Today's episode was recorded at the 2018 Great Lakes Herb Faire. Thanks to Anna Fernandez for providing the audio. Please take a moment to check out their upcoming event in Chelsea, MI from September 6 - 8, 2019: LEARN MORE CLASS DESCRIPTION: Botanicals have an important role to play for the cancer patient. Their primary strength is helping to improve quality of life, lessen the chance of infection, and protect vital organs when taken alongside conventional treatment. But questions often arise: what are the potential interactions with modern treatment? What herbs have the best track record, and at what dose? What effects can herbs have in hormone-sensitive cancers? We will work through these questions and review current research to help highlight safe and effective use, and reinforce the idea that herbal medicine isn't just helpful – it is an essential component of the cancer patient's support plan.

It's been about a year since we released this awesome episode on hawthorn with Heather Irvine, so I thought it'd be a good time to revive it. CLICK HERE to read Heather's original hawthorn monograph. Heather will be presenting at the upcoming Breitenbush Herbal Conference this September! We hope to see you there. "Hawthorn is one of those country herbs whose leading quality one might at first describe as benevolent. It is much more powerful though! A great tree, low and broad in stature, it occurs wild in edge-lands of landscapes or occasionally planted for beauty, especially with respect to its generous white blossoms or deep red fruit in the fall and winter. It serves food and sanctuary to wildlife. Overzealous thorns protect birds and smaller critters from those larger ones which receive a memorable gauge and at best a pause to lick one's wounds! In and around a Hawthorn's understory, clumsy human types get so focused on the prize… zeroing in on more flowers or more berries, faster, receiving a poke followed by a clumsier startled retraction. Birds and squirrels laugh at us for sure!" - Heather Irvine For more monographs: www.herbrally.com/monographs You can visit Heather online at GivingTreeBotanicals.com Let us know what you thought of the episode!

Adaptogens and nootropics have been claimed to do amazing things, but do you ever feel the claims made of herbs such as Ginseng and Rhodiola seem vague, too numerous and too good to be true? There is a reason for that. By definition, adaptogens have broad positive effects -- such as helping us withstand stress -- and are somewhat versatile in use. In this class we will go over some of the commonalities of adaptogens, including how they work, as well as differentiate many specific ones in terms of strengths, applications and energetics. From this you will be better able to articulate what an adaptogen is and what systems adaptogens work on. Tulsi, our Herbstalk plant-of-the-year, is an adaptogen, and we will touch on how it is different than many of the others. This class was recorded at the wonderful annual event, Herbstalk, which takes place each June in Somerville, MA. A big shout out and thanks to Steph and Henry, as well as all of the Herbstalk volunteers for organizing and hosting such a great event.

A look at the plethora of issues that surround the actual dispensing of herbs and ideas. This class will not discuss diagnosis. For example, should you use a tincture, fluid extract or capsule? What dose is appropriate? A time to look at all the practical questions that we rarely discuss. Today's episode is brought to you by the NorthWest Herb Symposium. I had the pleasure of attending this wonderful event a few years ago and I gotta say it's top notch. The location alone is worth the trip. It's located at the Camp Casey Conference Center in beautiful Coupeville Washington. Next year's event, titled "Botanicals at the Beach" will be from August 23 – 26 2018.
