In this episode of The Herbalist's Path, Mel interviews Sonya Yamaguchi, an herbalist and author, about her journey with plants and herbalism.

Sonya talks about the importance of plants and herbs in her life, and how they provide her with a sense of support and nourishment, both physically and spiritually. 

She shares her experience of learning about herbalism through hands-on experience with plants and through online courses, and talks about her book, 'Plant Medicine Stories; Super Noni and Friends,' which includes recipes and a curriculum for children.

Sonya's one piece of advice for new moms looking to use plant medicine with their families is to start small and just get started.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Maria Noël Groves in this episode. She's a clinical herbalist and an excellent author. Maria talks about her passion for herbal medicine and how she transitioned from a career in journalism to herbalism. She emphasizes the importance of getting to know each plant individually and building a relationship with them.

Maria shares her top three favorite herbs, Lemon Balm, Tulsi, and Korean Licorice Mint, and also discusses her books and classes on her website. Her approach to herbalism empowers individuals to take control of their own health and wellbeing by connecting with the natural world and its healing powers.

Spring is so here, which means it's time to do a bit of spring cleaning, not  only in our homes, but in heling our bodies to detoxify after a winter of heavy foods, sweets, and for many, illness.

The good news is, there's plants for that! In  fact, many of the best herbs to help your body to filter and purify all the yuck from your body, are commonly called weeds!  Which means they're super abundant too!

In this episode I share a bit about Burdock root, Dandelion, and Cleavers too.

Greta grew up as a 3rd generation environmental activist, learning the basics of homesteading and plant medicine from her parents and grandparents.

Her story is truly of the wild wild west, and it's wonderful how she's been able to continue her work in healing the planet, and people with plant medicine and beyond.
She's one of the more brilliant herbalists in the world of herbal first and and beyond.
It's an honor to have her on the show, and as a teacher inside Apothecary Momma in May.

She's been hard at work building out Michael Moore's Southwest School Of Botanical Medicine website, and so much more.

Greta is fascinating, so is her story, you'll hear in this episode. You can learn more about her here too.

It can be so hard to use more herbs and natural remedies in your home, when the people you live with, just won't get on board with it all.

Maybe they're just so use to the western medical system and can't fathom doing anything else, despite how broken the system is.

Or, maybe they think it's hippie dippy woo-woo stuff, and just aren't about it.

And then another huge one for so many mommas, is when the kids won't take any of it because it's straight yucky!

If you've ever had to deal with any of that, or still do, you are not alone!

And, you may want to join me in my upcoming class. In it, I'm going to teach you
