The Herbal Foundations Course brought to you by Green Path Herb School LEARN MORE AND REGISTER One of our subscribers asked "what do you find to be the most versatile herb in your practice, and why?" Kyle Denton answers with a resounding "YARROW"! He does teach us about the many virtues of yarrow in this video. But he also chats a bit about how we talk about plants. What does it mean to "use" a plant? Instead, perhaps we should say "work with", or talk about the virtues of plants. Kyle also has several classes in our HerbRally Schoolhouse membership area.

Today's episode is a guided oatstraw meditation with Robin Rose Bennett. This meditation is also available on our YouTube channel. WATCH HERE A note from Robin Rose Hi, Robin Rose Bennett here, storyteller, herbalist and green witch. I'm blessed to live on the edge of 3,000 acres of protected state forest in northern NJ. And to have been working with, teaching about, and learning from the plants and other plant people for over thirty years. I've learned that herbs are uniquely gifted in helping us heal body, mind, heart and soul. As we attune to their spiritual teachings, they help us deepen our relationships with ourselves, each other and the web of life. And it is a delight and honor to be part of the HerbRally community! When Mason invited me to contribute, I sat down in my medicine wheel and recorded this video as my first offering. I hope you enjoy this meditation with Avena sativa (Oatstraw) where I invite you to put down tiny roots and move like the plant, to have an experience of freedom, fluidity and earth connection. This meditation is also available in her classic herbal "The Gift of Healing Herbs". BUY THE BOOK Robin Rose Bennett is a story-teller, writer, and herbalist. She has been offering classes in Wisewoman Healing Ways: Herbal Medicine and EarthSpirit Teachings since 1986 - at herb conferences, festivals, clinics, medical and nursing schools, and most joyously, outside with the plants. Robin Rose shares herbal medicine with gratitude for the loving generosity of the plants and the magic, mystery, and beauty of the web of life. She is on the faculty of the New York Open Center and the Arbor-Vitae School of Traditional Herbalism, and is the author of two meditation mp3's and the books: Healing Magic- A Green Witch Guidebook to Conscious Living and The Gift of Healing Herbs- Plant Medicines and Home Remedies for a Vibrantly Healthy Life.

They're common in aromatherapy, incense and perfumery, but what about the rest of their countless benefits? Resins can be used in balms, salves, liniments, creams, serums, massage oils, body butters and so on. The ancient systems of medicine treasured resins so much and often referred to them as "liquid gold," and "food of the gods". Resins have been prized over the ages for their use in beauty products and skin care preparations, and of course, for their aromas… We're excited to share an amazing new series – which is ALL about resins – from our friend Evan, founder of The Northwest School of Aromatic Medicine. It's called The Botanical Resins Workshop Series. In this free course he's making it a point to talk about the many different ways resins can be used. He'll help you see why resins are so precious and often have MORE medicine and aromatics than a lot of other botanicals you might be working with. He's also going to walk you through how to make infused resin oils and resin-based salves that can be used for superior first aid, skin care, and much more. Join this complimentary workshop and start watching the first lesson now. This fun and informative series is available for a limited time so be sure to sign up today! Hope you enjoy
