About this episode
Join clinical herbalist, field botanist, and nutrition educator, Shana Lipner Grover, as she brings us to Mount Pisgah Arboretum to discuss one of her favorite plants in the Berberidaceae family: Oregon grape. Shana loves Oregon grape for its bitter tannins and its affinity for liver and gut health. This wonderful western North American plant ally can be harvested sustainably and can be easily identified by its spiny leaves, blue berries, and golden flowers. Shana was a student of award-winning author Michael Moore and also one of our favorite herbalists, Howie Brounstein. Today, she is the director and primary educator of Sage Country Herbs School of Botanical Studies in San Diego, CA.
