Herbal Medicine Guide: How Jane Barlow’s Be Your Own Shaman Can Help You Heal Naturally
What if the best medicine you’ll ever need is growing right outside your door?
On this week’s Better Health Bookshelf, I’m featuring the book Be Your Own Shaman: A Field Guide to Utilize 101 of the World's Most Healing Plants by Jane Barlow. Jane grew up learning about medicinal plants from her father, a botanist specializing in plant medicine. Now, she’s sharing that knowledge with the world, making it easy for anyone to build their own herbal apothecary at home.
In this episode, we talk about how healing plants can help with everything from digestion and circulation to brain fog and energy levels. Jane explains why we’ve lost touch with plant medicine, how modern healthcare keeps us dependent on pharmaceuticals, and what we can do to take control of our health naturally. She also reveals some of the easiest, most powerful herbs to start using today—including one that could stop a heart attack in seconds.
