  • Show 15: An Interview with Howie Brounstein

    The field of herbalism has changed considerably over the past thirty years. Once, aspiring herbalists had few mentors and essentially had to create the path into the herbal lifestyle on their own. Those hardy souls have become the teachers and guides modern herbalists have to thank for reclaiming herbalism as a real medicine for the people. Today, we’re talking with one of herbalism’s elders, Howie Brounstein, co-owner and primary instructor of Columbines School of Botanical Studies, about his path into herbalism and the changes he’s seen.
