| 0:00.0 | Hi there, I'm Rosalie de la Fochay and I'm so glad that you're here. Today I'm sharing a few of my favorite herbs that help cool inflammation. |
| 0:09.0 | These plant allies are total overachievers. They soothe digestion, they protect ourselves, and they support the whole body with resilience without demanding a gold medal for it. |
| 0:21.6 | These short clips you're about to watch show just how many ways inflammation can show up |
| 0:26.6 | and how herbs can meet us there with grounded effective care. |

| 1:41.3 | When inflammation is out of control, it can lead to pain and even |
| 1:45.5 | chronic illness. Something that I find really interesting is that whole plant and whole food |
