This episode is brought to you by the 2025 Good Medicine Confluence August 17 - 20, 2025 Ghost Ranch, New Mexico LEARN MORE & REGISTER Announcing for your entertainment and education, The Plant Healer's Path. This is a unique new series of inspirational and informational videos with host Jesse Wolf Hardin. "Are ya feeling in love with plants and the natural world? Fascinated with plant medicine? Do you keep hearing the call to become a healer and culture-shifter, or to be an even more effective healer than you already are now? Are you open to exploring not only how to understand and utilize herbs, but also diving into more natural, awakened, purposeful and celebratory ways of being and doing?" Thus begins Wolf's trailer to this series of episodes, to be followed soon after on HerbRally by his weekly videos postings. Topics are going to range from "What is an Herbalist?" to redefinitions of health and healing, from an ode to medicinal "weeds" to a look at the "nature" in the term "natural healing," from herbal activism to explorations of plant spirit, and from "10 things to know to become a better herbalist" to the framing of herbal medicine as a portal to our personal wonderment and re-enchantment. We are beyond thrilled to share these episodes with you! A huge heartfelt thank you to Wolf for taking the time to share his wisdom with all of us.

Dana was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune condition called Lichen Sclerosus in 2012 shortly after learning her mother was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. With Western harsh topical steroids and estrogen creams making things worse and covering up underlying systemic issues, Dana looked to eastern medicine to begin repairing her condition, and within 3 months, she began to feel vital, hopeful, and motivated that recovery was possible. In one year, Dana's extreme case of LS was in full remission. Now supporting LS clients for over a decade with comprehensive herbal medicine protocols, Dana has produced a potent herbal oil clinically tested and formulated to target the debilitating symptoms of LS. We chat about what Lichen Sclerosus is, why she thinks LS is being diagnosed at an alarming rate, how she assesses it at the Wildflower Clinic, lifestyle recommendations for those with autoimmunity, resources for those with LS and a whole lot more. This was in incredibly informative interview and I hope you get a lot out of it. Big thanks to Dana for joining me on the show, and thanks to y'all for tuning in.
