The Natural Nurse and Dr. Z - 05/28/13

Host, Eugene Zampieron, ND, MH interviews Guido Masé. Guido is a clinical herbalist, herbal educator, and garden steward. The cofounder and co–director of the VermontCenter for Integrative Herbalism, he is a professional member of the American Herbalists Guild, the American Botanical Council, and United Plant Savers. In his new book, The Wild Medicine Solution, Blending traditional herbal medicine with history, mythology, clinical practice, and recent findings in physiology and biochemistry, herbalist Guido Masé explores the three classes of plants necessary for the healthy functioning of our bodies and minds—aromatics, bitters, and tonics. He explains how bitter plants ignite digestion, balance blood sugar, buffer toxicity, and improve metabolism; how tonic plants normalize the functions of our cells and nourish the immune system; and how aromatic plants relax tense organs, nerves, and muscles and stimulate sluggish systems, whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.
