Here's some of what we talk about in our conversation…

  • What it means to live a seasonal lifestyle

  • Some of the basic energetics and elements of each season

  • How the seasons are reflected in the seasons of our wombs

  • Why winter is connected with the water element

The season you can fill your well and replenish after the more outward and expansive seasons of spring and summer? There's so much medicine the winter has to offer and we dive right into it in my interview on The Herbal Womb Wisdom Podcast.

Food As Medicine- Making Herb-Infused Bone Broth

Food as medicine is one my favorite subjects and in this episode I share my recipe for “bone broth plus”- a combination of herbs, seaweed, medicinal mushrooms, and veggies that yields a very potent brew. I make this regularly during the fall and winter months and is a one of the major ways I get immune herbs into my life.
