Summary

Ep 101. This episode with Amber Magnolia Hill is like receiving a warm hug from an old friend. Amber is a seasoned herbalist who handmakes beautiful plant medicines for people who yearn for knowledge about herbalism, deepening ancestral connections, and remembering what it is to be human upon the earth. She helps people to drop cultural disconnection and disempowerment, and to return to old ways of being. I loved swapping stories of spiritual plant experiences with Amber and I hope this conversation inspires you to connect with the plants that are calling to you!

Here’s the juice:

Why herbalism is really about our relationships with plants, rather than using plants to treat specific ailments
What the concept and process of plant communication looks like
The experience that made her realize the mythical power of plants
How plants treat our spirits by bringing us into ourselves in a deeper way – bringing us into alignment with our true essence
How body oiling can help with boundary setting + how to make your own oil at home
The importance of using plants before, during and after pregnancy
Plants don’t come to us unless we’re ready for them and the lessons they teach us
What the role of herbalism is in our modern day health care system now and in the future

0:00.0	I'm so excited to finally have a fellow herbalist on the show again. We've done a few episodes
0:07.8	in our history here with herbalists and it's always so magical, the softness and the depth of
0:15.5	the conversation and how we get to just get a little woo and weird and fun while also giving all of these medicinal
0:23.0	nuggets and bits of advice around using herbs in your life. And today's episode is no different.
0:29.1	Amber Magnolia Hill, she is one of my favorite herbalists in the world. I love her Instagram and
0:35.8	her blog and her products so much. And this episode is like a warm
0:39.8	hug from a friend. She hand makes these beautiful plant medicines for people who yearn for knowledge
0:44.8	about herbalism and want to deepen their connection with their body and their ancestors.
0:49.3	And her big passion is body oiling. So we're going to talk a lot about the benefits of body oiling,
0:55.6	specifically with herb-infused body oils, not essential oils, but whole herbal plant matter
1:02.1	infused into oils the long way so that you're getting the full spectrum of plant medicine
1:07.1	and how that topical application of body oiling not only helps the plant medicine
1:11.7	penetrate, but also protects and soothes our nervous system just by the practice of oiling itself.
1:18.7	We're also going to talk about why herbalism is about our relationship with plants rather than just
1:24.3	using plants from an A to Z dictionary to treat specific ailments in this disconnected way

1:39.7	We're going to talk about plant communication, how to start speaking with plants in a sense where you can sit with a plant.
1:46.3	You can get to know it.
1:47.3	You can start to get these little pings about what it does or how your body is responding to it.
1:51.7	Rather than just reading about plants in a textbook, we're also going to chat about plants appearing to us in our dreams and how there's so much wisdom there and how you can encourage more of that type of
2:02.2	communication. And we're going to talk about the medicine of storytelling and the experience
