The topic of this podcast episode is Lemon Balm, also known as Melissa officinalis. We discuss its medicinal qualities, explore the top 3 reasons I work with it, and finally, we cover lesser-known uses of lemon balm.

There’s quite a bit of info covered, and I’m sure it will inspire you to grow and harvest your own lemon balm this year. Enjoy!

This episode is all about how to build a home apothecary. There’s been a lot of interest in this topic and I can understand why.

An increasing number of people are ready to become more self-sufficient, and one way to do this is by keeping natural remedies in our homes for personal use. We will discuss advantages and disadvantages, things to consider, storage, shelf life, and many tips and tricks.

This episode isn’t necessarily geared towards herbalism, but it is the part of my story that brought me to herbalism and opened my eyes to the healing powers of nature.

Yarrow is a great option for healing wounds and other integumentary issues. This episode focuses entirely on the topical healing properties of yarrow.

Besides, if we were to discuss all the medicinal uses, it would be a super long episode! So just know yarrow offers many benefits to other body systems.

Yarrow is just one example of many herbs that are awesome for wounds, and you might even already have a favorite herb for wound care. But hopefully, after listening today, you will have a new appreciation for this plant.

This episode is about the misunderstood dandelion. We discuss its culinary uses and, of course, its medicinal gifts. After listening, be prepared to look at dandelions in a different light. 😉

I wrote a post on this awhile back, but I have added quite a bit to this podcast episode that is not in that article 😎

Within the episode, I mention that the monograph and photos are located here:
