Cultivating Resilience with Home Herbalism - Kami McBride

Cultivating Resilience with Home Herbalism - Kami McBride

Author: Amber Magnolia Hill June 15, 2020 Duration: 1:21:14

Relearning ancestral skills is the best antidote to the fear and chaos of these times. Let's recreate a culture of simple home healing and feed the river of resilience so that all may drink from it.

Check out Kami's wonderful online course Handcrafted Healing Herbal Oils.

IN THE INTRO:

  • Cultivating self and community sufficiency

IN THE INTERVIEW:

  • How herbs help us ground into embodiment

  • The screen needs to not be the only decompression space

  • Decreasing susceptibility to our toxic culture

  • Herbalism is human intelligence weaving together with the intelligence of plants in order to heal

  • The cultural energy is mired in fear and chaos and information overload- In Ayurveda, what we are experiencing right now is classic Vata derangement

  • The tight interplay between the nervous and immune systems

  • Restoring our covenant with the earth that gives to us so generously- elderberry is out of stock everywhere, but the earth is always making more! (no need to hoard)

  • The deeply restorative medicine of St. John's Wort oil- the one herbal remedy neither one of us would ever want to be without

  • How seemingly innocuous over-the-counter medications up our inflammatory markers and lower our immunity

  • What happens when you bring a bottle of herbal oil to a gathering
