  • Medical astrology is one of the most misunderstood assessment tools available in herbalism, with many flat out rejecting its usefulness or efficacy because of preconceived notions of astrology in general.

    Despite its spiritual or β€œwoo-woo” implications, astrology has practical therapeutic applications. By learning how to use this tool correctly, you can pinpoint an imbalanced organ system, tissue state, or constitutional pattern and develop greater accuracy in your herbalism practice.

    In episode I talk about:

    Medical astrology’s historical roots in medicine

    The line between tradition and science that herbalists face

    What medical astrology looks like in practice

    My concerns for the new era of medical astrology

    How to combine the practice medical astrology with more common tools

  • Scott Kloos is an herbalist, wildcrafter, and medicine maker. He founded and acts as the managing director of the School of Forest Medicine and owns Cascadia Folk Medicine, which supplies high-quality, small-batch herbal extracts from the native plants of the Pacific Northwest region. He also co-founded the Elderberry School of Botanical Medicine in Portland, Oregon, and authored the book Pacific Northwest Medicinal Plants: Identify, Harvest, and Use 120 Wild Herbs for Health and Wellness.

    I always think of Scott as a fellow plant brother and someone I really see eye-to-eye with. For this episode of the Plant Path, I had the opportunity to connect with him, hear more about his relationship to wildcrafting, and what’s in store for all of us in his upcoming course, Relationships of Loving Reciprocity.

    He’s currently running a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the final creation and launching of that course with some sweet perks. Check it out right here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/forestmedicine/relationships-of-loving-reciprocity

    In today’s blog post, you’ll learn:

    What wildcrafting is and how it differs from regenerative wildcrafting

    The unique ways that wildcrafting local plants can reconnect you to yourself, your body, and your environment

    Why developing a relationship that’s not only transactional but heartfelt, is so important when wildcrafting plants

    About Scott’s upcoming project, and how you’ll have the chance to enter the woods with him from the comfort of your own home

  • I know the beginning of the year is when a lot of us take a step back and look at our lives from a greater perspective. Perhaps we're looking back on the past year and thinking about what we'd like to change or do differently...

    ... Or we're looking forward and planning out how we want our lives to look and resolving to make it that way.

    Hopefully as an herbalist, you're thinking about your plant path as well, and considering how you plan on taking your understanding of herbalism, people and plants to the next level so you can be a better practitioner.

    The way I see it, there's so much to learn as an herbalist that it never really ends. The pathway to herbal mastery is to always be a lifelong student. But sometimes it can be hard to know how to get there or where we need to focus our studies and practice.

    This very special audio was an issue of Materia Medica Monthly from a few years ago. But I think it's so relevant to herbalists around this time of year I wanted to share it with you too.

  • As you begin your herbal exploration, you’ll notice that there are a lot of books out there that either talk about a plant’s spiritual or medicinal aspects–but rarely both. This separation of science and spirit mirrors the allopathic approach used in conventional medicine. The problem is that this separation doesn’t exist!

    The more I studied the alchemical perspective, the more I learned that an herb's physical and spiritual properties are connected. When you study herbs this way, you start to see them beyond what they treat, and into their core medicinal qualities instead so you can use the whole plant to treat the whole person.

    In this week’s episode, you’ll learn:

    How alchemy and herbalism connect and create a pathway to becoming a holistic herbalist

    About the herbal 5 keys, which make it easier to learn about herbs

    What energetic architecture is, and how it forms a strong foundation for learning about any herb

    Some of my best tips for studying herbalism when just starting out

  • Have you ever noticed how stress can make your body ache, your heart beat increase, or upset your digestion? Or vice versa and you eat a food your intolerant too and you get edgy, irritable or brain foggy? This happens because our mental, emotional, and physical health are all connected. Sadly, people often treat these aspects separately, which lead to treatments that don't address the whole picture.

By understanding how these parts are linked, you can learn how to make your body, mind, and emotions work together and unlock the potential for a healthier, happier you.

    In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

    What it really means to work with the WHOLE person and discover a holistic approach to healing

    The secret to seeing the connections between the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels in people

    Why you need to go beyond the surface to see results in your practice

    How to spot your clients’ limiting patterns and help them break them, becoming a guide on their healing journey

    Ways to turn your β€œpoison into your medicine” and achieve transformational healing

  • Diving into the world of herbal medicine and the traditions that have carried it for a long time oftentimes introduces us to new concepts, principles, practices, and ways of seeing the world around us that aren’t often taught to us in our modern world. And sometimes there’s something there that changes your life forever.

    For me, the principles of vitalism were one of the biggest revolutionary moments in my life, not only as an herbalist, but as a human being. While I’ll share a bit more about the five ways vitalism transformed my life, they’re also the ways it can transform yours too. This is more than just changing how we see the world around us, or even being more integrated with nature, but it’s also about reaching new levels of self-understanding.

    Here’s a snapshot of this week's episode:

    Why self-understanding includes knowing your own body and its uniqueness How nature externally influences our own nature internally Using herbs beyond just treating symptoms and into supporting health and vitality Why the vitalist herbalist sometimes doesn’t even need to use herbs How the vitalist perspective ultimately boils down to a spiritual way of seeing the world around us

  • Have you come across the idea of allopathic herbalism? This approach often highlights specific symptoms and conditions that certain herbs are β€œgood for.” However, it has a limitation: it doesn't address the root causes of diseases.

    To achieve profound healing, it's crucial to go beyond simply matching herbs with symptoms. Embracing the traditional vitalist herbalism philosophy lets you explore the underlying energies beneath disease symptoms. This empowers you to choose herbs confidently, ensuring they consistently bring about lasting and effective healing results.

    In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

    Ways to avoid the trap of allopathic herbalism

    How to heal by working with your body instead of against it

    Why you shouldn’t ignore symptoms and what they're trying to tell you

    How to deepen your connection with nature and uncover the meaning behind herbs, changing seasons, and the weather

  • Science and spirituality are often painted as opposing forces. When this philosophy makes it into herbalism, you get a big divide between herbalists.

    Depending on their perspective, herbalists will typically choose a scientific or spiritual approach to healing. The problem with picking a side is that you only get one half of the picture. By seeing the unity of science and spirit and the importance of each, you can become a truly holistic healer.

    In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

    The key to transformational healing through embracing the science and spirit in herbalism

    That plants possess consciousness and work beyond physical symptoms to address the heart, mind, and spirit

    Why science isn’t always able to explain how herbs work

    How sickness is a complex interplay of physical and spiritual imbalances

    Ways plant intelligence influences its biochemical makeup

    About spagyrics, a spiritual herbal pharmacy that concentrates the scientific and spiritual properties of herbs

  • Alchemy provides a unique perspective on health and disease that differs from conventional medicine. According to this philosophy, periods of sickness and health are as natural as the changing of the seasons.

    Alchemy views illness as an initiation. From this perspective, sickness provides you with the opportunity to heal underlying patterns and undergo transformation. One of the best forms of herbal remedies to help you with this process is spagyrics. Because these medicines work on the chemical, energetic, and spiritual levels, they correct health imbalances at their root and help you emerge more whole than before.

    In this week's episode, you’ll learn:

    How alchemy's views on illness differ from conventional medicine

    What illness as initiation really means

    Ways that planetary and elemental archetypes influence your health

    The crucial role spagyrics play in healing archetypal imbalances

    How to approach healing for transformational results
