Herbs with Rosalee Burdock with Margi Flint + Burdock in a Formal Dress Recipe
Burdock root (Arctium lappa, A. minus) is well known for its ability to support the liver and work as an overall alterative herb. And it’s a beloved herb for herbalists. But nobody said medicine couldn’t be delicious… and I know you’re going to love the delectable recipe for burdock shared by today’s guest, Margi Flint!
I connected with Margi many years ago at an International Herb Symposium in Massachusetts and I’ve wanted to have her on the show for a while now. I think you’ll agree that the wait was worth it! This episode is sprinkled with herbal gems for you to enjoy. By the end, you’ll know:
► The important role of listening on your herbal path
► What type of herb Margi always recommended to her clients – and why
► The breakfast blend Margi often brews (it sounds yummy!)
► A tip that will lead to easier harvests of burdock root
► How reading the body made Margi more effective as an herbal practitioner (and how you can learn to read the body yourself)
► Margi’s memories of being mentored by one of the most influential herbal teachers of the 20th century
