As a licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and a cherished member of our online herbal mentorship, Apothecary Momma, Terri shared her perspective on the lack of support for women in recovery. We explored generational trauma, societal expectations, harsh judgment, and the intensified guilt and shame faced by pregnant women with substance use or mental health issues.

Terri passionately believes in the healing potential of herbs and envisions them as a revolution in recovery, prenatal care and family care.  We also explored Terri's personal journey into herbalism, starting with health challenges leading to a hysterectomy to the transformative experience of her grandson moving in. Her study of herbs improved their well-being, and her grandson now actively participates in choosing and incorporating them into their routine.

She emphasized the importance of reclaiming ancestral knowledge lost due to societal changes and misinformation. Terri's dedication to healing others and integration of herbal medicine left a lasting impact. Our conversation deepened my admiration for her and shed light on the profound trauma experienced by many women, highlighting the need for a holistic approach to support.

This heartfelt conversation with Terri provides valuable insights and personal stories, showcasing the power of herbalism. I encourage you to tune in and share this episode with other moms who may find inspiration in Terri's journey.

I'm thrilled to have you here as we explore the wonders of herbal medicine. As I prepare to reopen Apothecary Momma, I've been reflecting on how herbalism has positively impacted my life, family, and overall well-being.

Let's talk about the magic of herbs. They always seem to appear just when we need them most, like little superheroes with their healing powers. It's not some mystical belief; I've witnessed this phenomenon countless times on my herbal medicine journey. From lungwort curing my bronchitis to chamomile calming my daughter's nerves, plants possess an innate wisdom that leaves me in awe.

Herbal medicine empowers us to take control of our well-being and navigate a flawed and corrupt healthcare system. It's about knowing when to turn to conventional medicine and when to rely on natural remedies. I want all moms to experience this profound sense of empowerment.

Passing down herbal knowledge to our children is incredibly rewarding. When my daughter confidently identifies plants for ailments or asks for specific remedies, it fills me with joy. By teaching them ancestral wisdom, we set them up for a lifetime of holistic well-being and equip them to thrive in a world where healthcare systems often fail us. Herbal medicine is not only empowering but also sustainable. By embracing natural remedies, we reduce our reliance on harmful pharmaceuticals, benefiting both our bodies and the environment. It's a small yet significant step towards a healthier future for our children and the Earth.

Join me on this magical journey through Apothecary Momma, an online herbal mentorship program designed for moms like us. Together, we'll delve into the world of herbal medicine, learn about the power of plants, and create a supportive community. Let's help herbalism #spreadlikewildflowers and ensure that every family has the tools to thrive naturally.

In this episode of The Herbalist's Path, I interview Dr. Piper Gibson, a specialist helping children with neurological disorders. Dr. Gibson shares her journey and insights into the connection between food, gut health, and neurological well-being.

Dr. Gibson's mission began when her son was diagnosed with a neurological tic. She explored alternative approaches and now empowers parents to make significant changes in their children's lives. Emphasizing the importance of real, whole foods, she advises avoiding processed temptations.

Gut health plays a crucial role in neurological disorders, and Dr. Gibson highlights the significance of high-quality protein sources for healing. She suggests food sensitivity testing and seeking holistic practitioners for personalized interventions.

Addressing misconceptions, Dr. Gibson emphasizes a comprehensive approach, considering gut health, inflammation, and genetics. Trusting intuition and questioning medical advice is vital for chronic conditions.

Parents navigating their child's chronic illness often experience overwhelming emotions. Dr. Gibson stresses the need to address guilt, shame, and grief, offering insights on mental and emotional support.

While supplements and herbs can aid healing, a healthy diet is essential. Dr. Gibson recommends essential fatty acids and herbal approaches like cannabis, berberine, oregano oil, cinnamon bark, and ginger.

Regenerating Health supports children with chronic illnesses through a holistic approach. Dr. Gibson's line of supplements, including Cannab Calm, Omega Calm, and D Calm, promotes overall well-being and reduces inflammation.

Hey there mommas! Are you ready to learn some cool first aid tips for your little ones during this summer season? Well, I've got some great news for you because in this podcast episode, I'm going to share some valuable money-saving tips along with three awesome herbs that can come in handy in various first aid situations.

First up, we have plantain - and no, I'm not talking about the starchy banana-like thingy! This plantain is a herb that can provide short-term relief from bee stings, cuts, and splinters. It can also help with respiratory infections, sunburns, and burns. But wait, it gets even cooler - its leaves can also be used as cool band-aids! Kids will love it!

Next on our list is comfrey - the herb that's loaded with allantoin, a magical medicinal constituent that can regenerate skin cells. Comfrey is perfect for healing and repairing damaged tissue from cuts and scrapes, as well as sprains, strains, and broken bones. But hold on tight, my friends, comfrey should not be used internally by those with liver health issues. Safety first, peeps!

Last but not least, we have yarrow - a herb that's easy to grow in your garden or even found in the wild. Yarrow can be used for bleeding wounds, help fight off infection, and aid in wound healing. So basically, it's like having a little superhero in your herb garden!

Oh, and did I mention that I'll also be sharing some fun tips for parents to teach their children about first aid and how to identify different plants? Yes, I did! These tips and herbs can be super helpful in ensuring the safety and health of your little ones during the summer months. So go ahead, give this podcast a listen, and let's have some fun while learning!

Hey there, herb lovers! In this episode I’m stoked to have Andrea Shuman, a badass herbalist and wellness expert, joining me!

Andrea takes us on a journey into her world of herbal medicine, sharing her passion for natural healing alternatives and how her mother's experience with psychiatric medication withdrawal inspired her to take a different path. She encourages people to take control of their own health & well-being, and emphasizes the importance of having access to resources for self-empowerment.

We love Andrea's holistic approach to healing, which incorporates both eastern and western medicine. In this episode, she delves into the differences between Ayurvedic and western medicine, and how herbs are used in Ayurveda to heal the mind, body, and spirit.

But the fun doesn't stop there! Andrea also spills the tea on her latest venture, MycroDrops, which is gaining popularity in the herbal world. Trust us, you won't want to miss out on this exciting new herbal journey. (use code THP10 for $10 off her site)

At the heart of this episode is the message that we all have the power to make our own choices about our health and well-being. Andrea inspires us to form collaborative relationships with doctors and practitioners, and reminds us that natural healing alternatives can be just as effective (if not more so) than traditional medication.

So kick back, relax, and tune in to this empowering episode of The Herbalists Path Podcast. We promise you'll come away feeling inspired and ready to take control of your own health journey!

Hey there, Mommas! Welcome to another episode of The Herbalist's Path! Today, we're talking all things chamomile. This herb is a total powerhouse and can be used in so many different ways besides just for calming the nervous system. Did you know that chamomile is great for digestive health and anxiety? It can ease stomach cramping, bloating, and even diarrhea. Chamomile is also an astringent and diaphoretic, which means it helps your body release heat through your pores and sweat. Plus, it's perfect for reducing smooth muscle spasming and cramping in your tummy. Chamomile can even be used for eye infections! Just whip up a fresh batch of chamomile tea, add some goldenseal and fennel, and gently wash over the eye with a compress a few times a day. So, grow it in your garden and start sipping on some tea, because chamomile is going to change your life, my friend!

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.
