Summary

Did you know that plants can unlock chemical aspects of the human body, like a lock and key? Human beings have evolved alongside the plant kingdom…it’s no wonder our bodies respond so beautifully to plant medicine. Kerry Hughes, principal for EthnoPharm, is an ethnobotanist, herbalist, and author with a 20-year record of success in natural product development. Hughes is driven by a “tenacious fascination with the potential health-enhancing role plants can play.” Tune in to learn how you can deepen your own relationship with plants, and how plants communicate with each other, with insects, and with us.
