We took a trip to beautiful Vermont this summer where we met up with one of our dear friends, Helen Ward. She and her family hosted us at their gorgeous property "Three Springs Farm".

In this episode Helen shares with us the roles she has at Rosemary Gladstar's Science and Art of Herbalism, dives deep into the behind the scenes, how it has transformed over the years, and why this course has impacted so many lives to this day.

She also tells us about her recent journey with elderberry, why we all need community with plants and people, life lessons she has learned from Rosemary and so much more.

Grab a cup of tea and enjoy my incredible chat with the one and only Helen Ward.

Enjoy,

~Mason

We visited Rosemary Gladstar in Vermont in July 2024 and created this mini-documentary with her.

MINI-DOC | GLADSTAR: Becoming Nature's Reflection

Climb into a comfy chair and sit down with the Fairy Godmother of Herbalism, soak in all her beautiful words of wisdom, and be enlightened by her life lessons, how to communicate with plants, and bring out the wildness that lives in our deepest cellular core.

Rosemary Gladstar invites us to her beautiful home on Lake Champlain, Vermont, and walks us through her day-to-day rituals, how she greets every morning, and gives thanks when it's time to drift into slumber, dreaming about the magical plants.

Destined to be a plant lover, Rosemary shares some early childhood memories, what got her on the path of herbalism, and expresses her life's mission.

We live in a pretty tamed world today, and if you are someone who wishes to spend more quality time outside with Mother Nature, with your community, and wildlife, then you found yourself a real heartfelt gem.

We can't thank Rosemary enough for the beautiful visit and taking the time to sit with us and allow us to see a glimpse into her lovely home, sharing some tasty meals, and showering us with so much love and compassion.

In this episode of The Herbalist Hour I'm joined once again by KP Khalsa.

We chat about what the general public needs to know about herbal medicine, some lesser known herbs that really deliver, less understood tips for success with herbal medicine for professionals and clients and a lot more.

This is KP's second time on the show, so it was great to have him back on. I always learn a ton when we get to chat it up. Hope you enjoy the show as much as I did.

A huge thanks to KP for joining me and thanks to you, dear listener, for tuning in.

See you in the next episode,

EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Fires are most devastating where they occur, but the smoke and particulates they release into the air affects vast areas of space. So it's good for all of us to be aware of the problem and have practical solutions to protect ourselves.

In addition to practical DIY methods for improving air quality in the home, herbs can be very helpful. Some of the herbal actions & specific herbs discussed in this episode include:

• gentle herbs for steaming – chamomile, lavender, mint
• demulcent herbs to protect mucous membranes and maintain hydration – marshmallow, mullein, linden, violet, fennel, licorice, pleurisy root, purslane, okra
• expectorants to get mucous out of the lungs – mullein, horehound, hyssop, elecampane
• respiratory relaxants for tense lungs & constricted airways – fennel, mullein, lobelia
• nervine herbs to cope with the stress of fires – lobelia, blue vervain, linden, hawthorn, goldenrod
• adaptogens for long-term stress resilience – codonopsis, jiaogulan, goji, reishi

Whether you're in a fire path or affected by the drifting smoke & particulates already, or worried this is on the horizon, these herbs can help. But they'll only be helpful if you have them on hand, prepared & ready to go – and know how to work with them! – when you need them. So planning, preparing, and learning ahead of time is critical.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Flooding causes great devastation, and it also brings many risks. Foremost among these are isues of pathogenic load: mold, bacteria, and other pathogens spread through flood waters. Minor wounds can easily get infected, breathing in the spores of mold can make one sick, and it's difficult to avoid introducing germs to the digestive system in these conditions.

Herbs can help. Antimicrobial herbs can be taken to protect against infection or fight off infection in all these areas of the body. Knowing the right method for applying or ingesting your herbs is critical to success here. Sometimes an herbal steam you inhale is much more important than herbs you eat or drink.

Herbs discussed include: garlic, "mighty mints" (thyme, oregano, sage, monarda), "gentler mints" (peppermint, lavender), eucalyptus, aromatic evergreens (pine, spruce, juniper), yerba santa, elecampane, berberines (barberry, oregon grape, algerita, goldenseal), propolis, myrrh, chaparral, purple loosestrife, usnea, echinacea, prickly ash, spilanthes, turmeric, henna, black walnut, clove, cinnamon, cardamom, calendula.

During my Herbalist Hour interview with Michael "Skeeter" Pilarski we had a nice chat about Balsamorhiza sagittata, aka arrowleaf balsamroot.

I really enjoyed hearing Skeeter teach about this plant as I am personally quite fond of it.

If you already know it, I hope you learn something new! And if it's a new plant for you, I encourage you to learn even more about this wonderful species.
