GNARLY ROOTS + THE HERBAL PATH | Community Herbalist | Lupo Passero

Lupo Passero is a community herbalist, flower essence practitioner and the founder & director of Twin Star Apothecary in historic New Milford, Connecticut. In this free flowing conversation we talk about dreams, the bears and cats that haunt them, elderberry, bear perfume, the spiritual side of herbalism, forming plant relationships, the importance of talking to poison ivy, transplanting lady slippers, dandelion pesto, and much more. Lupo shares the wisdom that she’s gleaned from the gnarled roots of black cohosh: an Appalachian medicinal plant prized for its many uses for women’s health. We end with the story of how her immigrant grandparents' homestead lifestyle lead Lupo to the herbal path.
