This lecture comes from our Free Herbalism Project archive. We shared Pt. 1 of this 2-part lecture last week before Valentine's Day! Talking about aphrodisiacs seemed like a great topic this time of year. And let's be real, we could all use more love in our lives anytime of year, whether it's coming from people or plant allies. Listen along as jim mcdonald dives into aphrodisiacs, a popular and often problematic term. Looking at lists of plants deemed "aphrodisiacs," we see everything from strong herbs (yohimbe) to culinary spices (ginger), from adaptogens (ashwangandha) to antispasmodics (kava). There are a lot of herbs that could be considered aphrodisiacs and as we'll learn, what works for one person may not work for someone else. jim talks about what indications make certain herbs appropriate for certain people and offers engaging ideas to ponder with your loved ones. jim mcdonald is a community herbalist, a manic wildcrafter, a medicine maker, and has been an ardent student of the most learned teachers of herbcraft… the plants themselves. Learn more about jim and his educational opportunities by visiting herbcraft.podia.com. This presentation was recorded live at the Free Herbalism Project in Eugene, OR on August 29, 2014. jim references 14-pages of notes from his lecture that are available on our website.

Enjoy Lisa Ganora's conversational storytelling as she explores the connection between our ancient organoleptic skills as mammalian creatures, and modern research in phytochemistry. We touch on herbalists' roles as land stewards and water protectors during our climate change crisis. We laugh as Lisa demonstrates her scratch, snort, sniff, savor, and spit method of organoleptic connections.

Today's episode is a recording of Althea Northage-Orr's keynote speech at the 2019 Great Lakes Herb Faire. This year, they are hosting a virtual conference with an amazing lineup of presenters! Be sure to check them out at GreatLakesHerbFaire.org. Great Lakes Herb Faire September 10 - 12, 2021 LEARN MORE KEYNOTE DESCRIPTION Althea will talk about the vital role that we all can play in bringing knowledge of plants back into the mainstream. From the basic home skills that our grandmothers and grandfathers possessed, to the clinical practitioner, we all have pieces to bring to the table. As cooks, gardeners, medicine makers, educators and healers, our spiritual connections to the plants can enrich the lives of everyone around us; and as health care becomes more expensive and less founded in the day to day skills that enhance and create wellness, Herbalism can reconnect and empower us. She will talk about the many ways we can all become "herbal messengers," bringing back health care to the home, office and institutions that make up our world. Join our community!

Let's listen in to find out what he's been up to lately, a little bit of his backstory, stories of being a teacher, his advice to aspiring herbalists and much more! This is such a fun episode, we hope you enjoy! In 1996, jim mcdonald's life changed when he drank tea from a wild plant he harvested from the land he lived upon. Since those first sips of strange tea, his life in the woods and meadows of southeast Michigan has been centered on the plants & ecosystems of that land, and how he might share their virtues to restore wellness with those around him. jim's approach to herbcraft blends traditional folk and indigenous influences with 19th century eclectic and physiomedical vitalism, which he conveys with story, experience, humour, common sense and lore to students, clients, random passersby, and readers of his website www.herbcraft.org. He's taught classes throughout north america and is currently alternately writing "Foundational Herbcraft" and the "A Great Lakes Herbal", in addition to articles for journals and other publications. jim is a community herbalist, a manic wildcrafter and medicine maker, and has been an ardent student of the most learned teachers of herbcraft… the plants themselves.
