Season 5 Episode 252
Do you ever wonder how to safely use herbal medicine at home? Whether it’s tinctures, teas, powders, or capsules, figuring out the right dose can feel a little overwhelming, especially if you’re just starting out.
In this week’s Pantry Chat, I’m joined by Dr. Patrick Jones from HomegrownHerbalist.net to break it all down in a simple, practical way.
We’re covering:
🌿 The pros and cons of different herbal preparations (tinctures, teas, capsules, powders, and salves)
🌿 How to safely dose herbs for adults, children, and even animals
🌿 The three big safety checks every herbalist (and mom!) needs to know before giving herbs
🌿 Which herbs are safe for daily, long-term use, and which ones should only be used short-term
🌿 Real-life stories from both the clinic and the homestead on how herbs can make a big difference in emergencies and everyday health
Herbal medicine doesn’t have to feel intimidating. With a little know-how, you can confidently use herbs to support your family’s health, without second-guessing if you’re “doing it wrong.”
