289: Using Herbs To Support Chronic Skin Conditions w/ Cassandra Quave, PhD

Let’s bust a myth: Just because something is natural (including food, nutrients, and herbs) doesn’t mean it’s safe or free from triggering a reaction. Yes, you can react to herbal remedies—and it’s time we talked about it honestly. Herbs can be very helpful, but you need to be aware of potential issues before assuming you won't react to them.To help unpack the science behind botanicals, I’m joined by Dr. Cassandra Quave, a medical ethnobotanist, professor, and award-winning author of The Plant Hunter. She’s a leading expert in medicinal plants and drug discovery who gives it to us straight about what “natural” really means when it comes to your health.⭐️ Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references 👉 http://www.skinterrupt.com/289- Join me in the conversation at http://instagram.com/jenniferfugo - Stop My Rashes FREE eGuide - https://www.skinterrupt.com/stopmyrashes-pod- Fix your skin using Jennifer’s method (trusted by 900+ skin rash warriors)!
