In this episode of Herbalists After Hours, we are settled inside Bloodroot Herb Shop in Ypsilanti, Michigan for a conversation with herbalist Alex Crofoot that moves from ancestral midwives in Appalachia to mutual aid in the streets of Michigan.

We wander through burnout and obsession, pelvic floor care and pole dancing, the intensity of herbal first at Rainbow Gatherings with 7Song, and the tender question of how to build spaces where plants, and people, belong together.

It's thoughtful, heart-centered, and rooted in experience.

Alex Crofoot is a Michigan-based clinical herbalist, birth doula, and founder of Bloodroot Herb Shop. She formulates and crafts her own botanical medicines and specializes in reproductive health, hormone balance, and community-centered care shaped by lineage, activism, and deep relationship with the plants.
