218 - Shay Grant - An Herbalist's Guide to the Medicinal Power of Plants

The more I learn about indigenous and traditional approaches to well-being, the more I understand that humans ARE nature, not something outside or above it. Shay Grant, an herbalist and yoga teacher who relocated to the UK from Canada, operates from a similar POV.  As Anne discovers, the land around us has the power to enhance our mental and physical well-being. All we have to do is stop and smell the roses. Or the gorse. And here's the great thing: your locale doesn't matter. Urban, suburban, or rural, you're never more than ten steps from experiencing the emotional and physical support that plants provide.  Shay believes in creating an empowering relationship between our bodies and the world around us, and her training perfectly combines ancient wisdom and modern scientific discovery. "I would not choose a world without modern medicine. I would not choose to live in that world," Shay asserts.  GUEST BIO Shay Grant (she/her) is a Canadian yoga teacher and Medical Herbalist living in the UK.
