About this episode
We were honored to have our good friend and owner of Sage Country Herbs, Shana Lipner Grover, join us in person last week for some filming. One of the videos we recorded was on an enchanting yet practical topic – working with smoke as medicine. With decades of experience, Shana illuminates this traditional art, inspiring us on the many ways smoke has been historically used as medicine and ultimately to consider making our own herbal smokes. This educational talk is packed with information from the history of smoking herbs to wellness benefits and precautions to choosing ingredients and formulating. Shana leaves us feeling empowered to explore and create our own herbal smokes and when to use alternatives. The corresponding video to this week's podcast will be released on our YouTube channel at a later date, please stay tuned. Shana Lipner Grover was a student of award-winning author Michael Moore and also one of Mountain Rose Herbs' favorite herbalists, Howie Brounstein. Today, she is the director and primary educator of Sage Country Herbs School of Botanical Studies in San Diego, CA.
