You are listening to episode 22 of the Simple Farm House Life podcast.

Today I'm going to be bringing on a friend of mine.

This woman and I met, let's see here, probably close to or right at 10 years ago, it's hard to believe that now.

We always shared interests in all things, natural health, all of that kind of thing usually is what we would

talk about when we'd get together. She's since moved away and we've just kind of

we haven't chatted in a while but it was really great to record this

episode she has spent the last several years studying herbs actually she was

already pretty into it whenever I met her and she has spent all these years doing that so she's

going to share some of her knowledge of herbs and we had a really good discussion

I have to apologize that I have not figured out yet which I need to do before I do this again how to get the audio

really crisp and clear when having a guest on.

I know how to do it with my own little microphone in my own little studio if you will, but I will

apologize but I didn't want to scrap the interview.

So the audio isn't the best, but I still think there's some value in the discussion so I'm going to post it because we cover a lot of topics and go into some things that I learned quite a bit as well.

So let's jump into the episode. the episode right so I am here with my

friend Jen first I'm gonna have you tell a little bit about yourself and your

credentials and how you've been studying herbalism and then I'm going to talk about how we met because that's fun.

Sure, sure.

So I started really getting into things all the way back when Era was having all her issues was like food intolerance and we were trying to figure out what was going on through stomach issues and getting to the root of, you know, eliminating certain foods. I think that's kind of a natural progression a lot of people take is they start looking at what they're eating and then their interests from there just kind of gross in natural medicine or natural ways of doing things.

So that's kind of what my interest was peak in using herbs that we were growing outside.

And so I started studying with the Obson Institute,

which is also called the Birth Institute,
