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.

Today's episode is with Caitlin Frazier, an herbalist, wellness adventurer and blogger based in Nashville, TN. She blogs over at The Locusts and Honey. For all of the links and references that she mentions be sure to check out her post under the same title! Visit Caitlin on the socials: Instagram Facebook Pinterest "Your skin is the largest organ of your body, and it is estimated that every day the average woman puts over 515 chemicals on it. I think that's an understatement. The European Union has banned of 1300 chemicals from cosmetics, while the United States has only banned 11. This means that there are 1289 chemicals in the majority of our personal care products that have been deemed unsafe for all of the inhabitants of Europe. There are virtually no regulations on cosmetics, nor does every single ingredient need to be identified. The word "fragrance" on an ingredients list should send you running. It can mean ANYTHING…there's no way to tell what that implies." - Caitlin Frazier Thanks for listening to the show! If you've enjoyed, please share with an herbalist friend.

On today's episode I narrate Kiva Rose's wonderful Usnea Monograph. This monograph is from the book, "The Plant Healer's Path" by Jesse Wolf and Kiva Rose Bell-Hardin. "When the rains arrive in the Gila, the whole landscape deepens in color and space. It's as if the land, plants and all, takes a deep breath and fills itself out. Mushrooms pop up out of the forest floor, Morning Glory vines spiral upward and the annual Sages burst from seed to flower in the span of only a few weeks. The trees themselves seem to swell and darken with the moisture, and the lichens that live on them often quadruple in size before fruiting wide open. The Usnea is especially beautiful to watch, the delicate and usually dry threads expanding into soft, flexible tendrils that dangle from every Pine and many Junipers." - Kiva Rose LINKS Kiva's Enchantments Plant Healer Good Medicine Confluence The Plant Healer's Path Kiva Rose Bell-Hardin is an herbalist, teacher, author and river restorationist living in the Gila Wilderness on a an 80 acre botanical sanctuary seven jeep-sinking river crossings from the nearest paved road.

On today's episode Geraldine Lavin teaches us all about the blue vervain. She wrote an excellent monograph on this invaluable plant ally, which you can find HERE. "It is generally agreed upon in the herbal community that Blue Vervain is the herb for uptight, fanatical, type A personalities. Many herbs have specific organ affinities, whereas blue vervain seems to have more of specific mental state. Thomas Easley says blue vervain is for "tight-necked, over-achieving, list-makers, who can't ask for help." Matthew Wood adds that Blue Vervain is for "people who make lists…of other peoples faults." He also notes that Blue Vervain people tend to be "strong above, weak below" meaning that they can be strong in words, weak in action - very intense and judgmental of others, often holding themselves and those close to them to almost unattainable standards." - Geraldine Lavin For more monographs: www.herbrally.com/monographs Let us know what you thought of the episode!

This recording is from the NorthWest Herb Symposium. Jay and Bridget Johnson of Tree Farm Communications host this excellent event each August in Coupeville, WA. Their next event is August 23rd - 26th, 2018. LEARN MORE CLASS DESCRIPTION Epigenomics is the study of epigenetic changes in gene expression that occur without commensurate changes in DNA base pair sequences; these changes may be transmissible to subsequent generations. Recent research in the emerging field of Epigenomics strongly supports the probabilities of therapeutic transgenerational herbalism. Epigenomics is developing in response to research showing very convincingly that many cancers are initiated and controlled by transmissible extrachromosomal mechanisms.
