3 Surprising Herbs for Stress
When people think about herbs for stress, they often reach for the usual recommendations. But some of the most supportive herbs aren't always the most obvious.Here, I share three surprising herbs that I frequently think about for different types of stress and nervous system support.► Milky oats for deep depletion and nervous system nourishment► Lavender for anxiety and acute stress support► Reishi for chronic, long-term stress and resilienceI also share an important lesson I've learned after many years of working with herbs: while herbs can be incredible allies, lasting resilience comes from understanding your unique constitution and changing your relationship to stress itself.That's exactly why Rebecca Altman and I created the Building Resilience Course, which combines herbs, self-awareness, and practical tools for building resilience from the inside out.Learn more and join here.

Nettle as a Restorative Herb for Minerals, Vitality, and Long-Term Healing with Juliet Howard
What can an old fairy tale teach us about one of herbalism’s most trusted plants?In this episode, herbalist and storyteller Juliet Howard shares one of my favorite stories, "The Wild Swans," an old tale in which stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) plays a central role in healing, devotion, and liberation. From there, our conversation unfolds into a rich exploration of nettle’s gifts—from its nourishing minerals and restorative qualities to its role as a fiber plant, natural dye, and lifelong herbal companion.Through story, personal experience, and practical herbal wisdom, Juliet reveals why stinging nettle remains such a treasured herbal ally. Along the way, she offers a thoughtful reminder that some of the most meaningful healing happens slowly, through relationship, consistency, and practice.Juliet also shares her Heavy Nettle Daily Tonic, combining nettle with a few beloved herbal allies to make a deeply nourishing infusion. You can download your beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you’ll know:► Why stinging nettle is a gateway herb for so many herbalists► How nettle is able to break real-life “enchantments” and help bring you back into yourself► Why nettle works best as a long-term herbal ally► A simple daily practice that can transform your relationship with this common weed► What it means to think of plants as friends (rather than simply as resources)► and so much more…For those of you who don’t know her, Juliet’s relationship to the wisdom and magic of the plant world began at a very early age while living on the wild cliffs of the Oregon coast. The purpose of her work is to help people come home to themselves through fostering deeper relationships to plants and the natural world. It is her strong conviction that plants are a powerful portal into the magic and wonder of being alive and embodied.With her book, The Girl Whose Garden Comes Alive, Juliet’s intention is to help children cultivate lifelong reciprocal relationships with the green world, making them feel both empowered and connected to the land around them.This episode is part herbal conversation, part story hour, and entirely delightful. Whether you already love stinging nettle or are just getting to know it, you'll come away with a deeper appreciation for the many ways this humble plant nourishes, restores, and surprises us.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

Mimosa as Emotional Medicine with CoreyPine Shane
What if one of the most beloved herbs for emotional healing isn’t just uplifting—but helps us gently reconnect with parts of ourselves we’ve had to tuck away to survive?In this episode, I sit down with CoreyPine Shane to discuss mimosa (Albizia julibrissin), often affectionately referred to as the “tree of happiness.” And what a fitting name! Mimosa is celebrated as a joyful, uplifting herb, and is commonly reached for to help relieve anxiety and depression—though as CoreyPine shares in this conversation, its benefits are much more nuanced than that.CoreyPine also shares thoughtful insights about trauma, the body, and emotional healing, describing how herbs like mimosa may help us gently release what’s been held for too long. Along the way, we explore what it means to work with plants not just as remedies, but as companions for moving through life’s most tender and transformative moments—and the deep comfort of making connections with the living world around us.Don’t miss CoreyPine’s Peach Mimosa Elixir recipe! This fragrant, uplifting cordial might just be “happiness in a bottle”. You can download your beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you’ll know:► The important differences between mimosa flower and bark medicine► Eight different herbs to pair with mimosa (and when to reach for one over another)► What it means when emotions become “stuck” in the body—and why mimosa is such a helpful herbal ally for helping to move them along► Important considerations for when NOT to use mimosa► and so much more…For those of you who don’t know him, CoreyPine Shane is Director of the Blue Ridge School of Herbal Medicine, and a core member of the mutual aid group, The Appalachian Herb Collective. He has been teaching and helping clients for 30 years, artfully blending Chinese and Western herbal traditions with a focus on local plants. His book Southeast Medicinal Plants covers how to identify, ethically harvest, and use the wild plants of the Southeastern United States.Whether you’re navigating transition, tending old wounds, or simply delighting in the beauty of mimosa flowers, may this episode remind you that healing often begins with connection: to our bodies, to each other, and to the rest of the living world around us.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

How to Read Signs in Your Teeth, Gums & Tongue with Kyle Denton
Most of us were taught to think about dental health in isolation—brush, floss, rinse, repeat. But what if your mouth is actually a gateway to understanding your entire body?In this episode, my friend Mason Hutchison and I interview Kyle Denton to explore a more holistic approach to dental care. Drawing from his overlapping backgrounds in clinical dentistry and herbalism, Kyle shares how the mouth can reflect patterns of health throughout the body (and the many ways that herbalism can help us work with those patterns rather than simply masking them!).We also get into some surprisingly nuanced topics, including toothpaste ingredients, mouthwash myths, the oral microbiome, and why “one-size-fits-all” dental advice often falls short. Throughout the conversation, Kyle shares practical ways to approach oral care with more awareness, intention, and personalization.If this conversation intrigues you and you want to learn even more about how to care for your mouth in a holistic way, you’ll love Kyle’s free Herbal Dental Care mini course! You can join the mini course here. It’s only available for the next few days, so be sure to check it out soon!By the end of this episode, you’ll know:► The biggest misconception people have about dental care► How to tell the difference between types of bad breath—and what they might mean► Why “killing germs” isn’t always the goal when it comes to oral health► Five common ingredients to avoid when buying toothpaste► How understanding tissue states can completely change the way you approach oral care► and many more insights for supporting your oral health naturally….For those of you who don’t already know him, Kyle Denton is a clinical herbalist, medicine maker, and teacher whose roots in dentistry give him a rare and comprehensive view of the body’s inner design. For 15 years he worked in the dental field: chairside, lab fabrication, patient care and clinical management. This daily mentorship developed a deep understanding of the technical, structural, and human sides of oral care. During his later years in dentistry, Kyle’s study of herbalism began to merge with his clinical work, revealing a living bridge between oral anatomy and the energetic, emotional, and ecological dimensions of health.As the founder of Tippecanoe Herbs and Root Radical Herbal Academy, Kyle has taught hundreds of students through courses that blend hands-on medicine making with vitalist philosophy, plant energetics, and the electric field anatomy. His teaching style unites practical knowledge with mytho-poetic insight and light humor, helping students see the mouth as an intelligent gateway of breath, nourishment, and expression, as well as the mechanical structures.Kyle brings together his dual lineages of dentistry and herbalism to empower others with the tools, context, and confidence to care for their oral health naturally, while deepening their understanding of how the mouth reflects the rhythm and balance of the whole body.Whether you’re rethinking your daily routine or simply becoming more curious about the signals your body is sending, I hope this episode inspires you to listen more closely, stay curious, and bring a little more intention to the ways you care for yourself each day.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?
