Summary

If you've ever wondered how astrology can interface with medicine, and whether it really works, you're in for a treat!

I am delighted to share my interview with Judith Hill, who has been my teacher and mentor for over 15 years. Since we first met, she has profoundly influenced me as an herbalist, practitioner, and individual. Her guidance has been instrumental in helping me comprehend the profound impact of the celestial realm on us as humans, constantly inspiring my practice of integrating clinical herbalism and medical astrology.

Judith is the founder of the Academy for Astrological Medicine and an award-winning author of fourteen books, including her latest, The Twelve Zodiac Sign Syndromes of Medical Astrology: Expanding Our View of the Seasonal Wheel. She produces The Renaissance Medicine Conference and has created many well-known astrology courses.

If you've ever been curious about how astrology intersects with medicine or questioned its efficacy, this interview is for you!

We covered a lot of ground in this conversation, including:

Using astrology as a means for potentizing herbal remedies from harvesting to preparation, to administration
Techniques for working with the Moon
How to talk to skeptics (there are many people who "don't believe in astrology!")
The classification of plants astrologically, the issues we inherited from the ancients, and how we can modernize astrological medicine
How astrology reflects health patterns across the human being
The interrelationship of physical and psychological health conditions
Practical ways doctors and practitioners can integrate astrology into their modern clinical practices
Timing interventions, choosing remedies, and patient-practitioner compatibility using astrology
Real-life case studies demonstrating astrology uncovering hidden causes of illness
The intuitive and mechanical insights astrology provides for modern healthcare

The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine. With perspectives gleaned from traditional Western herbalism, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Alchemy, Medical Astrology, and traditional cultures from around the world, The Plant Path provides unique insights, skills and strategies for the practice of true holistic herbalism. From clinical to spiritual perspectives, we don't just focus on what herbs are "good for," but rather who they are as intelligent beings, and how we can work with them to heal us physically and consciously evolve.
