The Herbalist's Path Helping You Use Plants As Medicine So There Can Be An Herbalist In Every Home... AGAIN!✌🏼💚🌍🌿🌼

I'm a clinical herbalist, environmental educator and momma on a mission to make this world a better place through plant medicine! Today, my focus is teaching moms and grands how to use plant medicine, so that there can be an herbalist in every home... AGAIN! I host The Herbalist's Path podcast, founded Apothecary Momma online herbal mentorship, and Medicine Makin Momma online medicine making program. I also ran and formulated all products for my herbal company Mountain Mel's Essential Goods, and ran the Green Canyon Apothecary where we focused on using food and plants as medicine.

Some deep and wise words from Brittany of .herbs on our first official episode with her as cohost.

We went deep on the realities we’re facing in this country today, and how deeply rooted they are.

And of course, we talked about herbs that help us stay regulated when the world feels like it’s spinning out of control.

Such a great list of resources from Wintergreen Botanicals, LLC here.

I'll also share Jo Sesay just published some great book by Black Herbalist's as well as another article on her Substack. ('ll link in the comments).

Highly recommend getting your books through Bookshop as well. A Black woman owned company that keeps the money in independent bookstores, instead of that billionaire dude who caused many bookstores to close.

Anyway, grateful for these resources and to continue to learn!

Welcome to Well of Indigenous Wisdom, your global sanctuary for herbal education, plant medicine, functional nutrition, and spiritual guidance.

Herbalism is an act of resistance, as well as just being prepared when systems fail us.

And, there’s no doubt that we need an herbalist in every home… again!

It’s been forever true, but feels more so now.

So, to help others on that mission, we’re doing 50% off our foundational herbalism course

Yesterday, when I woke to the news, I was angry, scared, shocked, mortified, confused, pi**ed, enraged…
and so many other adjectives, none of them actually doing justice to what is happening in our country right now.

It’s not okay.
It’s not right.
And it’s damn scary.

I spun in that headspace for a bit. Watching all the videos. Mind blown that this could actually happen, and then be followed up with blatant lies from so-called leadership.

Absolutely infuriating.

Finally, I made myself go outside.

I looked at the trees.
I breathed.
I cried.
I shook.
I rage danced.
I sang loudly.

I did all the things.
And they helped.

As an empathetic being, I feel a big responsibility to help others, much like Alex did.

But I had to face the reality that if I’m spending my time spinning in the insanity, it doesn’t leave much space to do the work I’m actually here to do.

Yes, there’s a lot to feel right now.
I’m not saying not to feel.
Please allow yourself to feel in whatever ways work best for you.

This is just the reminder.
Don’t forget you need time for self care too, so you can remain strong through the long battle we’re facing.

Because we as herbalists and healers are needed now more than ever.

Milk Thistle is almost always called a “detox herb,” but that framing misses so much of what this plant actually does.

Your liver doesn’t need detoxing. It’s already doing that, 24/7.

What it might need is support while it handles everything you’re asking it to process:
hormones
medications
stress
metabolic waste
the occasional glass of wine.
You know the rest.

Milk thistle’s real gift is its hepatoprotective properties.

It protects liver cells, supports regeneration, increases resilience under load.

It helps your liver do its work well, not just work harder.

But milk thistle isn’t one-size-fits-all. How and when to use it depends on the whole picture.
Your digestion.
Your constitution.
What’s actually happening in your body right now.

This is why herbalism should be approached as a practice, not a prescription list.

When you understand how the body works and why certain herbs are chosen, you stop chasing trends and start making confident, informed decisions.

If you want to go deeper into liver support and what it actually looks like beyond detox culture, drop LIVER below and I’ll send you the link to our liver health episode on The Herbalist’s Path.

Essential oils. Herbalists either love them or hate them.

With so much misinformation out there, plus all the MLM hype and hullabaloo, it’s no wonder.

In my latest podcast episode, I sat down with Hana Viola Tisserand of the Tisserand Institute and she dropped some brilliant insights on the ethics and practical considerations of using essential oils in your herbal practice.

From sustainability to safety to high quality sourcing, Hana had so much to share.

We also talked about strength and resilience during times of turmoil. It was an absolutely wonderful conversation, and I know it’ll leave you feeling inspired.

Your body is already detoxifying, right now, as you read this.

Which means you likely don’t need a fancy overpriced cleanse kit. Your liver is doing this work every single minute.

But here’s what DOES help:

supporting those natural pathways with herbs that improve the process your body is already running.

Artichoke leaf, dandelion, burdock root, yellow dock. These are cholagogues and choleretics (herbs that support bile flow and production), and they work WITH your body’s existing systems.

The key is understanding how these herbs fit YOUR unique situation, including any medications or health conditions.

That’s the difference between using herbs randomly and using them wisely.

The world is insane right now. Some might say on fire.

What is happening in this country is not ok.

And, sometimes as herbalists and empaths, it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out how we can make a difference, how we can help.

It feels that way, because it is.

If you’re struggling with all that is happening, and still feeling called to serve your community…

I see you. I feel you.
And we need you now more than ever.

I created a free guide with loads of ideas in ways you can show up for your community and help, even when it feels like there’s nothing you can do.

Right now, community is everything.

Coming together with the powers of Good (bless her soul) is how we can overcome so much evil.

So, Medicine For The People is an Herbalist’s Guide to Showing Up For Your Community in Times of Need.

Comment PEOPLE, and I’ll send the guide your way.

Food is powerful medicine!

And those tasty herbs and spices you have in your kitchen cabinet are loaded with so many healing properties, from gut health, to immune boosting, brain function, and beyond.

We dive deep on that in the Community Herbalist mentorship. Drop COMMUNITY if you want to learn more about that.

I also had the honor of sharing stories of how her nutritionist mother used ancestral foods and her intuition to help people heal in a deep level.

She dove pretty deep on this in our latest podcast at TheHerbalistsPath (dotcom) I’d love to you to listen. It’s on all your fave podcast players too.

After you tune in, please reach out and let us know what you learned from that episode.

Sending you & yours big big love!

Also, f*ck ice and DJT.
