Getting Personal with Plant Medicine
Health & Fitness:Alternative Health
In this episode, Diana is joined by Sysamone Phaphon from Savanh Wellness,who talks about the tradition of plant medicine within her family. Hear how her refugee immigrant parents incorporated healing plants like cannabis, lemongrass, and Thai eggplants into their daily lives. She recollects her family using plants for both food and as remedies for basic health ailments. Listen as Sysamone shares how the war on drugs and the subsequent stigma impacted her family’s relationship with plant medicine, and how they were able to re-embrace their roots as attitudes and laws began to shift.
In our conversation, we also explore the crucial role of education in breaking barriers and debunking stereotypes around cannabis. Discover how Sysamone and her family helped translate MODERN CANNABIS:A Beginner's Guide to Conscious Consumption, a comprehensive guide about hempic cannabis, into 11 different Asian languages, aiming to educate the older generation and non-English speaking population. Finally, hear about Sysamone's new D9 organic gummy pomegranate flavor, and how you can support her family's journey in the cannabis and CBD space.
