Our goal is to provide insights, skills and tools for the practice of true holistic herbalism grounded in tradition. We strive to share an equal balance of clinical strategies and spiritual perspectives on people, plants and the healing journey. The unique approach involves traditional Western herbalism, Ayurveda, spagyric alchemy, astrological medicine, and modern science. We don't just focus on what herbs are \"good for,\" but rather how you can work with them to heal, consciously evolve and be of service to your family, community or clinic.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T18:17:39.372113+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-plant-path-herbalism-medical-astrology-spagyric-alchemy-743287"},"episode":{"title":"Keeping Warm: Countering the Cold with Warming Herbs","slug":"keeping-warm-countering-the-cold-with-warming-herbs","published_at":"2025-12-18T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-plant-path-herbalism-medical-astrology-spagyric-alchemy-743287/keeping-warm-countering-the-cold-with-warming-herbs","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-plant-path-herbalism-medical-astrology-spagyric-alchemy-743287","url":"https://theplantpath.libsyn.com/keeping-warm-countering-the-cold-with-warming-herbs","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/theplantpath/Warming_Herbs_FULL_AUDIO.mp3?dest-id=515586","summary":"There's something about winter that makes us want to bundle up and get warm. And while many of us do this with sweaters, a beanie, and thick wool socks, there's another critical way we stay warm: Through the herbs and food we eat. In many herbal traditions, plants are often split into warming or cooling. A cooling herb might be great in summer, but it can leave you feeling off-balance during the cold winter months. That's why it's important to turn to warming herbs and spices that heat us up from the inside out. By doing this, we not only stay warmer, but we also come a little bit closer to living in harmony with nature's cycles. In today's episode, you'll learn: How living in harmony with the seasons connects us with nature Why using warming herbs keeps us balanced, vital, and healthy during winter The main actions, energetics, and affinities of warming herbs How to use simple warming spices you already have at home My favorite recipes for warming teas, herbal lattes, and even a few cocktails ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at: http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/ Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/ ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.
