EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Can herbs retain their vibrant colors, potent flavors, and medicinal properties for longer periods? Absolutely! Join me, Demetria Clark, as we explore the remarkable process of freeze-drying herbs, also known as lyophilization.  This advanced preservation method rapidly freezes fresh herbs and then removes moisture through sublimation in a vacuum chamber, preserving heat-sensitive nutrients and minimizing oxidation. You'll learn how freeze-drying can extend the shelf life and potency of your herbal preparations, making them more effective and cost-efficient, whether you're crafting teas, tinctures, or culinary blends. But that's not all! We'll also reflect on the evolving practices in herbalism, from traditional drying techniques to the now widely accepted microwave drying. Discover how adapting herbal practices can make herbal care more accessible and affordable for everyone, from clients facing housing instability to those maintaining community gardens. Plus, learn about our tool rental program that supports the sustainability of these gardens. Tune in for practical tips, insights, and a deeper understanding of how modern methods can enhance your herbal practice and better serve your community.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION

Embark on an expedition into the verdant world of herbalism, as we weave together your personalized Materia Medica—an indispensable herbal companion. With my guidance, you'll learn to meticulously document the myriad aspects of medicinal plants, from their botanical intricacies to the profound experiences they bring to your life and practice. Picture a tapestry of vivid illustrations and detailed notes, each thread representing an herb's therapeutic potential, ready to be tailored to the unique weave of your community's needs. Whether through the charm of pen on paper or the swift click of a keystroke, your growing repository of herbal wisdom awaits. In this episode's heart, we unravel the complex dance of herbal actions and their impact on our well-being. Imagine understanding the subtle cues of adaptogens in the symphony of stress relief or the gentle caress of anti-inflammatories on inflamed tissues. With every story shared—be it the resilience of Elderberry or the calming embrace of nervines—I'll guide you through the landscape of choosing the right botanical allies. But with great power comes great responsibility; we'll navigate the pivotal considerations of herbal practice, where safety and knowledge coalesce. From the delicate balance in serving different populations to the solidarity in supporting ethical suppliers, together we'll champion a practice that's as conscientious as it is curative.

Dana Hutchinson was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune condition called Lichen Sclerosus in 2012 shortly after learning her mother was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

With Western harsh topical steroids and estrogen creams making things worse and covering up underlying systemic issues, Dana looked to eastern medicine to begin repairing her condition, and within 3 months, she began to feel vital, hopeful, and motivated that recovery was possible. 

In one year, Dana’s extreme case of LS was in full remission. Now supporting LS clients for over a decade with comprehensive herbal medicine protocols, Dana has produced a potent herbal oil clinically tested and formulated to target the debilitating symptoms of LS.

A big THANK YOU to Dana for creating this educational video on how to use herbs to help with Lichen Sclerosus.
