EP26: Herbalism With Attitude Dec 03, 2019

Show notes

It’s round two with the Seed Sistas. Britain’s most irreverent herbalists.

For the past few years, they have been making waves in the plant community.

Overthrowing the colonialism that has turned herbalism from something we all used to do, into a profession where you’d think you need a PhD just to touch a plant!

Colourful, fun and full of vim (No, not the cleaning product), they discuss:

why plant medicine is for the people.
how they got threatened with jail time for selling a herbal balm.
why educating people in self-care and herbal rebellion is a revolutionary act.

Always a laugh, never tame and with firecracker energy that makes the Y2K firework display look positively drab.

The Seed Sistas are a joy to listen to and an inspiration for anyone who wants to wrestle control of their health back from Big Pharma, and government control.

Hold on to your knickers. Here we go…
