One of my dearest friends and herbal sister, Aspen, joins me to chat about our love for herbal medicine, her journey with herbs, herbalism in the home, family and personally. We discuss what we have been up to seasonally with herbs here in Spring in Australia. We touch on comfrey, herbal oils, herbal juices & why local herbs are sometimes the best. I hope this chat inspires you to delve into the empowering and fulfilling world of plant medicine and find a herbal sister/s. We discuss herbalism in the community and our very affordable and accessible herbal medicine making workshop coming up on the 12th November in Wingham at the Womenkind Collective bookings via the link there or here You can find Aspen's beautiful herbal products at her Website and on Instagram Aspen and Pete's family business Medijelly and amazing medicinal manuka honey products on the Website and Instagram HEART HEARTH EARTH links: Get $10 off Saturee supplements link liver and oyster capsules as well as collagen and casein powder Greener Pastures Cod Liver Oil link Social Media Links: Instagram Facebook
Amy from Amy Armstrong Health shares with us an extremely information dense and important aspect of achieving holistic thriving health.
Bringing both personal lived experience and a wealth of knowledge and research, Amy explains the importance of mineral balance in our body and diet. Why we may actually not need more iron but a better balance of nutrients. This is important information for anyone at any life stage but especially if you've received test results from the GP or Obstetrician saying you have low ferritin (one form of iron).
Again it ties back into traditional wisdom and nutrient dense foods and whole food supplements.

Welcome to the Heart Hearth Earth podcast where we gather around the metaphorical hearth to share ideas and conversations on matters of the Heart, Hearth and Earth.
Cross pollinating as we span our wings connecting the threads of ancestral wisdom. I believe ancestral wisdom provides a road map to a regenerative culture, contributing to thriving communities, healing and health.
