The podcast where we talk about the long standing presence of herbs throughout history, specifically folkloric tales. While many people write these off as just stories I believe there is knowledge embedded within these stories that nowadays can so easily be brushed off as just that, stories. However hidden within all of these tales are great traditions and healing medicines for both the physical body and the spiritual mind.
