We continue our miniseries with a conversation about how we access medicine, health, and healing when our under-resourced and fragile medical systems are overwhelmed. Autumn interviews community herbalist Lauren Giambrone, about plant medicine and home remedies that build our immune systems and fight infections, as well as kitchen witchery and other forms of ancestral medicine that can keep us safe and healthy.
Music by Tunde Olaniran and Mother Cyborg.
