How to Forage and Make Herbal Remedies (Even as a Beginner)

In this episode of the Green Living Now podcast, I sit down with Amelia South, a talented forager and herbalist from Black Sun Farm in Connecticut. We dive into the fascinating world of wild plants and herbs, weaving in my own journey with medicinal herbs and Amelia’s deep knowledge of foraging. Amelia shares some amazing tips—like how common ‘weeds’ like dandelion and plantain are actually powerhouses of nutrition and healing—and practical advice for foraging fruits, nuts, and even medicinal mushrooms. We chat about how these wild plants can transform your health and why embracing herbal remedies is such a game-changer for natural living. Plus, we’ve got a little something special for listeners—a discount on Amelia’s online courses—and I’ll also share how you can join my free 7-Day Green Living Kickstart Challenge to start your own toxin-free journey.
