Do you drink herbal tea year round? Or just in the colder months? Now that the weather is warming? Do you prefer hot or iced teas?

I love making a hibiscus sun tea on the porch this time of year and then keeping it in the fridge, a little bit tart, it's super refreshing on a warm day!

Some of my other favorite refreshing herbs to use in an iced tea right now include linden flower, holy basil, lemon balm and chamomile. What are some of your favorites?

Are you interested in learning more about to use herbs for yourself, but not wanting to become a professional herbalist?

Have you looked at courses of learning before but were put off by the expense or far-way location?

Have you taken online herbal courses but were frustrated by the lack of ability to speak with an actual human, let alone someone with years of clinical experience using herbs to help people?

To be honest, I went through all of this too when I wanted to study herbs more deeply. I'm lucky though because I did go to chiropractic school and I do have the background study and knowledge to more accurately assess body systems and illness.

To help others who are struggling to find an affordable, easily digestible way to learn how to use herbs safely & effectively for themselves, I created a membership group- The Practical & Potent Herbalism Guild.

Each month we review an herb of the month, with a downloadable, printable monograph you can add to your personal materia medica, with dosing instructions, safety information, including contraindications, as well energetics and primary uses of the herb. We also have a live workshop each month with the opportunity for Q&A afterwards. You can ask me anything about using herbs!

It's almost April and we'll be diving in a new herb and a new topic. Come join me and learn more about herbs! https://wildwomanherbalist.podia.com/practical-potent-herbalism-guild/buy

As a clinical herbalist, I specialize in creating formulas for the person, not a disease or illness. Hence, I don't create and sell generic formulas.

It starts by getting to know the person and their energetics as well as the energetics of the presentation of their illness or health challenge.

For instance, many of my autoimmune folks have heat signs, because they have symptoms of active inflammation. Using too many hot or warming herbs, could make their symptoms worse.

On the other hand, often my folks with chronic gut issues may have 'cold' signs- signs that their digestive fire is hampered and here we'd want to use warming bitter herbs to bring vigor back to their digestion.

The process for creating formulas for a person can be complex and can involve a lot of research- even when you know the herbs well. I still go through my materia medica often to compare what the very best herbs for a given person are. I often use a triune system of formulation though because this allows me to use herbs synergistically to address 4 bodily systems at once. This allows me to further tailor an herbal protocol specifically to the person I'm working with.

Each person is unique and I love that herbal medicine provides the tools to acknowledge that and work with a specific person.

Have you ever had an herbal formula created specifically for you by an herbalist?

Did you know that antler is one of the fastest growing tissues on earth? Its amazing that cervids grow this every year, just to drop them in the winter. Lately I've been in the woods a lot looking for cast off antlers. They are hard to find, so many times your eyes play tricks on you and what looks like a shed antler is just a stick. The shed antlers also provide a rich source of minerals to small rodents and mammals that chew on them for the calcium and other minerals. Some folks even make in the shed velvet of the antlers into remedies for increased vitality and vigor.

Antler velvet is extremely difficult to find or forage in the wild. Many people speculate that bucks and bulls eat it to reabsorb the nutrients in it. Antler velvet products are made from the shed antler velvet from animals in captive cervid operations- essentially deer or elk 'farms'. The problem with these farms (there are several) is that cervids like deer and elk, can obtain a disease called Chronic Wasting Disease. This is an always-fatal, spongiform encephalopathy caused by a prion- similar to Mad Cow in bovines, scrapie in sheep and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. In short, this prion protein makes swiss cheese of the brain. It is extremely transmissible in salvia, urine and f***s. Animals in a farm situation can transmit it through shared water tanks, mineral licks and feed stations/troughs. The incidence of CWD is growing alarmingly in the U.S. and captive cervid farms a large piece of the problem. (Also your bird feeder may be contributing to the issue if deer are gathering by it regularly to feed on the spilled seed.)

All of this to say: please don't purchase antler velvet products. We have lovely herbs like adaptogens that can help support healthy, vitality and vigor without needing to use antler velvet products from captive cervid operations.

Hey you... yes you! Friendly reminder- have you taken your herbs today???

What herbal remedies are you currently using to support yourself?

I'm traveling to Utah to go skiing a couple of weeks and I'm currently using a formula of reishi, cordyceps, rhodiola and amla to help my body be better prepared for the high altitude and being physically activity at the high altitude as well.

Did you self-prescribe your herbs or did you work with an herbalist to decide on which ones would best support you right now
