From Jungle to Shelf: The Medicine Hunter Story
from ShelfSense: Stories Behind Our Stuff · host Cynthia Barstow
In Jungle to Shelf: The Medicine Hunter Story, I sit down with Chris Kilham—and Gen Z voice Samira Krol—to trace the remarkable journey of botanicals from remote forests and indigenous communities to the products we find on our shelves. Chris shares how decades of global exploration uncover plants with real health potential, and why ethical sourcing and respect for local knowledge matter just as much as the benefits themselves. Together, we connect his adventures to your everyday choices—because what’s on your shelf has a story, and sometimes, it starts far away from the store.Send us Fan Mail
