In reply to LeeAnne. Yes, you are so right, simple sharing is how we change culture and so glad you enjoy The Herbal Kitchen so much!

This was great, Kami. I have worn out The Herbal Kitchen book I purchased when I first started following you (and have given many away), and I do have favorite recipes of yours which I have expanded upon and added my own touches, just as you suggested. I also really like the room you are in with shelves of wonderful things. I keep needing to find more and more space for all the potions I am making, for the ones that are finished and for all the ingredients used in making them. I thought I lived in a pretty large house, but it seems to be growing smaller as I expand into my herbal experiences. I’m sure you understand exactly what I am saying. I have 2 rooms that I use for AirBnB. Currently, I have 2 Chinese young men who are starting their PhD’s in food science at our university. I have been sharing lots of herbal knowledge and goodness with them in the hope that they will consider a shift from using chemicals to plants. One never knows how the future might be changed by simple sharing with passion (which is what I love about you). Thank you once again.

I think you covered everything! We can use it to help us heal at home, or to provide comfort. I know language has to be so policed around this topic. I have been down with vertigo the last 5-6 months. I can say I have really only made St.John’s Wort… 🙏 thank goodness because I get severe nerve pain in my legs. It works so fast. I love this herb! I have a lot of calendula, I’ve grown it myself and I feel close to it. I need to log back into my classes and make some calendula oil for some psoriasis patches. I also use mint, fennel and other digestive herbs a lot. I grow as much as I can. I haven’t been strong enough to forage in the spring and summer.
Great video!

Thankyou so much for all of the experience and wisdom you share so freely Kami. None of my friends are interested in herbalism. They’re mistrustful and wouldn’t want to try anything I made. They’re so blinkered by proprietary medicines, remedies, cosmetics, toiletries and household cleaning products. Hoping to bring them around a little with gifts of simple things like lip balm, bath salts and infused body oils. I guess you either have that instinctive connection to the natural world or you don’t. Soo wish I could find like-minded people to connect with in person and share my herbal journey. But for now, thankyou thankyou for your inspiration and boundless enthusiasm. xxx

In reply to Donna. That's right, Donna, you can do it one step at a time.

This is beautiful wisdom, Kami. Thank you guiding us to look at home herbalism as a fun personal adventure that joins plants, passion, wisdom, and love with ourselves and our lives. I’ve been struggling getting started because there’s so much to learn, but you make it sound so manageable. Just pick a smell or taste I love (or an ailment that needs help) and start there. Then one at a time. I guess in even 15 minutes a day I’d learn a lot. Your energy around the love and the relationships is inspiring.
