About this episode
Cleavers (Galium aparine) is fun to play with, fun as a bracelet, fun to stick on somebody's back…yet it has gentle, but powerful medicinal gifts, as well. Listen in as I explore the many benefits of cleavers with Angela Rahim. You’ll also receive Angela’s kid-friendly recipe for a cleavers omelette. Angela Rahim is an herbalist, permaculturist and the author of the children's herbal adventure series called Sam: The Junior Herbalist . She's the mother of seven and resides in Ohio. Listen in for: ► Making it fun for children to work with herbs ► Soothing irritated skin with cleavers ► Getting to know easily overlooked herbs Here is one of my favorite takeaways from our conversation: “When I go to visit my family in Baltimore and I walk around the neighborhoods, I see chicory, I see cleavers, I see chickweed, I see plantain. And I'm like, ‘So many people walk past these plants on a daily basis and they really don't know what gems they have.’” It was a joy to connect with Angela and I’m delighted to share our conversation with you! ---- Get full show notes including a transcript of this episode at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.com For more behind-the-scenes of this podcast, follow @rosaleedelaforet on Instagram!
