Summary

In this throwback episode of the Pioneering Today Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Kaylee Richardson from The Honeystead to discuss all things herbal medicine. Kaylee shares some of the herbs she's currently using and her favorite "must-have" herbal remedies. In the blog post that accompanies this podcast, there are a handful of additional podcasts I've done on the must-have herbal remedies to always have on hand and even how to grow a medicinal tea garden.

Since the time of this recording, Kaylee has published a book, The Beekeeper's Apothecary that is a must-have in every home library. For more information and any links mentioned, visit the blog post here: https://melissaknorris.com/489
