While the Herbal Radio team is away on summer break, we're opening up the vault and sharing another special excerpt from one of our past Free Herbalism Project presentations. Originally recorded in 2017, this episode features the profoundly knowledgeable herbalist, teacher, naturalist, and all-around really cool dude, 7Song!
Join us as 7Song explores:
- What herbs to keep in your first-aid kit and why
- The importance of properly labeling herbal remedies
- How to maintain a calm disposition when administering first aid
- When to reach for herbs and when to seek medical attention
- Herbal first-aid preparations: what, when, where, and why
- The benefits of liniments versus tinctures for external herbal first aid
