Meghan is a wealth of knowledge about home herbalism and exploring herbs through tastes and senses. In our chat we cover so many topics including embodied herbalism, women’s history with the plants and healing, her seven taste system, reclaiming our inner authority and incorporating intuition into our herbal practises. We touch on our ancestral remembering of the plants, kitchen herbalism and even how to introduce kids to herbal remedies!
