Iâve known Thomas Elpel for several years, and was really excited to have the chance to talk with him again. Tom sat down with me to discuss how a basic understanding of botany can be helpful for herbalists, but our conversation went way beyond that. While not strictly an herbalist, Tom is definitely a plant person through and through, and his curiosity about the natural world is infectious!
Tom has written many books about a variety of subjects. His book Botany in a Day, which can help you learn to recognize and identify plants through their botanical families, was transformative for me when I was first learning to identify plants! Tom has shared a sample page from Botany in a Day about the oleaster plant family with us; you can download your copy here: https://bit.ly/40PkFNr
By the end of this episode, youâll know:
âș How learning to recognize plants by the patterns of their botanical families can be useful to herbalists and other people who work with plants
âș Why itâs so important to actually go out and experience the natural world â the way the deer do!
âș Why âinvasive plantsâ is a complicated term, and how working to eradicate plants with this label can sometimes do more harm than good
âș Four ways that plants in the oleaster family can benefit the environment around them
âș and so much moreâŠ
For those of you who donât know him, Thomas J. Elpel is the director of Green University in southwest Montana, and is the author of nine books ranging in topics from wilderness survival to consciousness. He is best known for his book Botany in a Day: The Patterns Method of Plant Identification. With his background in wilderness survival skills, Tom applied a self-sufficiency ethic to all aspects of his life, from living in a tent and building his own stone and log home to later launching his own publishing company. Tom has produced two card games that teach plant family patterns and one that teaches wildlife ecology. He is presently writing a book about the ecology of the American West.
I canât wait to share our conversation with you today!

Iâve known Beth for many years, and I knew from experience that the two of us were going to have a lively conversation! It was a joy to sit down with her to discuss kava - a plant that has been supporting her since day one of her herbal journey, and one that I have also found to be super helpful in times of stress and anxiety. Beth has gotten to know this plant so well that her friends sometimes even refer to her as the Kava Queen!
Beth has worked with kava in so many different ways, from tinctures to powders and even chocolate bars! One of her favorite ways to take kava is in her delicious smoothie recipe, which she calls Kava Kolada. Youâll find a beautifully illustrated recipe card here, so that you can give it a try too: https://bit.ly/3YBeQQJ
By the end of this episode, youâll know:
âș How kava can help you lower your walls and speak from your heart
âș Why kava is so great during times of grief, stress, and anxiety
âș Five different herbal preparations for kava
âș An unusual way that kava affects you - and how that might help you when you go to the dentist!
âș and so much moreâŠ
For those of you who donât know her, Bethâs love of nature came from growing up on her family farm. She spent years walking the woods collecting treasures (bluebells being her favorite), and "sucking the sugar" out of red clover blossoms. A sun worshipper at heart, at 26 she fled the snow & moved to the desert. There she discovered the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA), where she studied herbalism, hypnotherapy, aromatherapy, astrology & more. She graduated with an Associateâs Degree in Holistic Healthcare with a specialty in Western Herbalism, taught by the brilliant herbalist JoAnn Sanchez. She worked for Whole Foods, herb shops, Dr. Hauschka, SWIHA, and many herb companies, and she taught herb classes. In 2009, life led her to Austin, and her dream of owning an herb shop came true. Sacred Moon Herbs came to birth on April 17th of 2012 in Dripping Springs, Texas.
Iâm excited to share our conversation with you today!

When I first started studying herbs over two decades ago, I learned herbs (like many people do) by memorizing herbal actions, memorizing lists, and then throwing it all together. But I found that choosing herbs for people using these memorized lists didnât always work, which was incredibly discouraging!
Luckily, I found out about herbal energetics, and thatâs what Iâve based my herbal practices on ever since. However, Iâve noticed over the years that there are a lot of misconceptions about this helpful system of matching herbs to people!

By the end of this episode, youâll know:
âș Why herbal energetics is such a practical - not mystical! - system of matching herbs to people
âș Why using herbal energetics can be more effective than the modern medicine approach (especially when dealing with chronic conditions!)
âș How using your senses to understand an herb can give you a big-picture view of its phytochemistry
âș Why learning herbal energetics together with herbal actions is such a powerful way of understanding plants
âș and so much moreâŠ.
If youâre interested in learning more about herbal energetics, youâll love my free Herbal Energetics mini-course, which is happening now and for the next week only! This video training course will show you why herbal energetics is so important - especially when working with herbs for your health!

Itâs been on my mind to have Michael Pilarski on the show for quite a while now, so when he dropped by the other day to see my garden, it seemed like the perfect time to invite him to be here.

It was so much fun to meet the famous Brigitte Mars, who has been an herbalist for over fifty years. Iâve admired her work for such a long time, and found in this interview that she is also quite the character!
Brigitte has such a strong thread of creativity that just bursts out of her, and our conversation went in many unexpected directions â way beyond simply talking about our mutual love for dandelions!
Itâs truly bizarre to me that some people reach for poisons to eradicate certain plants in their lawn - especially when so many of those plants can be so beneficial to our health! Dandelion is such a cheerful, wonderful plant with so many gifts, and I think that the more people who learn to work with it in their food and medicine, the fewer people will be using toxic chemicals on their lawn.
Speaking of making food from this sunny little plant, Brigitte has shared her delicious recipe for dandelion âmushroomsâ with us, which you can find here.
By the end of this episode, youâll know:
âș Four ways to work with dandelions in food and drink (including an interesting way to use the flower stems!)
âș The three herbs Brigitte would bring with her if she was traveling to another planet
âș Why Brigitte is so passionate about wild foods
âș Why dandelion is such a great herbal ally for mental and emotional health
âș and so much moreâŠ
For those of you who donât know her, Brigitte Mars is an herbalist and nutritional consultant of natural health with over fifty years of experience. She teaches herbal medicine at Naropa University. Brigitte has also taught at the Omega Institute, Esalen, many festivals including Burning Man, and even the Mayo Clinic. She is a founding and professional member of the American Herbalist Guild.
Brigitte is the author of many books and DVDs, including The Natural First Aid Handbook, Natural Remedies for Mental and Emotional Health, The Desktop Guide to Herbal Medicine, and a newly republished book on dandelion. Her latest project is a phone app called IPlant, and she has several online courses which you can find in the show notes.
If youâd like to hear more from Brigitte, which I highly recommend, then head to the show notes where you can get easy links for her website and social media channels. You can also find the transcript for this episode in the show notes and you can access your recipe card at: https://bit.ly/3zvcpGO.

I have fallen in love with Mary Morgaine Squireâs plant love letter newsletters lately, and when I sat down to interview her, it was made even more clear to me just how deep her connection with the herbs is!

For those of you who donât know her, Mary Morgaine Squire, aka Mary Plantwalker, is a land steward, writer, educator, ceremonialist and avid gardener living in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. She began her walk with the plants at Fairhaven College in the early 90âs while earning a BA in sustainable living, and later traveled the world to learn from the plants and healers of indigenous cultures. Matthew Wood, Frank Cook and Juliet Blankespoor have been some of her many herbal teachers along the way.
Mary Morgaine creates sacred sanctuary wherever she goes, pouring her life energy into the space around her. Herb Mountain Farm, a healing botanical sanctuary that hosts events, a forest school and residential community, has been her home for many years and she is devoted to stewarding it with loving care. Her joy arises while tending the land and documenting the life unfolding on this magical planet through writing, photography and collage. Her prayer is that this work will inspire others to care deeply for our Mother Earth.
As a plantfolk woman, Mary Morgaine walks her talk by steeping herself daily in the spirit of the plants whether itâs eating something wild, drinking herbal tea, sitting under a tree or giving voice to the plant nation. She is an eternal student of the natural world and generously shares with others how to strengthen their personal relationship with the plants around them and find their passion for embracing conscious earth stewardship. She offers regular Appalachian Tea Ceremonies, Plant Walks, and other earth-based workshops and is the author of a weekly subscription newsletter called Earth Devotions.
