So one of my favorite things about this podcast is that it gives me the opportunity to dig into topics that I find personally interesting and I get to do it and have you guys listen along at the same time.

And one of my favorite ways to find topics for the show is to look

into the areas of the homesteading world or the old-fashioned living world that

haven't been covered a lot. I like to dig into those things that have a little bit of information floating around the internet,

but you can't really get the good media information as easily.

And today's topic absolutely fits into that bucket.

It's a topic I've been interested in for years, but it's been a little tricky to find really reputable advice. And the topic is, drum roll, please, herbalism, and animals. So, you know, I have a lot of animals. I don't even know how many at this point I've lost count and I'm always

looking for ways to help my care of them be more holistic, more natural, more common sense,

but it's really hard to sort through that information sometimes.

So today I am very excited to be joined by Dr. Jones.

He is a practicing veterinarian, a traditional naturopath, and clinical herbalist, so that's a combination you don't see a lot of and

that's why I am so excited for this conversation.

For many years he's seen the power of herbs bless the lives of his

human clients. So he has some incredible resources,

homegrown herbalists.

net, he has an herbalism school.

We're going to get into all of that today.

But Dr Jones, welcome to the podcast.

Well, it's great to be here, Jill. I look forward to visiting with you.

It's a fun topic.

It is, and it's, I mean, I just don't feel like there's a lot of information, at least not as much as there is around other topics.

So I think it's a hole in the knowledge base, and I'm excited to do a little bit to help fill that today with my audience.
