Summer Savory: Traditionally, it was understood as a warming, drying aromatic — the herb you reached for after a heavy meal, or through a damp, rattly cough with a spoonful of honey. That is tradition, not treatment: savory is a food-grade aromatic with a very long memory. #herbalism #savory #herbgarden #folklore #herbalist #herbs #foodhistory #growyourown #heartofherbs

Sage: The Herb That Saves. From medieval gardens to your spice rack, this mint-family plant has a long history. Sore throats, digestion, memory, and more. Which herb should we feature next? #sage #herbalism #herbalist #gardens #herbs #learning

When was the last time a client texted you at 11 p.m. with something that wasn't an emergency, and you answered anyway?

In this episode, Demetria Clark, founder of Heart of Herbs Herbal School and Birth Arts International, gets honest about the thing that quietly closes more practices than lack of skill ever does: giving too much away. In under ten minutes, you'll get the three boundaries every practitioner needs, the four-step pricing math nobody taught you, why "but I'm new" is costing you clients, how to run a sliding scale that doesn't sink you, and a simple three-part script for saying no without the apology tour.

For herbalists, aromatherapists, doulas, postpartum doulas, and childbirth educators who want to still be doing this work in ten years.

The companion guide and worksheet are available to enrolled students. General business guidance only, not legal, tax, or financial advice.

The 3 most-searched herbs of 2026? Herbalists have been keeping their stories for thousands of years. 🌿✨

🐴 Ashwagandha — literally "smell of a horse" in Sanskrit. The root really does smell a bit barnyard, but tradition promised it would give you the strength of a stallion. (Also: it's a nightshade. Cousin to your tomatoes. You're welcome for that fact.)

💛 Turmeric — 4,000 years of Ayurvedic tradition, the dye behind golden monks' robes, and the star of the haldi wedding ceremony. Grandma's golden milk was the original delivery system.

👤 Ginseng — the "man root" that looks like a tiny person, revered in Chinese medicine for 2,000+ years. Fun fact: Daniel Boone was a ginseng trader. Yes, THAT Daniel Boone. And please — choose cultivated, never wild. This beauty is on the United Plant Savers at-risk list. 🌱

The algorithm just discovered them. We remember them. That's what herbalists do. 💚 www.heartofherbs.com

A question I am often asked is, "What do you sleep on?"
They breathe well, manage sweat, regulate temperature, and treat your skin kindly—which is a hard combination for most synthetics to match.

Welcome to the Heart of Herbs Herbal School podcast. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Steven from Mountain Rose Herbs to explore the journey of an herb — from cultivation to your hands. We talk about the meticulous processes that safeguard potency, the quality control practices that ensure purity, and the ethical commitments that keep their supply chain honest and transparent. This is a grounded, thoughtful look at what it means to honor the plants and the people who grow them.

Join us as we reconnect with Alumni Amelia South and learn more about what she is offering and how her practice has evolved since season 1.
