The Uplifted Yoga Podcast Create an Edible Lawn that Heals You - Conversation with Brigitte Mars [Episode 128]
You might want to eat dandelions rather than spray them after listening to this podcast with world-renowned herbalist Brigitte Mars. You’ll also never think of grass in the same way again! Brigitte teaches us simple first aid remedies already living in your the kitchen, easy ways you can create your own edible backyard, and why bees are your best friend in restoring your yard (and healing yourself!). If you have even the slightest interest in how to create your own garden – whether you live in high-rise apartment or a country ranch – this is a must listen. At the very end of the episode, we also get Brigitte’s perspective on psychoactive plants for spiritual use.
