What if you could be the healer your community is waiting for?


The Herbalist’s Path is a podcast for herbalists, students of herbal medicine, and plant-loving practitioners who are ready to deepen their skills and confidence. Herbalism isn’t just about memorizing plants. It’s about understanding how and why they work, learning to think critically, and applying plant medicine thoughtfully with real people.


Hosted by clinical herbalist and educator Mel Mutterspaugh (Mountain Mel), this show blends traditional plant wisdom with modern clinical understanding, grounded in real-world experience and ethical community care.


You’ll hear solo episodes that break down herbal concepts in a clear, practical way, along with conversations with herbalists, educators, farmers, product makers, and healers who are actively shaping the future of herbal medicine. Together, we explore clinical reasoning, safety, formulation, sustainability, and what it really means to grow into the role of a community herbalist.


Because herbalism isn’t about perfection. It’s about practice, connection, and reclaiming healing knowledge that belongs to all of us.


Whether you’re just getting started or ready to serve as a healer in your community, subscribe and walk your herbal path with intention and confidence.

]]> Your liver is working every minute to filter toxins, balance hormones, metabolize fats, and support over 500 functions in your body.

There’s a moment in most herbalist’s journey when working with plants stops feeling like a fun curiosity and starts feeling more like responsibility.

Your remedies work. People notice. And suddenly, friends, family, and community members are asking you for deeper help. Not just a salve or a tea, but real support for chronic issues, complex patterns, and long-standing health concerns.

In this episode of The Herbalist’s Path, Mel talks about that pivotal shift. The moment when integrity matters more than confidence, and when memorizing more herbs no longer feels like enough.

You’ll hear why true herbal confidence doesn’t come from stacking more books or collecting more plant facts, but from learning how the body actually works, how to assess what’s really going on beneath the surface, and how to think critically about which herbs, preparations, and lifestyle shifts are truly supportive for the person in front of you.

This episode is for herbalists who care deeply about doing this work well. For those who feel the weight of responsibility when people trust them with their health, and who want to meet that responsibility with skill, compassion, and integrity.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by internet herbalism, conflicting advice, or the pressure to sound confident before you feel ready, this show will feel grounding and reassuring for you.


What you'll hear in this episode:

  • The emotional shift from hobbyist to responsible herbalist
  • Why memorizing herbs doesn’t build real confidence
  • How understanding the body changes everything about herbal recommendations
  • What it actually means to think like an herbalist

Clinical Herbalist Brittany Williams' Honest Answer After 25+ Years You can study herbs for years, read all the books, memorize the properties… but none of it replaces working with real people. None of it builds your intuition the way practice does, and it definitely doesn't come from AI.

If you've ever wondered whether herbs really work or doubted your abilities as an herbalist, this conversation with clinical herbalist Brittany Williams of Eudemonia Herbs is going to feel like a deep exhale. Brittany shares her 25-plus year journey and gets real about what it takes to grow as an herbalist, why nuance matters, and how experience shapes confidence in ways no algorithm ever could.

What's in this episode:

  • Brittany's magical apothecary discovery at Smile Herb Shop
  • The "friends, family, and fools" phase of building confidence
  • Why herbs work (and when they don't): quality, dosage, and matching
  • Meeting people where they are vs. gatekeeping herbalism
  • How herbal education creates a ripple effect in communities
  • Starting somewhere is better than starting nowhere

Chanchal began her journey in herbalism and took that deep plant wisdom right into cancer research and care. We talking about how herbs can play a crucial role in supporting patients through their cancer journeys, from reducing treatment side effects to helping those in end-of-life stages find peace.  

We also get real about the politics of food, and how the system is set up to keep us sick. Good nutrition should be a right, not a privilege, ya know?  It was truly a beautiful and inspiring conversations to have.

In a world where health care is often a maze of complicated decisions, Chanchal shows us how herbs can offer patients not just physical relief but emotional and spiritual comfort as well. 

Whether you’re an herbal enthusiast, someone touched by cancer, or just someone interested in alternative healing paths, you won’t want to miss this one.

Chanchal has an excellent new book out, Holistic Cancer Care, where she brings together her decades of research and hands on practice helping those with cancer care, and  end of life times. Grab the book here.

A pediatric neurologist, author, and holistic wellness advocate, her insights about plant medicines, neuroplasticity, and the profound connection between mind, body, and nature left me awe-inspired.

Exploring ancient wisdom, Dr. Maya highlighted the potential of plant medicines in our modern world. Notably, she emphasized that connecting with plants can be as transformative as consuming them, likening it to a dance with nature.

 

A standout moment was our exploration of "quantum dosing." Dr. Maya introduced me to "Quantum Drops ," master plant products created through a sacred process. These drops act as a tonic, offering the healing power of plants through vibrational connection. This revelation shifted my perspective on how plants impact us.

 

Throughout our conversation, Dr. Maya shared stories illustrating the transformative power of plant medicines.

As moms, we're always on the lookout for natural remedies to keep our families healthy, and herbs are a great solution. We discuss the cooling properties of herbs and their ability to combat excess heat in the body.

Peppermint is a refreshing herb that aids digestion and relaxes the muscles of the digestive tract. Marshmallow root, with its gelatinous mucilage, provides relief and hydration to inflamed skin, making it perfect for sunburns. Hibiscus, with its antioxidants and vitamin C, is a popular choice for cooling down and improving blood flow. We also explore the idea of creating herb-infused popsicles as a fun and nutritious way to keep kids cool.

If you're new to herbs, don't worry. Starting with just one herb and exploring its uses can build a solid foundation of herbal knowledge. And if you're looking for more recipes and ideas, consider joining the Herb Safe Kids Club (Coming Soon), where we focus on herbs that are beneficial for both kids and adults. 

So stay hydrated, find ways to stay cool, and embrace the vibrant and energetic summer season with the help of herbs. Cheers to a refreshing and healthy summer!

As I prepare to reopen Apothecary Momma, I've been reflecting on how herbalism has positively impacted my life, family, and overall well-being.

Let's talk about the magic of herbs. They always seem to appear just when we need them most, like little superheroes with their healing powers. It's not some mystical belief; I've witnessed this phenomenon countless times on my herbal medicine journey. From lungwort curing my bronchitis to chamomile calming my daughter's nerves, plants possess an innate wisdom that leaves me in awe.

Herbal medicine empowers us to take control of our well-being and navigate a flawed and corrupt healthcare system. It's about knowing when to turn to conventional medicine and when to rely on natural remedies. I want all moms to experience this profound sense of empowerment.

Passing down herbal knowledge to our children is incredibly rewarding. When my daughter confidently identifies plants for ailments or asks for specific remedies, it fills me with joy. By teaching them ancestral wisdom, we set them up for a lifetime of holistic well-being and equip them to thrive in a world where healthcare systems often fail us. Herbal medicine is not only empowering but also sustainable. By embracing natural remedies, we reduce our reliance on harmful pharmaceuticals, benefiting both our bodies and the environment. It's a small yet significant step towards a healthier future for our children and the Earth.

Join me on this magical journey through Apothecary Momma, an online herbal mentorship program designed for moms like us. Together, we'll delve into the world of herbal medicine, learn about the power of plants, and create a supportive community. Let's help herbalism #spreadlikewildflowers and ensure that every family has the tools to thrive naturally.

Gut health plays a crucial role in neurological disorders, and Dr. Gibson highlights the significance of high-quality protein sources for healing. She suggests food sensitivity testing and seeking holistic practitioners for personalized interventions.

Addressing misconceptions, Dr. Gibson emphasizes a comprehensive approach, considering gut health, inflammation, and genetics. Trusting intuition and questioning medical advice is vital for chronic conditions.

Parents navigating their child's chronic illness often experience overwhelming emotions. Dr. Gibson stresses the need to address guilt, shame, and grief, offering insights on mental and emotional support.

While supplements and herbs can aid healing, a healthy diet is essential. Dr. Gibson recommends essential fatty acids and herbal approaches like cannabis, berberine, oregano oil, cinnamon bark, and ginger.

Regenerating Health supports children with chronic illnesses through a holistic approach. Dr. Gibson's line of supplements, including Cannab Calm, Omega Calm, and D Calm, promotes overall well-being and reduces inflammation.

Are you ready to learn some cool first aid tips for your little ones during this summer season? Well, I've got some great news for you because in this podcast episode, I'm going to share some valuable money-saving tips along with three awesome herbs that can come in handy in various first aid situations.

First up, we have plantain - and no, I'm not talking about the starchy banana-like thingy! This plantain is a herb that can provide short-term relief from bee stings, cuts, and splinters. It can also help with respiratory infections, sunburns, and burns. But wait, it gets even cooler - its leaves can also be used as cool band-aids! Kids will love it!

Next on our list is comfrey - the herb that's loaded with allantoin, a magical medicinal constituent that can regenerate skin cells. Comfrey is perfect for healing and repairing damaged tissue from cuts and scrapes, as well as sprains, strains, and broken bones. But hold on tight, my friends, comfrey should not be used internally by those with liver health issues. Safety first, peeps!

Last but not least, we have yarrow - a herb that's easy to grow in your garden or even found in the wild. Yarrow can be used for bleeding wounds, help fight off infection, and aid in wound healing. So basically, it's like having a little superhero in your herb garden!

(But Not Just for Kids) Silly parents, Lemon Balm is for kids!....Well, it’s for you grown-ups out there too. Lemon Balm is on my list of favorite plant friends not just because we share a name (Melissa officinalis is her given name), but also because it’s the perfect herb for this time of year. It’s a powerful ally against both those back-to-school germs and those back-to-school nerves. She is calming and soothing to both body and mind. 

Lemon Balm is a perennial herbaceous plant in the mint family and is now naturalized just about everywhere. The leaves have a mild lemon scent. During summer, small white flowers full of nectar appear. Being a relative of mint she is relatively easy to grow (but can be hard to contain). There’s lots of fun ways to use her as medicine. Keep your ears open for my Strawberry Lemon Balm Popsicle recipe; with those you won’t be able to keep this plant medicine out of your children’s tummy.

I hope you enjoy this small, but mighty episode.

]]> Mountain Mel Mutterspaugh Buzzsprout-8983802 Fri, 06 Aug 2021 02:00:00 -0700 3260 Interview, Healing 1 38 full false The Dandy Dandelion and Why She Deserves Better The Dandy Dandelion and Why She Deserves Better So a little while ago, my podcast editor requested an episode on dandelion (Taraxacum officinale). As an herbalist, I assume everyone knows all about dandelion because it’s such a stand out plant friend thanks to all that she has to offer us. Almost every herbalist I’ve interviewed seems to mention it, right back to my very first episode interviewing Missy Rohs of the Arctos School of Herbal & Botanical Studies. Missy loves dandelions! However, when I accidentally saw a commercial for “weed killer” starring an oh-so capable man lording over his unwitting prey, spray bottle in hand. News flash: we aren’t at war with the plants, people!


Far from it, in fact. So in this episode I familiarize you with some of the history and lore surrounding this wonderful plant friend. We’ll talk about how it got its name and how you can spot its many, many imposters. We’ll touch on one of the best way to get herbal medicine on board which is in your food. You are what you eat, right?

So sit back, relax, and lend an ear to learn the ins and outs of the oh so dandy Dandelion.

The sun is shining, the air is warming, it’s the time of the season for my favorite thing: GETTING OUTSIDE! WOO HOO! So many adventures await us around every corner. If you’re like me & my family, though, we play hard which can land us in some serious scrapes...and bites and bee stings and all kinds of crazy things! Luckily, nature has given us all these beautiful plants that can help us under those circumstances.

In this episode I tell you all about four absolutely must-know-and-identify, see-and-observe plants to have around when I'm getting outside for summer fun. Today’s featured friends are Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), Plantain (Plantago major) & (Plantago lanceolata), St John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum), and Arnica (Arnica montana), but before we get specific we must talk about the importance of proper plant identification and sustainable harvesting first.

So come with me down the Herbalist’s Path to epic and safe outdoor fun.

Jim McDonald Loves Sustainability, Teaching, and Weeds! What can we say about Jim McDonald? He’s quirky, funny, talented, knowledgeable, and kind. In this super-fun conversation, I get down and dirty with Jim talking about sustainability and conservation, stewardship, and how teaching has changed in the current, internet-driven world. And Jim shares with us some great stories and knowledge around one of his favorite groups of medicinal plant friends, weeds! You know, the plants that are everywhere because they are helpers no matter where they grow.

You can find Jim on Facebook, on Instrgram, and via both his websites, Herbcraft.org & Herbcraft.podia.com

In 1994, Jim McDonald's life changed when he drank tea from a wild plant he harvested from the land he lived upon.  Since those first sips of strange tea, his life in the woods and meadows of southeast Michigan has been centered on the plants & ecosystems of that land, and how he might share their virtues to restore wellness with those around him.  Jim's approach to herbcraft is deeply rooted in the land he lives upon, and blends traditional European influences with 19th century eclectic and physiomedical vitalism, which he conveys with story, experience, humor, common sense and lore to students, clients, random passersby and readers of his website www.herbcraft.org.  Jim is a community herbalist, a manic wildcrafter and medicine maker, and has been an ardent student

]]> Mountain Mel Mutterspaugh Buzzsprout-8516224 Thu, 13 May 2021 23:00:00 -0700 2823 Herbalism, Interview 1 32 full false An Herb Day Tribute to Cascade Anderson Geller An Herb Day Tribute to Cascade Anderson Geller HAPPY HERB DAY! How lucky I am to be able to live up here on Mt. Hood, a place with so much abundance of life especially in the Spring. In fact, this episode was recorded out in my local forested riverway. And as I watch the river wend its way through the landscape, I take a moment to reflect on my own Herbalist’s Path and the influential people who guided my way. Although I’ve been fortunate to study with some brilliant herbal teachers, there’s one woman that planted the seed of all seeds and my encounters with her brief, they profoundly shaped my journey as an herbalist and healer. That woman is Cascade Anderson Geller.

An herbal practitioner and educator for over 30 years, Cascade was an herbalist, teacher and passionate environmental activist. She was one of the first generations of herbalists to rejuvenate herbalism in the 70’s during a time when it had been almost entirely pushed into obscurity in the United States. Cascade was on the faculty of three naturopathic colleges in the US and has lectured widely throughout North America. She taught classes and led herb walks all around the world and closer to home in Oregon. Her sweet voice shared all sorts of wisdom, from plant uses to clinical pearls, to connection with place, to encouraging a strong sense of activism to protect our beautiful places from poisons and destruction. She was a cherished member of the herbal community until she passed into the light on Herb Day, May 4th, 2013.

In this episode I remember Cascade, the deep influence she had on me, and the connections that even now I find anew, forever bringing me closer to her spirit, one that I hope to carry on. So enjoy!

]]> HAPPY HERB DAY! How lucky I am to be able to live up here on Mt. Hood, a place with so much abundance of life especially in the Spring. In fact, this episode was recorded out in my local forested riverway. And as I watch the river wend its way through the landscape, I take a moment to reflect on my own Herbalist’s Path and the influential people who guided my way. Although I’ve been fortunate to study with some brilliant herbal teachers, there’s one woman that planted the seed of all seeds and my encounters with her brief, they profoundly shaped my journey as an herbalist and healer. That woman is Cascade Anderson Geller.

An herbal practitioner and educator for over 30 years, Cascade was an herbalist, teacher and passionate environmental activist. She was one of the first generations of herbalists to rejuvenate herbalism in the 70’s during a time when it had been almost entirely pushed into obscurity in the United States. Cascade was on the faculty of three naturopathic colleges in the US and has lectured widely throughout North America. She taught classes and led herb walks all around the world and closer to home in Oregon. Her sweet voice shared all sorts of wisdom, from plant uses to clinical pearls, to connection with place, to encouraging a strong sense of activism to protect our beautiful places from poisons and destruction. She was a cherished member of the herbal community until she passed into the light on Herb Day, May 4th, 2013.

In this episode I remember Cascade, the deep influence she had on me, and the connections that even now I find anew, forever bringing me closer to her spirit, one that I hope to carry on. So enjoy!

]]> Buzzsprout-8438574 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 23:00:00 -0700 1848 Herbalism 1 31 full false Nourishing Nettles: Medicinal Zing Worth the Sting Nourishing Nettles: Medicinal Zing Worth the Sting This episode is about Nettles. Yes, “those”nettles. Urtica diotica. The “stinging” ones. But there’s a ton of medicinal zing other than the (still medicinal) sting. How about a nettle tea? Or nettle Pesto? What!? 

Yeah! Nettles are actually one of the most nutrient  dense plants we have to work with in our world and they can be used as food and medicine in so many ways. It’s full of vitamins, minerals, protein, & chlorophyll. The benefits of nettle are far reaching from young to old, from a mommy-to-be to an allergy sufferer. Yes, even the sting can be helpful with inflammation in particular to musculoskeletal pain. Of course, stinging yourself for health benefits is not for the faint of heart, but if you try it, we’d love to hear about it! That sting can also make harvesting a little tricky. In this episode, I go over some things to keep in mind to keep both yourself and the plants safe. Check out a video on safely harvesting nettles here. So join me in taking the nasty out of the nettle because nettles are neato!

We discuss favorite books and favorite teachers. I also ask Elaine about favorite herbs like Calendula (Calendula officinalis) and Comfrey (Symphytum officinale). We speak of wonderful things going on at Elaine’s Herb School and explore some of the ways we adjust to shifting educational necessities of the world around us.

The author of several books on herbal medicine Elaine has been passionate about sharing her knowledge for over 30 years. Her latest book is Naked: Botanical Recipes for Vibrant Skin and Healthy Hair. Elaine is the Co-Director of Green Path Herb School, in Missoula, Montana, where she strives to inspire and empower students to remember their connection to the earth, the plants and their own healing process. She is a professional member of the American Herbalist Guild and teaches workshops and conferences, nationally and internationally. As a certified Instructor of the Natural Family Planning and Fertility Awareness Methods, Elaine has helped many couples to avoid or achieve pregnancy naturally. She has written numerous articles about her family’s journey with epilepsy and a special needs child. When not writing or teaching, Elaine is often found bent over an herb in her garden or marveling at small flowers in mountain meadows with her husband and sons.

Here at our home on Mt. Hood in Oregon, we had 21 inches of snow fall; places west are covered freezing rain. Jack Frost has certainly had his way with us all here, February 2021. Snow & ice covering places like Texas that are ill-prepared to handle such weather. Weel, we're here to help.  I want to share some delicious ways you can use herbs to keep you warm during a wild, crazy winter snow storm.

Herbs are amazing, especially the common culinary ones in your kitchen cabinet. The plants we talk about in this episode are commonly available and might already be in your kitchen. Some of the specific plants are Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), and Cayenne (Capsicum annuum). But how do we get these delicious herbs in our bodies? We getting in our kitchens and mix them up with still more killer ingredients like turmeric and black pepper, maple syrup and cardamom. We’ve got some tasty recipes to talk about like ginger tea, Curry, Golden Milk, hot cocoa that’s actually good for you and this 10-Spice Soup that will be a staple in your cold weather kitchen rotation (I know it is in mine!).

And bonus prize: did you know that chocolate has a whole host of health benefits? Yeah! Two great friends of mine, Dr Orna Izakson & Dr. Melissa Berry --both naturopathic doctors in the Portland area-- did a webinar all about it. Dr. Berry is the owner of Missionary Chocolates, the best vegan chocolate company in the land. Dr. Orna is a practitioner & educator. You can find out more about her practices

No, not Twizzlers. Nor Red Vines. Licorice root is our star today, and good for our bodies in so many ways. Glycyrrhiza glabra is the Latin name of this particular plant. The “Glycyrrhiza" part of the name actually means "sweet root" and what an amazing root it is. It has been used for thousands of years as a "harmonizing herb" in traditional Chinese medicine. It brings balance and it's really, really sweet and delicious. It can help make other formulations much more palatable because there are quite a few herbs that are pretty gross and nobody wants to taste them especially in our society where we really love sweet.

We’ll learn about the variety of properties that lend licorice so well to keeping our gut happy; licorice is demulcent, mucilaginous, and even a  great immunomodulator.  (Did you guys know that  60 to 70% of your immune cells come from your gut!?) And it’s so much more than just the gut; we have other body systems made up of the same mucosal tissue. So what’s good for our guts is also good for, say, our skin and respiratory systems.

So tune in and find out all about what licorice can do for a happier, healthier you.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Trust your gut,” right? There might be more truth in that statement than you might think. Our gut is about digestion --all about the power of our digestive organs to process and absorb what we eat while also being able to burn off waste products-- but there’s so much more to it. If our digestive fire isn’t burning up to snuff, unprocessed foods can cause inflammation, evidenced by things like hunger or bloating, indigestion, intestinal cramps, constipation, and gassiness. However, when our digestive fire is in balance, we see things like nutrient absorption, better metabolism, obviously better digestion, but also a sense of perception, cellular metabolism, and mental assimilation.Mental wellbeing and your digestive health are directly connected.

And wouldn’t you know it, but there’s a variety of herbs that can help fire up that internal furnace and get that digestive motor revved up. Our featured plant guests on this episode are garlic (Allium sativum), horseradish (Armoracia rusticana), ginger (Zingiber officinale), cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), & cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanni). These are all delightfully delicious pantry items so good in so many dishes. We talk about some of the ways to get this medicine to your gut with food. Yes! Food as medicine. Brilliant! With a few mindful choices, we can be good to our guts so they can be good to us.

]]> Mountain Mel Mutterspaugh Buzzsprout-7361248 Tue, 19 Jan 2021 02:00:00 -0800 1772 Herbs, Digestion 1 25 full false 3 Herbs for Inflammation in the Gut 3 Herbs for Inflammation in the Gut Hey, first podcast of 2021! Since the whole world is hollering “New year, new you!”,  I figured I'd talk about how you can work on healing your body from the inside out. So I'm just going to share with you a few of my absolute favorite herbs that I love to turn to when I have issues of inflammation in the gut. Our gut health is absolutely essential to healthy immune function, emotional wellbeing, and overall vitality of your entire body. Today, there's over 3 million Americans with irritable bowel syndrome and there are so many others suffering from inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, skin conditions, all of the “-itis” issues, and sometimes inexplicable auto-immune disorders. It’s clear we have major problems going on and you know where it stems from? The gut.

You’ll find some overlap with previous episodes, but that’s because so many wonderful plants can help more than one condition. Isn’t that lovely? In fact, all three of the herbs featured here are multi-taskers: Chamomile (Matricaria recutita), Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), & Marshmallow (Althea oficinalis). We talk about how these herbs act to coat & soothe the smooth tissues of your gastrointestinal tract and how multiple body systems can benefit from the same herb because of similar tissues. 

Of course, there are many other herbs that can help with inflammation --plantain, calendula, ginger, turmeric. I just really want to urge you to make mindful choices and to remember to be good to your gut so it can be good to you. Make sure you

I don’t know about you, but holiday merriment and comfort food indulgence have left my digestion a bit questionable. So I figured we would do a little episode all about gut health and why it's so important in our every day. Because we all know that it's directly connected to the health of our brain, the health of our immune system, and just our overall health and well-being.And I’ve got great news! There are herbs that can help you keep your digestive system in tip top shape.

Bitters are really great because they help treat your body as an integrated whole, and you can use as a preventative medicine, even. Hopefully, after hearing this, you can really see that the use of bitters is critical to your gut health... and to your overall health. There's an awful lot of magic and power in these incredibly beautiful and precious plants. And today I figured we'd take a little bit of time to chat about some of my favorites: Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), Dandelion (araxacum officinale), Gentian (Gentiana sps.) including my hometown hero, Mountain Bog Gentian (Gentiana calycosa), & Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)

Whether these times have you suffering from stress, anxiety, lack of sleep, immune issues, or emotional trauma, adaptogenic herbs can offer a great helping hand to support you and your body during these trying times. Adaptogens produce an increase in bodily resistance and vitality. They help to support your body's metabolic function and they restore balance to your body and the systems within your body.

In this episode, we’ll explore exactly how the herbs, plants, & mushrooms work on all our body systems to help us maintain homeostasis, which is basically keeping your body in balance and stable within all of its systems. Then, we’ll talk about some of my favorite adaptogens that I use for myself: Reishi Mushrooms or Lingzhi (Ganoderma lucidum), Ashwagandha Root (Withania somnifera), and Tulsi or Holy Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum).

These are the medicines that work for me. Yours might be something different, finding the right adaptogen for you can help support your nervous system, support your immune system and your body's overall function to keep you as strong as can be and ready to navigate all of the challenges that life throws at you.

You know, we’ve spent a lot of time learning about plants. Have you ever stopped to wonder what we could learn from plants? Scott Kloos has. And the plants have taught him many lessons about such things as reciprocity, nurturing, and cultural evolution (just to name a few). Scott shares with us his deep passion for searching out ways to transition our current cultural relationship with plants (and all things, really) from a transactional way of being to a more relational way of being; a view in which we cease to view our landscape as a commodity and instead return ourselves as living participants within that landscape. Towards the end of the episode, Scott shares with us one of his plant songs (more of which can be found here). So let us all cast our glance up from the ground and outward, breathing in the bigger, wider world of plants. 

Scott Kloos is an herbalist, ceremonialist, author, wildcrafter, plant medicine maker, and aspiring integral ecologist. Although he says the plants founded it, he stewards The School of Forest Medicine as well as Cascadia Folk Medicine, maker of high-quality  herbal extracts from the native plants of the region. He authored  Pacific Northwest Medicinal Plants: Identify, Harvest, and Use 120 Wild Herbs for Health and Wellness. Through his writing and his facilitation of co-created spac

Culinary Herbs, Part 2: The Medicinal Side of the Sweets In Your Holiday Treats! Welcome back for the second part of our exploration of the herbal medicine chest in your cabinet! Last episode,we talked about savory culinary herbs and how they can help you & your family. In this episode, we’ll look at delicious spices that show up in our sweeter holiday fare although no herbs we’ll discuss are actually sweet. They do, however, have the spice & warmth complimented so well by more sugary profiles. Afterall, we can’t have a spice cake without the spices, can we? The plant friends featured here are Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum), Ginger (Zingiber officinale), and Peppermint (Mentha × piperita), well, all the mints, really.

Some of the commonalities shared by our herbs last time we see today too. Most are carminative, which means they “ease gasiness, bloating, & tummy upset”. That’s a must during  holiday feasting, right? Also helpful for the chilly weather days & nights, most are very warming, keeping our blood flowing so all those fingers and toes stay protected from the nippy air. Again, these plant friends have long historical traditions and lore.So we’ll touch on some historical points as well, often stretching all the way back to ancient Greece & Rome. How cool is that?

All of us at the Herbalist’s Path hope you have a good (if not necessarily conventional) holiday season in this crazy 2020.

Culinary Herbs, Part 1: Savory Medicine Already in your Pantry! Did you know that there might be a whole entire medicine chest in your kitchen cupboard?

As your cooking for the holidays, we’re going to look at what herbal goodness we can slip into your meals (savory) & treats (sweet, next episode!). In this episode, we’ll talk about savory culinary herbs and how they can help you & your family. Here we go to Scarborough Fair --parsley, sage, rosemary, & thyme (JK. No parsley today.) In actuality, the plant friends featured are Sage (Salvia officinalis), Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), Oregano (Origanum vulgare), Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus), Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum annuum), & Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) 

You’ll find some commonalities shared by all our herbs today. All of this episode’s herbs are carminative, which means they “ease gasiness, bloating, & tummy upset”. I’d say that’s a must during our holiday feasting, right? Additionally, many are antimicrobial, antioxidant, astringent, and/or toning for a few different body systems.

One of the coolest things about these plant friends is the long culinary and medicinal traditions behind them! Black Pepper was even used as currency once upon a time! So we’ll touch on some historical points as well, often stretching all the way back to ancient Greece & Rome. How cool is that?

All of us at the Herbalist’s Path hope you have a good (if not necessarily conventional) holiday season in this crazy 2020.

As your cooking for the holidays, we’re going to look at what herbal goodness we can slip into your meals (savory) & treats (sweet, next episode!). In this episode, we’ll talk about savory culinary herbs and how they can help you & your family. Here we go to Scarborough Fair --parsley, sage, rosemary, & thyme (JK. No parsley today.) In actuality, the plant friends featured are Sage (Salvia officinalis), Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), Oregano (Origanum vulgare), Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus), Cayenne Pepper (Capsicum annuum), & Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) 

You’ll find some commonalities shared by all our herbs today. All of this episode’s herbs are carminative, which means they “ease gasiness, bloating, & tummy upset”. I’d say that’s a must during our holiday feasting, right? Additionally, many are antimicrobial, antioxidant, astringent, and/or toning for a few different body systems.

One of the coolest things about these plant friends is the long culinary and medicinal traditions behind them! Black Pepper was even used as currency once upon a time! So we’ll touch on some historical points as well, often stretching all the way back to ancient Greece & Rome. How cool is that?

All of us at the Herbalist’s Path hope you have a good (if not necessarily conventional) holiday season in this crazy 2020.

]]> Mountain Mel Mutterspaugh Buzzsprout-6461953 Thu, 19 Nov 2020 12:00:00 -0800 1564 Herbs, Culinary Herbs 1 18 full false How Stress Can Lower Your Immune System How Stress Can Lower Your Immune System How does stress impact your immune system?

Have you ever been super stressed out, spread way too thin, and next thing you know, you’ve gotten sick (which certainly doesn’t help the stress!)? Well, stress and what it does to your body can really adversely affect your immune system. And right now-- post-election, pre-holidays, global pandemic-- we’re all worn out and worn down. But there are things we can do (and herbs we can use) to help our brains stay chill so our bodies can stay strong. There’s lifestyle habits we can use like yoga or deep breathing exercises, connecting with others (using other pathways when physical closeness isn’t an option), connecting with yourself, and getting outside!

There are herbs we can use to help too. The class of herbs I seek when I need body/mind support is Adaptogens. These herbs help our bodies to adapt to stressors, regulating and supporting our neuroendocrine & immune systems. Some nourish, some boost immune system. The herbs we’ll talk about in this episode are Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum) , and Ashwaganda (Withania somnifera)

Immune Stimulant Herbs, Antivirals, Antibacterials, What The Heck Are They & When Do I Need Them? We’ve all heard that we should take echinacea for a cold, or garlic is good for you, or elderberry. All of it’s true, but have you ever wondered why or how these plants work their magic? This episode is a big shout out to Immune Stimulatants! These virus & bacteria-fighting herbs ramp up your immune system to help fight illness. They are best employed at the beginning of symptoms, but can help through the duration too.

We’ll learn a bit about how the immune system works and some of the specific ways that broad spectrum compounds found in medicinal plants create a breadth of actions and applications. These compounds can potentially outsmart the bugs that have already outsmarted synthesized antibiotics and antivirals. And some of the plant friends --like garlic, onion, or ginger-- may already be in your kitchen! How cool is that!? (For more info on some specific herbs, check out Episode 10 “Herbs to Boost Your Immune System, Some of my Favs!”)

Immune stimulators are quick to act, but the effects are short-lived. Hence, they’re best used for short-term acute treatment or prevention. We’ll talk about the best ways to use them to protect your health and recover, but not over medicate (which, yes, you can do with herbs too).

But the best part is, in addition to putting cleaner medicine in your body, it’s cleaner for our planet too. At a time when synthetic medication is showing up in drinking water and in fish, these plants that you can grow or Mother Nature provides furnish medicine to which microbes can’t adapt and that returns to the earth as natural as it came.

In 2009 she became a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild.  Nicole has practiced, collected herbs, and taught since 2000, and has studied ecology, botany, and bioregionalism since 1995.

Nicole believes strongly in herbal medicine being “the people’s medicine”; she too, has a goal of putting “an herbalist in every home.” Nicole specializes in bioregional medicinal plants and her approach to wellness and herbalism in general blends together the ideas of permaculture on the land and holism in the body.
In this episode, we talk all things great and small; the changing face of herbalism education in the information age and the dilution of knowledge by streams of misinformation, to our fire cider friend, to Nicole’s current favorite herb, Tulsi (available here).

Through respiration, our oneness with trees becomes a manifest fact, and our communion with the oceans has immediate impact. The reality of the planetary whole reveals itself, with implications for all human life, through the circulation of the gases and the energy of the atmosphere. This vision underlies holistic healing as much as it does ecology. The anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system is a complex and beautiful embodiment of integration and wholeness.” ~~David Hoffmann, Medical Herbalism

There are various ways to think about the way herbs work and act on your respiratory tract.  Many of us are still dealing with the aftermath of the wildfire smoke, or some even still in the middle of it.  The lungs of our planet, and the lungs of our body are screaming together! And then we have the CoronaVirus. We all share the same air. It's so very important that we try to come together and help stop this virus by wearing a mask, washing our hands, and taking care of ourselves, our immune & respiratory systems. 

So let's talk about some of the herbs that can help us with our own lungs, and our collective lungs of the planet!

Althea (Marshmallow) (Althaea officinalis) 
Elecampane (Inula helenium) 
Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) 
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris)
Lungwort Lichen (Lobaria pulmonaria)

Legend & Lore of the Elder Shrubbery Beyond Elderberry! Legend & Lore of the Elder Shrubbery Ah, elegant Elder, the shrubbery with so much to give. Elderberry syrup is certainly a hot topic these days and rightfully so! Not only is this stuff is a powerhouse when it comes to boosting your immune system and fighting off viruses, it’s delicious too. I mean, with cold and flu season plus a global pandemic, it’s refreshing to have a medicine even the kids are happy to take.

But Elder is so much more than just berries for syrup. Even outside its clinical, medicinal properties, there is an abundance of history and lore surrounding the plant. It’s been presumed a conduit to the realms of fairies and the underworld; and these legends span across multiple cultures. Maybe that’s because this plant is exceptionally useful and it is EVERYWHERE. North America, Europe, Western Asia, Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and many pacific islands. It’s almost as if mother nature is begging us to use this plant!

Elder is a veritable “medicine Cabinet” ready for immediate use. From its roots to the stems, leaves, flowers, barks, and berries, there was always a way you could get medicinal benefits from Elder. It’s a shrubbery I love to see winter, spring, summer, and fall. It makes great medicine no matter the time of the year.

I’m 42, and About To Share Some of My Journey With You!!! It’s My Birthday!!! I’m 42, and About To Share Some of My Journey With You!!! Have you ever seen a butterfly wrestling to leave its chrysalis? It may seem like an unnecessarily arduous task, but as it works its new, rumpled body & wings out through a small opening, fluid is pushed into the wings, giving them strength & structure once dry. Without this proper distribution, the butterfly would not be able to fly. So you see, by nature, it is this very struggle that breathes a new life into the animal.

This episode is Mel Mutterspaugh's very own herbalist's path, told in her own words, on her 42nd birthday (ya know, life, the universe, and everything). This is the story of growth and struggle and joy and purpose. Mel's mission is to start a movement to inspire an herbalist in every home...again. A return to empowering anyone to find better health with ingredients from their kitchen cabinet to their own backyard. There is such a rich opportunity in this time of global upheaval for every one of us to become a little more self-reliant and, in the process, be kinder to ourselves and kinder to the planet. And Mel wants to help us all access the power of the plants!

Mel has always believed in doing what you love for a living, and for her, that means being surrounded by nature. During the years she spent volunteering and working as a hiking guide, Mel noticed that hikers often brought harsh toxic chemicals with them in backpacks and first aid kits. They were heading out to nature to soothe their souls, but had no idea how the plants surrounding them were able to heal them physically. It was this realization that inspired Mountain Mel’s Essential Goods. Mel wanted to create products that people would feel good about putting on their bodies as they went out and explored na

We both share a passion for plant medicine; on our separate herbal paths, our passions organically grew into our respective businesses with all the twists and turns that involves. But we stick close to source, remembering why we are here in the first place: to share nature’s medicine with the People! We talk about all sorts of great things including some of our favorite plant friends and books. We share some really practical information on how a plant becomes a healthy, usable product and ways you can get started in your own kitchen, on your own herbalist’s path. As Madelyn says, “You always have friends when you’re friends with the plants.”

Mickelberry Gardens is the vision of husband and wife team, Matt and Madelyn, who started backyard  beekeeping in Portland back in 2007. When Madelyn discovered that she was extremely sensitive to honeybee stings, their growing apiary moved to Troutdale where, within a year, Matt was working with 20 hives. 

Madelyn was already interested in garden medicine, medicinal plants, and home remedies. Her passion started with sustainable food production (because growing your own food is just cool!), then shifted to garden education (because more people feeding each other is even cooler!). Chance encounters with medicinal plants shifted her focus toward herbal medicine so she began experimenting with making infused honeys, beeswax salves, and other herbal products made with their own beeswax and honey. They officially started their

]]> Mountain Mel Mutterspaugh Buzzsprout-5718616 Sat, 03 Oct 2020 17:00:00 -0700 3768 Interview 1 11 full false Herbs to Boost Your Immune System, Some of My Favs! Herbs to Boost Your Immune System, Some of My Favs! It’s September 2020. We’ve been talking a lot about back-to-school stress and how to “braintain” with the help of herbal medicine. Our immune systems are probably already a little compromised by stress and emotional fatigue of living in this upside down era; now we get to move into cold & flu season whilst still battling a pandemic virus. Indeed, any cough or sneeze or sniffle puts anyone within earshot into a mild panic (did we mention that stress can compromise an immune system?).

In a time when almost everything seems out of control, today we’re going to talk about how you can be proactive with plant medicine to protect yourself from seasonal assailants. The herb friends we’ll discuss today are:

Garlic (Allium sativum) --so good for your immunity and digestive system. It’s a two’fer! Echinacea (Echinacea purpura) --such a beautiful plant to grow! And powerful preventative medicine.

Astragalus (Astragalus propinquus) --one word: “interferons”. So cool! Keep your ears open. Elder (Sambucus nigra) --this shrubbery (yeah, I said it) provides us layers of medicine, starting with elderflowers, then elderberries (check out this DIY Elderberry Syrup Kit and look below for links to recipes). 

These guys are often helpful for more than immunity, some are more preventative, some more curative.Different bodies react to herbs in different ways, so find out what works for you maybe with the help of a certified herbalist or naturopathic practitioner.

Our current time is so stressful and can bring on anxiety. And if you are on the West Coast of the US like we are, you’re probably engulfed in wildfire smoke and maybe you or friends & loved ones are worried about their homes and livelihood. So, in this episode, we’d like to share some plant friends with you that can help support your nerves, calming stress and tonifying your system, helping you learn to adapt to all the stressors that have been flung at us this year.

We’ll learn about adaptogenic herbs that help your body adapt to life’s various stressors whether they be emotional, physical, or spiritual. Ashwaganda is my favorite adaptogen; this herb is perfect for people who do too much. Holy Basil is another delicious adaptogen that is definitely a hug in a mug.

We’ll also discuss nervines which are a kind of herbs that acts on your nervous system. There are both stimulating and sedating nervines.

Calendula, my Friendula, is a magical wonder when it comes to skin issues. This beautiful plant can be used for any skin condition inflammation and is also antifungal. Great first aid for minor burns. Make yourself a Calendula flower oil infusion to keep with you all year long. 

Comfrey is a superhero of wound healing! It’s rich in allantoin,helping grow new skin cells. If you break off the stem of a comfrey plant, the moist allantoin-rich sliminess inside works wonders to cool and soothe your crispy skin.

Aloe is also rich in allantoin, magical slime-like no other! Aloe helps cool inflammation, heal wounds, and as an antifungal.There's a huge list of the things aloe can do for you, both inside and out.

Plantain is one of my absolute favorite plants. It’s an herb that l every human should know because it helps with so many different things!  I wrote in great detail about plantain over here. But we’ll just talk about summer skin issues. Plantain has this amazing ability to draw things out of the skin like splinters or thorns.

]]> There’s one herb that I wish everybody knew, especially you, because it’s awesome for first aid like bug bites, bee stings, cuts , scrapes, and all that,  gut health, tooth infections, and even respiratory health. The herb is Plantain. No, we’re not talkin’ bananas here. We’re talking about Plantago major.  A cool little plant that grows in your sidewalk cracks, along roadsides, and pretty much in all of the places that we as humans have come in to disrupt nature.

She shares precious lessons and memories of her grandparents who lived off of the land and were an incredible influence in her passion for plant medicine. They walked for miles, harvested their own food, and were often found making tinctures from the plants they found on their land in Alabama.

As our world is changing drastically right in front of our eyes, there is a lot to be learned from the way of living the way Alex's grandparents lived.

Being a part of the ecosystem and living in the woods, and getting to know the plants in their natural habitats is an integral part of connecting with the Earth and had a huge impact on the way Alex uses plants as medicine.

Alex is not only a teacher in her own school Tend and Flourish School of Botanicals, co-founded with Crystal Stevens, she runs Tending The WIld Botanicals & she’s also a teacher at the Columbines School of Botanical Studies in Oregon.

Alex’s school teaches people the basics of herbal medicine, how to make your own medicines in your kitchen, and soon she’ll launch a course on cultivating your own herbal medicine.

She speaks of making tinctures and teas with Passion Flower to help calm and soothe the nerves
