105 - Herbal Support Through Repression

This episode shares a recording of a talk by Nicole Rose (she/her) at the Together We Resist Feminist Congress in Basel, Switzerland. About the talk: This workshop is for anyone experiencing repression due to their work for liberation, as well as those involved in anti-repression and solidarity efforts. It explores how state and systematic repression impact the nervous system, body, and overall health, and how herbal medicine can offer support in both the short and long term. From calming acute anxiety to rebuilding after burnout, trauma, or imprisonment, herbs have a vital role to play in sustaining resistance. The session shares practical examples of herbal solidarity from supporting people post-arrest and in court, to navigating incarceration and healing after release. Grounded in lived experience and collective care, this workshop aims to nourish movements as much as bodies.Links & resources from this episodeTogether We Resist - https://femkongressbs25.noblogs.org/Herbalism, PTSD & Traumatic Stress Course – https://solidarityapothecary.org/herbalismandptsdcourse/Soothing Survival: A Five-Part Email Series on Herbal Support for Fight, Flight, Freeze & Beyond – https://solidarityapothecary.org/soothingsurvival/Find them all at solidarityapothecary.org/podcast/Support the showMusic from Sole & DJ Pain – Battle of Humans | Plant illustrations by @amani_writes | In solidarity, please subscribe, rate & review this podcast wherever you listen.
