  • EP 62 - How Herbs Can Transform Your Health with Amber Valenzuela of Traditional Medicinals
    How herbs can transform your health: Amber Valenzuela, Herbalist How did they deal with disease thousands of years ago, before conventional medicine and antibiotics? The answer was in the ground. They were masters of using plants and food as their remedies. And the pharmaceuticals we have now are often derived from those medicinal plants - like garlic, onions, turmeric, thyme and so many more. The use of spices and herbs with antimicrobial activity was necessary to ward off the threat of food-borne pathogens. The only problem is, people tend to turn to a pharmaceutical when they can get a natural answer from their own spice cabinet. My guest today is Amber Valenzuela, a certified California Naturalist through UC Berkeley and Staff Herbalist at Traditional Medicinals specializing in the practical application of Western Herbalism in your everyday life. You'll learn how to use herbs in an effective way to help with sleep, stress, digestion and boosting immunity. This is one you won't want to miss!
