Take A Journey Down The Herbalist's Path of Missy Rohs, a Radical Herbalist and The Co-Owner of The Arctos School of Herbal & Botanical Studies

43 minutes

Welcome to our first episode of The Herbalist’s Path where we’re on a mission to inspire a movement where there’s an herbalist in every home, again!

In today’s episode we have a chat with Missy Rohs, herbalist, activist, teacher, and Cofounder of The Arctos School of Botanical of Herbal & Botanicals Studies. We take a deep dive into her Herbalist’s Path where she first got introduced to herbalism through reading Punk Scenes. She joined the Black Cross Health Collective where she first started learning about how to administer first aid in activism situations. She found that she was surrounded by a group of ER nurses, massage therapists, herbalists, nurse practitioners and other health care practitioners, and she needed to learn more about health. She began taking some classes from some of the other Black Cross Health Collective members such as Colette Gardiner, and Krista Olson.

A bit later a new partner got her interested in gardening and took her on weekly hikes. She learned about how you can walk down a path in the forest, and get to know the plants, and how to use them. These plants quickly became her friends!

She later took the leap to learn more and went down south to learn from Michael Moore and Donna Chesner.

She talks about how you become an herbalist when You use plants for their medicinal properties. Even if it means you’re just using ginger when you’re sick, or peppermint for an upset stomach.

Lately she’s been loving listening to Julie James of Green Wisdom Herbal Studies, and her Monday morning classes that are available live on Facebook, 9 am PST. One of my teachers Lydia Barthalow, and now at her own school Arctos School of Botanical Studies, she has been able to add her own guest teachers to the list.

Her first tincture she ever made was an echinacea tincture she made in college. Garth Caul taught a class on how to make a tincture with fresh echinacea tincture, and she was lucky enough to be in the dorm where the tincture was steeping. She ended up with a ½ gal
