Ethnobotanist: "We're Losing Shamanic Wisdom" — The Secrets Of The Amazon | Mark Plotkin Ph.D. #539

Dr. Mark Plotkin has spent nearly four decades in the Amazon, apprenticing to the shamans whose plant knowledge has quietly shaped modern medicine. He arrives with a proposition that connects a burning bush in the Sinai, a coffee forest in East Africa, and a rainforest pharmacy we have barely begun to read. We explore the fascinating world of ethnobotany, plant-human interactions, and the profound impact of indigenous wisdom on modern science and conservation. Discover how ancient plant medicines and modern technology can help us understand and protect our planet. | Mark Plotkin Ph.D. | ►Website | https://markplotkin.com/ ►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/docmarkplotkin ►YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@dr.markj.plotkin3087 ►Listen to The Plants of the Gods Podcast | https://markplotkin.com/podcast/ This episode is sponsored by ►Metal Mark Gold Aurum Collectable Art | ⁠https://mtlmrk.com/⁠►Korrect Life | ⁠https://korrectlife.com/ | Aubrey Marcus | ►Website | ⁠⁠https://www.aubreymarcus.com/ ►Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/aubreymarcus ►Facebook |⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/AubreyMarcus/ ►X |⁠ https://x.com/aubreymarcus ►Substack: https://www.aubreymarcus.com/blogs/substack ► Love To The Seventh Power: ⁠https://chakaruna.com/collections/books⁠ Subscribe to the Aubrey Marcus podcast: ►iTunes |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apple.co/2lMZRCn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ►Spotify |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ►IHeartRadio |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Partner with the Aubrey Marcus Podcast | https://www.aubreymarcus.com/pages/booking
