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 talked about electrolytes. This isn't perfect, but this is the brand I use.

In this episode, I discuss Plantain and Mullein. I chose to discuss Plantain because I have been using it a lot lately.  I share benefits of plantain, 3 older stories on how I used it, and 3 newer stories.  By the way, this isn't the fruit that looks like a banana, this is Plantago major or Plantago lanceolata.  

I also chose to discuss Mullein because I usually use it more in the summer than any other season (although most people probably use it more in the winter). If you live in Fire Country like I do, this herb is very beneficial. I share the benefits of Mullein and how to identify it.  Mullein's Latin name is Verbascum thapsus. 

I also mentioned that Plantain was the first herb I learned about in great detail.  What was the first herb you learned about in detail?  Email me and let me know: wild.yarrow.apothecary@gmail.com

You may be thinking, ‘What does this have to do with herbalism?’  I can teach you all the information about herbalism, but if you self-sabotage, more than likely, you won’t be consuming the herbs.  Or maybe you will stop learning about herbs altogether.  I do talk about herbs in the episode, but I also talk about other holistic modalities as well.  This is a topic I have been thinking a lot about lately, because I have been seeing it a lot.
