  • Yes, herbs can support us in aging more gracefully! Happy, healthy aging means avoiding the typical diseases that make us miserable or lead to early death. What we need are effective medicinal plants that can help us stay fit and juicy, balance our stress hormones, immune system, blood sugar, and cholesterol, control inflammation, prevent cancer, and improve bone and skin health! Adaptogens tick many of these boxes, for example, Medicinal Mushrooms like Cordyceps and Reishi, He Shou Wu (Fo-Ti), Ginseng, Ashwagandha and Schisandra. Astragalus for immunity, Turmeric as an anti-inflammatory, and Gotu Kola for nerve, skin and bone health!

  • Let's raise awareness for hormonal fluctuations in the lives of women that make us cyclical beings, but let's not normalize period pain and PMS, because for those we have effective and safe herbal remedies! Let's talk about Vitex (Agnus Castus), Shatavari, and Dong Quai as hormonal regulators, but also liver herbs to reduce the effects of toxic estrogen metabolites like milk thistle seeds and supplements like DIM and sulforaphane, and also really important, our gut microbiome/estrobolome, which we can improve by eating a fiber-rich diet and taking probiotics if necessary. For period cramps we have herbs to regulate blood and circulation, and to lower inflammation, like hawthorn berries and rosehips! And of course, calming herbs and nervines like chamomile, hops, valerian, and adaptogens to support our mood and stress response like Rhodiola and Ashwagandha. No one has to keep suffering from PMS and period cramps!

  • I enjoy making my own skin moisturizer out of tropical butters like shea butter, cacao and cupuaçu butter, melting those, and adding luxurious plant oils like Argan, Jojoba, and Seabuckthornfruit Oil for a creamy consistency. I don't have to add any preservatives or emulsifiers because I don't add water to those creams. Instead, I spray my face with Rose Water or Witch Hazel Hydrolate before applying the face balm for added moisture and a toning, pore-refining effect. Lavender and Cistus grow abundantly around me, so I use them to make my own herbal-infused oils, which I use directly as a body oil, or in my creams. Some oils have strong medicinal properties, you don't even have to infuse herbs into them, like Andiroba and Copaiba Oil from Brazil, and many others.

  • The herbs I take every day vary with time and the seasons but these are some of the herbs that I'm currently taking every day: medicinal Mushrooms like Cordyceps, Reishi and Lion's Mane, Dong Quai and He Shou Wu, two pretty amazing herbs from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Guggul, Aloe gel, Ashwagandha and Nutmeg (widely used in Ayurveda), and now in summer for its refreshing properties: Hibiscus cold-infusions with green Stevia leaf! Not to forget my digestive herbs, Fennel, Anise, Flaxseed, and Triphala or Haritaki! I will explain why and how I take these herbs and hopefully inspire you to take your herbs on a daily basis!

  • Herbs can help resolve the underlying issue of a health condition and work towards a sustainable, long-term improvement of health. But they can also control symptoms for short-term relief in effective ways and with way fewer side effects than pharmaceuticals. Using herbs to manage symptoms can help to stop the downward spiral of health problems, but it should ideally be combined with herbs that address the actual root cause of the problem for a long-term cure. For example, a person with high blood pressure could use herbal diuretics to lower blood pressure, but this would just suppress a symptom, similar to a drug (but with fewer side effects). Ideally, this approach would be combined with herbs and foods that actually repair and strengthen the cardiovascular system, for example, hawthorn berries and garlic. Listen to the episode for more examples, and how I treated my intense neck pain last week with Lobelia tincture!

  • Triphala is a very ancient herbal formulation from Ayurveda. It consists of three fruits: Amla (or Amalaki), Haritaki, and Bibhitaki. According to Ayurveda and modern scientific studies, it has benefits for digestion, constipation, and rejuvenation due to its high antioxidant properties, it's good for healthy glowing skin (and you also use it externally as a face mask), supports gentle liver detox, good eyesight, colds and flu, sinus infections, allergies immune deficiencies, and blood sugar balance. It is a safe and gentle remedy that can be given to kids and elders. Ayurveda recommends taking a teaspoon mixed into water, daily, for life! It is mostly used internally, but also as a mouthwash or to brush your teeth, nasal irrigation with a neti pot, or as a hair oil.

  • Gotu Kola or Centella Asiatica is a superior nerve tonic from Ayurveda. When I had my own health challenge with Hashimoto's, Hypothyroidism, and brain fog I took Gotu Kola for over a year and after two weeks of taking it, I couldn't believe the amazing results. Gotu Kola's effect on the nervous system is pretty outstanding. It doesn't really fit into the category of calming nervines or sedatives like Lemonbalm, Lavender, Hops, Valerian, and Poppy Seed. Its effect is more long-term and it completely renews the nerve cells on a physical level. That's why I call it a nerve tonic. We have other categories of herbs, besides nervines, to address the nervous system, for example, adaptogens like Ashwagandha and Rhodiola, circulatories like Gingko, and even the anti-inflammatory herb Turmeric can be very beneficial for conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, focus, and memory as many scientific studies have confirmed.

    Come and join the monthly herbal online classes! Our next topic is the nervous system and we will dive deep into herbs like Gotu Kola, Ashwagandha, Tulsi, Rhodiola, Gingko, Valerian, Nutmeg, Turmeric, Kava e Lavender. Each of these herbs works in a totally different way, so it's important to understand how we would exactly use them. Ayurveda gives us good insights into the underlying root causes of nervous system imbalance and how this is related to digestive issues. What you will learn applies to nervousness, stress, anxiety, moodiness, and insomnia, but also seemingly unrelated problems like digestive, hormonal, skin, allergies, and other imbalances that can have their origin in a nervous system imbalance.

  • We all know Cacao as the wonderful plant that chocolate is made of, but its benefits go way beyond that! Cacao has medicinal properties, is high in antioxidants and can energize you gently and lift your mood! I will share my experience of living for several years on a Cacao farm in Brazil, and the process of harvesting, fermenting, drying and roasting the cacao beans. You will also learn the best way to make a tea of cacao, which is not by using the nibs or beans, but by using the husk! The beans/nibs are high in fat, so water extraction (tea) is not the best way to use them. Of course, the main medicine is in the beans, which is the main part to use medicinally, and a moderate daily dose of them can give many health benefits, and tastes delicious!

  • I took a combination of Rosehips, Garlic, and Ginger for the immune-boosting benefits for over two months, and in this episode, I share with you what I learned and the results on my health. I took Rosehips in different ways, a few that I harvested myself, but mainly the dried rosehips or powdered rosehips that I bought by the pound. I soaked them, had them for breakfast and in smoothies, and made really strong deep red tea. The powder does contain also the seeds which are high in galactolipids, proven to improve joint pain in several studies.

  • Our nervous system, digestion and immune function are three areas to pay attention to during the holidays. Adaptogenic herbs help us to deal with stress, calming nervines keep everyone chill during family gatherings, and it's a good idea to take some carminative herbs to help us digest all that nice yummy food to minimize the damage and regret. Don't leave your herbs at home in case you go traveling, this is a time when you probably need them the most!

  • Let's formulate an herbal winter tea blend! Or actually, no matter what the season is currently, let's learn about some basic herbal formulation principles which take climate and season into account. This is what's in my favorite decoction at the moment and how I make it: First I boil a few slices of Ginger with Dandelion root and a teaspoon full of my so-called Chai base (freshly ground up Cinnamon, Cardamom, Clove and long Pepper/Pippali), and I simmer this for 30 minutes. Then I add my aromatic flowers and leaves, Chrysanthemum, Tulsi and Spearmint and steep for 5 to 10 minutes. To balance the bitterness I sometimes add a few green dried Stevia leaves or chopped Licorice root for sweetness. Can you guess the therapeutic benefits of this combination? How could you adapt this blend to YOUR specific needs and seasonal circumstances? Maybe you want to add a bit of Eleuthero root for more energy, Burdock to keep your skin clear through liver support, or something moistening/demulcent to balance the potential dryness of the herb blend, like Linden (Tilia) or Marshmallow root, or maybe some extra digestive support with Fennel and Anise. It's more about grasping the concept and experimenting for yourself! Enjoy!

  • Elderberry, Garlic, Turmeric, Echinacea, Astragalus, and Ginger are some of the many herbs available to us, to make sure we have healthy and strong immunity in the colder season. But.... what to do if Elderberries are sold out again at the herb store? No worries at all, in this episode we'll dive deep into what is so special (but not unique) about Elderberries, these deep red plant pigments called anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid. Luckily we don't find them exclusively in Elderberries but also in many deep red, purple, blue, or black fruits and veggies. Just to name a few, blackberries, aronia berries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, black plums, cherries, dark grapes, pomegranates, purple cabbage, red onions, purple corn, black beans, black rice, and black soybeans. Instead of buying overpriced elderberry syrup from the pharmacy, we can find some of these alternatives in the grocery store or in nature. These plant pigments have so many health benefits, for the heart, arteries, and brain and to fight inflammation and free radicals, that it is a good idea to incorporate them into your diet on a daily basis.

  • "I have tried everything." This is a phrase I sometimes hear from my clients. Looking at what they actually tried so far, which herbs and dosages, I must say, no, the herbs are definitely not to blame for the lack of results. High expectations on one herb (the miracle herb! it must exist! ...no it doesn't...), as opposed to a complete health protocol that might include several herbs and supplements to get somebody better, and also the lack of knowledge about dose, how quickly or slowly a certain herb works, and for how long you have to take it to get results are the most likely reasons why someone hasn't gotten the health results they wished for so far.

  • Visiting Scotland and marveling at the juicy blackberries, rosehips, hawthorn, and elderberries led me to ponder about the history of Western Herbalism and our relationship to the plants that grow around us. Why do we use the pants we use? What is our role in preserving and passing on the knowledge? How did our perception of health and healing change through history? And, where are we now?

    I visited the amazing Scottish Wild Food Festival organized by a team around Rox Madeira who I found through listening to her podcast "The Sage's Cabin". It was lovely to meet her and her family at the festival, and we enjoyed taking part in so many activities, from herb walks to workshops and trying wild foods and herbs in beautiful nature. I'm so thankful for this experience.

  • Adaptogens and tonic herbs in general are my favorite category of medicinal herbs, and I use them a lot for myself and clients in my health practice. They are safe and non-toxic and help us deal with stress, improve the immune system, regulate hormones, and improve our thinking, mood, anxiety, and fatigue. Absolute all-rounders to help us deal with modern life's challenges! Let's learn about the difference between central nervous system stimulants like coffee, and adaptogens. In a nutshell, coffee depletes your energy and adaptogens actually build up your energy reserves, in the long term. Some of the more known adaptogens are Eleuthero, Ginseng, Schisandra, Reishi, and Rhodiola, but there are a lot more that are less known but equally effective.
