Building Your Herbal Apothecary: with Clinical Herbalist Mary Colvin, RH (AHG)
Description
I had the pleasure of chatting with Mary Colvin, a clinical herbalist, mama, new grandma, and owner of Ancestral Herbology. Mary shares her journey into herbal medicine, from her early days in gardening to overcoming debilitating back pain through plant-based remedies. We delve into the significance of clinical herbalism, the role of sustainability in herb harvesting, and Mary's new book, 'The Herbalist's Guide: How to Build and Use Your Own Apothecary.' Tune in to learn about the magic of herbs, the importance of proper training, and how you can become empowered to take control of your own health with natural remedies!
