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.

Oregon grape is a potent plant for many medicinal uses. And I’m grateful to have an abundance in my yard, and in an area we want it removed.

So, I took advantage of it being Fall, and all the good medicine returning to the roots of this fabulous plant!

One thing that’s important to know, is this plant is on the United Plant Savers
at risk species list. And if I didn’t have loads in such a convenient location for me, I wouldn’t just be harvesting this all w***y nilly.

Not sure if you should harvest a plant in the wild? Please always check United plant savers before you do!💚🙏🏼💚

Anyway, I’m making a tincture of the berberine rich roots to help with various things in our home, from digestive function to its antimonicrobial properties.

While it’s super hard to make Oregon grape root actually yummy (sorry, it’s just not) this tincture will still be so clean thanks to Organic Alcohol Company
cane spirits. I don’t know how they do it, but the alcohol they create is magically smooth!

And, if you’re feeling like you need to make even tastier more potent and delightful herbal remedies…

I’d love to invite you in to Medicine Makin’ Mommas during this fall enrollment. Drop MAKER down below and let’s chat 💚

Fall is one of the best times of the year for making great herbal remedies!

All the roots are ready to be harvested & processed into the medicine you’re going to need for the coming year.

And, it can quickly get overwhelming thinking you have to do allllll the things.

But, you don’t.

What if instead, you made just what you needed? You didn’t waste all your time & your money making jars full of potions you’ll never use?

If that sounds good to you, that’s a lot of what we’re doing at the Herbal Medicine Planning Party & yes, you’re invited!

Together, we’ll plan out the remedies you’ll actually use, so you don’t have to do it all.

Join us! Drop PARTY down below & I’ll send an invite your way.

Thoughts in an ever increasing world of crazy.

What if the best thing I can do is spread love and kindness?

Some days, it’s really hard, but I also know it is so desperately needed out there!

Would love to hear how you’re handling the crazy these days?

When times are as hard to navigate and understand as they are right now, we still have to find a way to stay sane.

A way to stay grounded.

A way to rise up in our truth and our power.

I’m not going to say it’s easy, and I certainly don’t have the perfect or instant fix.

But these are the things helping me to maintain my sane, stay grounded, and still rooted in my mission here on this precious planet.

What’s helping you maintain your sanity these days?

When you start to dabble in herbs, it’s hard not to want to learn every single one out there as fast as you possibly can!

They’re so cool & it’s all so fascinating & fun!

That’s why most new herbalists think the key is memorizing every plant and what it does.

The truth is, you’ll become a far better herbalist by learning how the body works first.

When you understand the body, you can see HOW and WHY the herbs work within it.

That’s when your remedies become so much more powerful.

You learn to formulate for each individual you’re working with, and for the various ailments they may be facing, whether physical, emotional, spiritual, internal, or external.

You catch my drift.

This is when you finally get to show your skeptical Uncle Larry that these herbs actually work, and they’re not just witchy woo-woo bulls**t.💩

This is why inside the Community Herbalist Program we start each month with anatomy and physiology before diving into the herbs and lifestyle recommendations.

Herbal medicine is about healing the whole human: body, mind, and spirit. Not just memorizing plants.

If you’re ready to move beyond dabbling in herbs and finally feel confident in the remedies you create or recommend, the Community Herbalist Program might be for you.

Drop COMMUNITY in my DMs and let’s see if it’s a fit 🌱

Yesterday I got an email from a student who’s been with me for a year.

She was simply celebrating how far she’d come—and it reminded me just how much of a gift herbal medicine truly is.

The gift of being able to heal yourself.
The gift of knowing how to care for your family with plants.

I’ve thought about all the times in my motherhood journey where I could just step outside and find the exact plant I needed…

The moment during COVID where I didn’t panic—because I already had everything my family needed.

Or the sweet times when my daughter got sick and just trusted that whatever I gave her would work—because she was raised with these plants.

And then there are the golden moments, like when she taught her friends what to use for a bee sting at the park.

This is herbalism as a way of life.

And it’s a gift I want you to have too.

That’s why, through Mother’s Day, Naturally Healed is 40% off.

Because yes, you’ll get the lessons, recipes, cheat sheets, and herb sourcing hookups.
But more importantly, you’ll get:

🌸 Empowerment
🌿 Confidence
🌸 Love
🌿 Inner knowing
🌸 Trust in your brilliance as a mother
🌿 And a billion more flowers for all the rest of your dayssss

You deserve this gift. Your family does too. And honestly? The planet does.

Now is your time.
Drop “MOM” and I’ll send you the link.
