Wild Yarrow Apothecary – Details, episodes & analysis

In the wellness industry, there are certain words and phrases we're not supposed to use, but there are also so many wonderful ways we can share our message. I've noticed a lot of fellow wellness content creators saying their posts keep getting taken down. While I can't say for sure, my guess is it often comes down to the language we're using.

In this episode, I share which words and phrases to avoid, why they might be flagged, and what to say instead.  So you can keep spreading your message safely, authentically, and with confidence.

Have you ever felt like you're chasing symptoms without really getting better? In this episode, I dive into the importance of uncovering the root causes of your health struggles, rather than getting stuck treating surface-level issues.

I'll walk you through the six foundational pillars that are often at the heart of chronic symptoms and imbalances. These pillars provide a clear framework for understanding why you may feel stuck with your health. 

By the end of this episode, you'll have a fresh perspective on how to approach your wellness journey with more clarity, confidence, and compassion for yourself. Whether you're brand new to holistic health or you've been working on your healing for years, this conversation will give you insights you can apply right away.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why looking for root causes creates real, lasting healing

• The 6 common pillars behind most health struggles

In this episode I talk about:

• Vitamin and mineral deficiency test.  This is the one I use.  It's geared for testing food intolerances, but it tests deficiencies, among other things.

I like to practise what I preach.  I think mental health is so important, and you should work on not having too much on your plate.  This week, I have a lot on my plate, and I decided not to record a full podcast episode.  I didn't want to skip a week, but I am sharing an older episode, one that was really popular.  If you haven't listened to it, I think it's a good one.  If you have listened, it will make a great refresher.  Next week, we will return to our regular schedule and post new episodes.  

In this episode, I talked about:

• Our Kits
• Our Membership 

I also talked about these books:

• The Modern Herbal Dispensatory, by Thomas Easley and Steven Horne
• Rosemary Gladstar's Medicinal Herbs a Beginner's Guide
• Body Into Balance by Maria Noel Groves

 I don't think perimenopause is talked about enough, and it almost seems like it's a taboo topic.  In this episode, I share perimenopause symptoms and holistic ways and herbs that may help them. I share what is helping with my perimenopause, and to be honest, it shocked me at first…until I did a ton of research on why it's working for me. 

I can't believe that I didn't mention Raspberry Leaf in this episode, but Raspberry Leaf is also really beneficial.  It helps to nourish, strengthen, and support the reproductive system.

Note:  In this episode, I talked about buying a portable sauna.  I did some further research, and I decided against it, because I don't want to breathe in a bunch of plastic.  So I am finding other ways to sweat, like long hikes.  

In this episode, I talk about my Herb of the Month Membership.  Even if you have no interest in becoming a member, I would still listen, because I am still talking a lot about herbs in this episode.  

I talk about why I started the membership, what the membership entails, how I pick an herb each month (which is actually how 'we' pick herbs), I briefly talk about my amazing member that I am super grateful for, and then I talk about things that either surprised me or I loved about some of the herbs that we learned about.  

In this episode I talked about book, 'The Gift of Healing Herbs', by Robin Rose Bennett
