Commonwealth Podcast For Holistic Herbalism

This week we do a lightning round of “minigraphs” on some of our favorite herbs. We started by taking a look at what we’ve got on our herb shelf (okay . . . *shelves*) in the kitchen right now, and selecting a few semi-randomly until our 45 minute timer went off.We covered reishi, catnip, mugwort, heather, st john’s wort, and za’atar (which is a spice blend, but totally still counts – right?). So give it a listen and meet some of our best friends!Mentioned in this podcast:Our Wedding Tattoo Herbs – including elder, betony, tulsi, bladderwrack (seaweed), pine, yarrow, sage, and marshmallow.Quintessential Arts – purveyor of fantastic plant ally jewelryBehave, by Robert Sapolsky – Katja’s current book / research fascinationCanaan Palestine – our favorite source for za’atar (when we’re not mixing our own)And here’s everything else in the way of loose dry herbs on our shelf right now:ashwagandhaangelicaelecampanetulsigingerlindenchamomilecalamusorange peelplantainschizandramatehawthornmotherwortself-healuva ursibe
