It was such a joy to meet Dr. Ryan Shepherd! In our conversation, we dove into the many benefits of licorice root, which is one of the most frequently worked-with plants in herbal medicine, thanks to its wide use in Traditional Chinese Medicine formulas. Ryan also shared about his herbal journey from London to China to Texas – a story that is perhaps as varied and unique as licorice itself!In addition to discussing the medicinal benefits of licorice root, Ryan showed just how versatile this herb is by including it in his mouth-watering recipe for Qi-Boosting Chicken. (I can’t wait to give this recipe to my handsome French husband so he can make it for me!)

It’s always an honor to connect with EagleSong, and this conversation was no exception. She has such a deep and dynamic presence in the herbal world, and I knew our conversation would be rich with wisdom and insight. We talked about the interconnectedness of people, plants, the earth, and human history—big, beautiful themes that EagleSong brings to life through her stories and experiences.We also spent time with one of my favorite plant allies, hawthorn. But rather than just listing its herbal benefits, EagleSong shared how she’s worked with this sacred plant for decades, offering a perspective shaped by deep listening and tradition.One of her favorite hawthorn traditions is making a Hawthorn Oxymel from the fruit—and she’s graciously shared her recipe with us here: https://bit.ly/4i7QBm5 By the end of this episode, you’ll know:► How connecting with her ancestors brought EagleSong closer to hawthorn► How getting to know plants on an individual level can make you a better herbalist► Why hawthorn is considered a keystone species in many ecosystems► A traditional method for making hawthorn medicine (and how to keep it from turning into jelly!)► and so much more…For those of you who don’t know her, EagleSong dances her mischief in the hedge, that luminous place between tended and wild. A lifelong gardener, she has designed, managed and tended high visibility kitchen gardens and farms, commercial gardens, herb gardens & nurseries, and has trained in healing & therapeutic garden design. Often called a hawthorn whisperer, she has been researching hawthorns for over 30 years and has traveled to 6 countries pursuing an understanding of "what they are good for.” EagleSong is known for her wit and kitchen table wisdom and her incessant need to go outside and play!

Sometimes, I have a pretty good idea what guests on the podcast are going to talk about.  But going in to this conversation with Carin Fortin, I wasn’t sure what to expect - I knew very little about Carin and even less about her chosen herb, ashitaba (Angelica keiskei)!  At first I thought this plant would be similar to angelica (Angelica archangelica) or even dong quai (Angelica sinensis). But no! Ashitaba is an amazing herb with its own unique gifts. It was fascinating to hear all that Carin had to say about this versatile, strengthening herb, and the connections she made among ashitaba, the different systems of the human body, and the workings of the earth.  Carin also shared why it’s so important to build personal relationships with plants, along with some intriguing perspectives from biodynamic farming.You’ll love Carin’s recipe for Ashitaba Honey with Rose, Burdock, and Light Root - a delicious example of how food can be our medicine!  To download your beautifully illustrated recipe card for this herbal honey, click here: https://bit.ly/4gGOu6V By the end of this episode, you’ll know:► How ashitaba can be seen as a mirror of the human body, as well as the body of the earth► Seven medicinal benefits of ashitaba - and why Carin sees it as a knight in shining armor!► Why getting to know herbs is a lot like like getting to know people► Five tips for growing ashitaba► How biodynamics influences Carin’s approach to farming and herbalism► and so much more…For those of you who don’t know her, Carin Fortin—herb farmer, herbalist, and teacher— grew up in Switzerland and has been living in America for 25 years. She is a member of national and international Biodynamic Agriculture committees and is active in the Santa Cruz Anthroposophical Society branch. Together with her partner, Delmar McComb, she started and runs Blossom’s Biodynamic Farm in Aromas, California, where she grows and value-adds medicinal herbs from all over the world. She distills hydrosols, and makes skincare products as well as other health products. Blossom’s first line of California-grown remedy was a range of digestive bitters, picking up Carin’s family’s Swiss tradition.I can’t wait to share our conversation with you today!----Get full show notes and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comFor more behind-the-scenes of this podcast, follow @rosaleedelaforet on Instagram!The secret to using herbs successfully begins with knowing who YOU are.

When Tim Scott’s book, Invasive Plant Medicine, came out in 2010, it was an instant favorite of mine. In fact, it still influences the way I view plants and the natural world!  I was so delighted to finally have the chance to interview Tim, and our conversation touched on many important threads from the book – from the question “what is native” to some of the actual benefits of invasive plants, and so much more.Tim also discussed a plant that inspires anger in many of the places it has taken hold: Japanese knotweed.  Yet there is much to love about this much-maligned plant! Tim shared all about how he works with Japanese knotweed for both food and medicine – including his delicious recipe for Japanese Knotweed Pickles. You can download your beautifully illustrated recipe card from the resource section below.By the end of this episode, you’ll know:► Why labeling plants as “native” or “invasive” can be problematic► Three ways that so-called invasive plants can actually often help to revitalize the land► A surprising way that Japanese knotweed can be worked with to process stored anger► What makes Japanese knotweed such a helpful ally for people with Lyme disease► and so much more…For those of you who don’t know him, Timothy Lee Scott is an herbalist, business owner, and author of Invasive Plant Medicine, which was the first book to outline the healing benefits of invasive plants and their ecological functions in the environment. He is owner of Green Dragon Botanicals, which provides herbal remedies for Lyme disease and other infectious and chronic illnesses, and has specialized in treating Lyme disease for over 20 years, after first apprenticing with the late Stephen Buhner. Tim is a tireless advocate for the plant world and using herbs as medicine, and constantly questions the status quo of the technologically-based, corporate health care system. He currently lives in southern Vermont.I’m so excited to share our conversation with you today!----Get full show notes and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comFor more behind-the-scenes of this podcast, follow @rosaleedelaforet on Instagram!The secret to using herbs successfully begins with knowing who YOU are.

Where are you in your herbal learning journey? Where would you like to go? What steps will you take to get there? These are all questions I’ve asked myself many times over the years, and reflecting upon the answers has helped to guide me to where I am today.Last year, one of the answers that jumped out at me was: go back to herbal school! This may seem a little silly or strange – after all, I already have years of study behind me and even have my own herbal school. So why would I go back to school?  Well, there are several reasons, and you’ll hear all about it in this week’s episode.By the end of this episode, you’ll know:► How I began my herbal learning journey, and some of the many teachers I’ve had along the way► Why relying on just one source of learning is one of the worst things you can do as an herbalist► How it can be helpful to “go back to the basics” on things you already know well► How being a student can help you joyfully see things in new ways► Why the real magic of herbalism lies in the connections we make and relationships we form► and so much more…I’m so excited to share about my continuing herbal journey with you today!
