In this episode, I’m joined by Jane Christensen, a Master Herbalist and the CEO of Barlow Herbal Specialities. Jane shares the familial and intentional process of creating Barlow Herbal Specialities and the importance of trusting your body’s ability to heal. 

Jane was first introduced to herbal medicine through her dad, the founder of Barlow Herbals. Jane's dad was a master botanist, who shared his love of herbalism and the plant world with his family.  Jane shares how the depth of knowledge and research mixed with inspiration from her dad was how Barow Herbal was born. 

Jane explains the importance of herbs as a primary healing agency as a way to physically and emotionally detox. Jane illustrates the cultivation and powerful properties of herbs specific to Barlow Herbal including Lomatium, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial herb, and a Mushroom Power Blend containing reishi, chaga, shiitake, maitake, and turkey tail mushroom extracts. Plus, we discuss the relationship between plants and the body’s capacity to heal and how herbs can teach us to trust our intuition.  

Listen in to learn more about the power of herbs as a healing agent and how they can be integrated into daily life for health, wellness, and vitality.
