Trendy Herbs We Don’t Actually Use in Clinical Practice

(Maca, Milk Thistle & More)

In this episode of Herbalism Uncensored, Alicia and Lila share their perspectives on popular herbs they rarely use in clinical practice. From maca to kratom, they explore why some of the internet’s most hyped remedies often don’t make the cut in real-world client care.

🌿 In This Episode:
  • Why trendy doesn’t equal effective

  • How clinical outcomes, access, and cost shape real herbal decision-making

  • A grounded look at maca, black seed oil, milk thistle, kratom, tulsi, and others

  • The real risks of gas station herbs

  • How social media warps our view of herbalism

    With personal stories and practical insight, Alicia and Lila offer a clear-eyed, clinical take on what herbs actually earn their place in a practitioner’s toolkit.
