medicinal teas used by athletes and students, to heart-supporting hawthorn, marigold’s wartime healing properties, ethical herbalism and the emotional space required to truly support healing, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen and reconnect with nature.

You’ll also hear why modern life disconnects us from the earth, how science and herbal wisdom can work together and a beautiful ritual anyone can try to bring more presence and calm into their day.
