Kyle Denton answers with a resounding "YARROW"! He does teach us about the many virtues of yarrow in this video. But he also chats a bit about how we talk about plants.

WATCH HERE A note from Robin Rose Hi, Robin Rose Bennett here, storyteller, herbalist and green witch. I'm blessed to live on the edge of 3,000 acres of protected state forest in northern NJ. And to have been working with, teaching about, and learning from the plants and other plant people for over thirty years. I've learned that herbs are uniquely gifted in helping us heal body, mind, heart and soul. As we attune to their spiritual teachings, they help us deepen our relationships with ourselves, each other and the web of life. And it is a delight and honor to be part of the HerbRally community! When Mason invited me to contribute, I sat down in my medicine wheel and recorded this video as my first offering. I hope you enjoy this meditation with Avena sativa (Oatstraw) where I invite you to put down tiny roots and move like the plant, to have an experience of freedom, fluidity and earth connection. This meditation is also available in her classic herbal "The Gift of Healing Herbs". BUY THE BOOK Robin Rose Bennett is a story-teller, writer, and herbalist. She has been offering classes in Wisewoman Healing Ways: Herbal Medicine and EarthSpirit Teachings since 1986 - at herb conferences, festivals, clinics, medical and nursing schools, and most joyously, outside with the plants. Robin Rose shares herbal medicine with gratitude for the loving generosity of the plants and the magic, mystery, and beauty of the web of life. She is on the faculty of the New York Open Center and the Arbor-Vitae School of Traditional Herbalism, and is the author of two meditation mp3's and the books: Healing Magic- A Green Witch Guidebook to Conscious Living and The Gift of Healing Herbs- Plant Medicines and Home Remedies for a Vibrantly Healthy Life.

Learn more and register for The Botanical Resins Workshop Series Resins can be an overlooked substance when it comes to herbalism. They're common in aromatherapy, incense and perfumery, but what about the rest of their countless benefits? Resins can be used in balms, salves, liniments, creams, serums, massage oils, body butters and so on. The ancient systems of medicine treasured resins so much and often referred to them as "liquid gold," and "food of the gods". Resins have been prized over the ages for their use in beauty products and skin care preparations, and of course, for their aromas… We're excited to share an amazing new series – which is ALL about resins – from our friend Evan, founder of The Northwest School of Aromatic Medicine. It's called The Botanical Resins Workshop Series. In this free course he's making it a point to talk about the many different ways resins can be used. He'll help you see why resins are so precious and often have MORE medicine and aromatics than a lot of other botanicals you might be working with. He's also going to walk you through how to make infused resin oils and resin-based salves that can be used for superior first aid, skin care, and much more. Join this complimentary workshop and start watching the first lesson now. This fun and informative series is available for a limited time so be sure to sign up today! Hope you enjoy

Today's episode I let you know about an upcoming Plant Spirit Apprenticeship with Jean Schneider from Nativa Medica. LEARN MORE AND REGISTER January 2 - April 4, 2023 Why work with plant spirit? This is not the same as working with plant medicine, constituent medicine. Working with teas and tinctures for health is usually very far removed from working with plant spirit. You are using a plant, not working with a plant. When the plants know and trust you, they will do incredible things. One plant will help you to move through a place unnoticed, another helps you find your way home. One offers protection from certain difficult spirits, another plant reveals what is hidden. Plants that can open up our senses and psyche, while we are in relationship with them, can do incredible healing work. This relational work is not about ingesting constituents of plants/trees, it requires something more of us. LEARN MORE AND REGISTER Thanks for listening!

Missy talks all things Lobelia such as how to harvest, how to prep as a tincture, the cautions, benefits, effects and more! Lobelia is great for muscle aches, but it also works if you find yourself swirling down that "fight or flight" mode. Taking a low dosage of Lobelia during a panic attack, anxiety, or a stressfull situations can help you to take a deep breath, rest, digest and relax. Thanks for listening!

Today's episode is all about myrrh! With frequent HerbRally contributor, Heather Irvine. Heather has a fantastic new audio project that you should know about! It's called "Sound Wise about Medicinal Plants". LISTEN HERE Heather was super on board with the HerbRally Podcast and audio monographs right from the start. We were both looking for herbal learning to listen to while multitasking and before HerbRally weren't finding many resources, "just a few dry audiobooks about antioxidants written by and read by robots", says Heather. Obviously, things have come a long way with better audiobooks and great herbal podcasts. But Heather has started her own audio-lesson learning catalog: Sound Wise About Medicinal Plants She adds to it almost daily, with rich half-hour to 45-minute audio lessons on medicinal plants, some for a small access fee, and most are still free! You'll want to check it out soon though and subscribe to one of the free soundcasts, or check out a more specific topic too.
