Herbs for Braces & Constituents from the Plant’s Perspective

This week Katja shares some allies who've helped out with the (several!) kinds of pain which accompany her braces - gentle vulnerary astringents for the cuts in the mouth, anodynes for the bone pain, and a special guest to help drain fluids from the sinus. Ryn talks about one way we try to understand herbal constituents, the chemicals which contribute to an herb's medicinal effects - by trying to learn how they work in the plants who produce them. Herbs discussed include meadowsweet, goldenrod , self-heal , calendula , plantain, chamomile , kava, & ground ivy . Don't forget!
