It was truly a delight to connect with Jesus Garcia. And it was so interesting to learn about Mexican oregano (Lippia graveolens), a plant I wasn’t familiar with before this episode. I think you’ll love hearing Jesus share memories of how his grandmother turned to Mexican oregano for food and medicine. There’s no doubt that plants can be deeply nourishing and healing to our bodies. But I love how Jesus embodies the awareness that plant medicine can go far beyond the physical to encompass connection, nurturing, and positive movement.Which leads me to the work Jesus does with kids in the school systems just outside of Austin, Texas. (It seriously made me wish I could be one of the students in his preK classes!)If nurturing a connection between children and our beautiful Earth is one of your values, I suspect you’ll come away from this episode with a LOT of ideas and inspiration for:► How a food forest can evolve into a place of peace and sanctuary► How plants can be a caretaker and the caregiver for community► How children can make their own medicineHere is one of my favorite takeaways from our conversation: “Every little pocket of our gardens and our food forest has not only food. It has a beautiful sensation of spiritual care.”For those who don’t already know Jesus, he is a Mexican Shaman and Herbalist teaching the traditions of lineage work through botanical practices of curanderia and community spiritual herbalism.Jesus is an early childcare educator focusing on nature school fundamentals through holistic enrichment garden programs and is the founder of the HerbalActionProject, a nature play-school and community.If you’d like to hear more from Jesus, which I highly recommend, then head to the show notes where you can get an easy link for his website and social media channels.

It’s this force on the landscape…It’s this profound presence. Their smell and their nature, the habitat that they provide is this medicine all on its own that you can actually step into.”In case you don’t already know her, Kat Mackinnon, RH(AHG), has been a certified clinical herbalist and nutritionist through the NAIMH since 2011.

Cancer. The very word can strike fear in the heart—and unfortunately, it touches many of us at some point in our lives, whether directly or indirectly through family and friends. But cancer… and herbs? What role can herbs possibly play in a big, scary, potentially deadly  disease like that? If you’re faced with a cancer diagnosis, what can you do to take control of your journey and feel empowered? Just as important, what steps can you take to help prevent cancer in the first place?These are just some of the issues covered in today’s episode with Chanchal Cabrera—an herbalist with 35 years of clinical practice who specializes in holistic oncology. It was so good! And Chanchal’s new book, Holistic Cancer Care, needs to be on everyone’s bookshelf. It’s an impressive and helpful book for anyone who’s ever been touched by cancer, and even those who want to prevent it.By the end of this episode, you’ll know:► What is patient-centered medicine, and why is it so vitally important when crafting a treatment plan?► Is it true that lymphatic herbs shouldn’t be used by cancer patients? Why or why not?► Why sunscreen doesn’t give you the protection you might think it does (and what you can do instead)► How can herbal medicine be included in cancer care, and what are some specific herbs that have been researched for this purpose?► Depending on the treatments selected and the cancer itself, patients may suffer with radiation burns and/or neuropathic pain. As a listener, you’ll also receive free access to not one, but two downloadable recipe cards from Chanchal for soothing herbal creams.Here is one of my favorite takeaways from our conversation: “I see the role of a herbalist as an incredible opportunity to connect people with plants in such a way that they actually care enough about the environment the plants grow in to do something active to help the environment. Really, I see herbalism as an extremely effective form of activism and I consider myself an environmental warrior, an environmental activist through my herbal medicine work.”For those who don’t already know her, Chanchal is a medical herbalist and has been in clinical practice for 35 years with a specialty in holistic oncology. She is the author of Fibromyalgia: A Journey towards Healing and her latest book, Holistic Cancer Care: An Herbal Approach to Preventing Cancer, Helping Patients Thrive during Treatment, and Minimizing the Risk of Recurrence, launched in April. She held the faculty chair in Botanical Medicine at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in New Westminster 2004-2016. She serves on the board of advisors of Dominion Herbal College in Burnaby, on the editorial board of Medical Herbalism clinical newsletter, and she publishes widely in professional journals and lectures internationally on medical herbalism, nutrition, and health.Chanchal is also a certified Shinrin Yoku (forest bathing) practitioner, a certified Master Gardener and a certified Horticulture Therapist.
