The Herbalist's Path

Staying Regulated in a Dysregulated World: Nervous System Herbs for Challenging Times


Listen Later

The world feels heavy right now. Many of us are moving through stress, grief, anger, and exhaustion while trying to stay grounded in our lives and communities.

In this co-hosted episode of The Herbalist’s Path, Mel and Brittany talk honestly about what it looks like to stay regulated during hard times. They explore nervous system support through herbs, foundational practices, and self-awareness — without bypassing what’s happening in the world.

In this episode, we cover:

• Navigating stress & overwhelm
• Why this stress isn’t new for BIPOC communities & why context matters
• Nervines for immediate nervous system support
• Heart-centered herbs for grief 
• Milky oats for depleted nervous systems
• Adaptogens for long-term resilience & when to use them
• Foundational practices no tincture can replace
• Herbalist burnout and practicing what you preach
• Joy, laughter, and community care — including caring for yourself

This grounded conversation between two clinical herbalists focuses on resilience, capacity, and caring for yourself so you can keep showing up with integrity and clarity.
