Connecting with Plants to Reconnect with Ourselves | Featuring Erika Galentin

This week on Everything You Didn't Know About Herbalism, we are joined by the renowned Clinical Herbalist, wellness mentor, and our long-time friend, Erika Galentin. Join Thomas and Erika as they share a wholesome and lasting conversation on the natural healing intelligence of the human body, the externalization of power associated with Western medicine, the troubling misconception that herbs are synonymous with pharmaceuticals, and how herbs are not solutions to swallow, but connections to the world around us that can help us understand ourselves. As always, we thank you for joining us on another botanical adventure and are honored to have you tag along with us on this ride. Remember, we want to hear from you! Your questions, ideas, and who you want to hear from are an invaluable piece to our podcast. Send us an email at [email protected] to let us know what solutions we should uncover within the vast world of herbalism next.  🌼 Erika Galentin is the Lead Creatrix and Clinical Herbalist at Sovereignty Herbs, as well as the host of the Herbal Practice Connexion (HPX) and the Herbal Sensorium podcast.
