What's a Good Herb for...?
Do your friends ask you, “what’s a good herb for…” IBS, or PMS, or fibromyalgia, or whatever is bugging them? If you’ve ever struggled to answer such a request, you’re not alone.

Hibiscus Energetics by Species & Part
Today’s episode is about hibiscus energetics – a quick clarification on plant species & parts, and how herbal energetics & actions may differ among them.

Uncertainty versus Imposter Syndrome for Herbalists
Today we’re sharing some thoughts about uncertainty versus imposter syndrome, and learning herbalism. Recently, we did a 20 Questions video for the folks at HerbRally – it ran nearly four hours long! Two of the questions we were asked wove a theme together, and we wanted to share them here.

Affordable Analogues for Expensive Herbs
Accessibility in herbalism is not something extra or something nice-if-possible, it’s a critical part of our work.
