If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably heard me say that herbalism is about so much more than, “Take this herb for that problem.” To me, reciprocal connection with the web of life is at the heart of herbalism and this episode with Laura Gilmour illustrates that beautifully.You’ll hear stories about white pine, as well as the beautiful ways Laura has developed a relationship with this tree over time. As Laura points out, she isn’t a clinical herbalist and this episode isn’t about giving you lists of ways that white pine can be prescribed as medicine. What it will give you is inspiration for how you can deepen your relationship with the plants that give so generously to us. I also really like Laura’s parting thoughts about finding your way as an herbalist and her wisdom about failure, so don’t miss those.By the end of this episode, you’ll know:► The easiest way Laura’s found to harvest super-nutritious pine pollen► The culinary principle that guided Laura in the creation of her best-selling spice mix► The cultural and historical significance of white pine► How to find your own niche in herbalism► Why embracing failure is so important to your growth as an herbalist► and so much more…For those of you who don’t already know her, Laura Gilmour is a forager, herbalist, and business owner living near Dwight, Ontario, Canada. Laura has a passion for herbalism, naturalist studies, homesteading, and ancestral living skills that connect us to our food and the land in the most human of ways. Laura runs Wild Muskoka Botanicals, which produces artisan wild foods and cocktail products. It exists to reconnect people with the natural world and to promote wellness and fun by incorporating wild plants back into people’s modern lives. She also teaches foraging and herbal medicine classes in the Muskoka area from an animist and relationship-based perspective.If you’d like to hear more from Laura, which I highly recommend, then head to the show notes where you can get easy links for her website and social media channels.

In this episode, I’m sharing three ways to win over the herbal naysayers in your life.Here’s the backstory. Last fall, I sent a survey to my newsletter subscribers to ask them what was on their herbal minds. One of the responses I saw most often went something like this: “Help!

I listened… and here are my three best tips, compiled just for you.After listening in, you’ll know:► Why cultural beliefs about herbs changed dramatically in the first half of the 20th century in the U.S.► Why there’s no single approach to dealing with herbal skeptics (and how to increase the odds of reaching the skeptics in your life)► The one way to almost guarantee you won’t influence your skeptic’s opinion of herbs (and what to do instead)► The power of the pleasure principle and how you can use it with your skeptic► and more…----Get full show notes and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comFor more behind-the-scenes of this podcast, follow @rosaleedelaforet on Instagram!The secret to using herbs successfully begins with knowing who YOU are.
