Milky Oats, or Milky Oatseed, is the quintessential "crispy critter medicine, " per the late herbal wizard Michael Moore. Milky Oats are a cooling, moistening, and deeply restorative medicine. Think of a cool and replenishing blanket that you can wrap around your nervous system, and you will get an idea of the deep healing potential of this plant medicine. In this video, we will talk about the historical uses, energetics, and different ways to incorporate Milky Oats into your daily routine. I have found this medicine is great for most people, and after this video, you will see why!

How do we bring herbalism to the streets? In this conversation with the Seed Sistas, Fiona and Kaz, we discuss their journey into community herbalism and the plants that inspire their work in the UK. From dosing parties with herbs to starting community herb gardens, these two women are changing the world around them and inspiring all generations to love plants. We will also talk about their latest book, "Poison Prescriptions" and the importance of bringing the power of poisons back into the herbal landscape and how "flying ointment" can be used to rekindle our sensuality and sexuality as women.

While many herbalists rely on alcohol-based tinctures for supporting health and wellness, these are not the only options for taking plant medicine. In this video, we will discuss what a tincture is, why they are often used, and some excellent alternatives for people who want an alcohol-free herbal experience. We will also cover the benefits of brewing herbal teas, using herbal glycerites, and even herbal vinegars for health and wellness.

Mary Oliver Poem mentioned

Wild Geese

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting — over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

How do we work with the liminal spaces within the body and in the mind? Madonna Lily or Easter Lily is a wonderful plant medicine for cleansing the organs of creativity and building a container for those creative impulses. As a moon medicine, Madonna Lily also physically cleanses the reproductive organs through mucilage which is cooling and moistening. In this video, we will look more closely at the historical uses of this plant, clinical stories from my life and practice, and how you can benefit from using Madonna Lily in your life.
