people survived for hundeds of years through their knowledge, scientiste buy their helbs from the store
Ever notice a divide among herbalists when it comes to herbal research methods? Some are deeply rooted in traditional age-old practices and others prefer scientifically proven studies to back up herbal claims. Many modern herbalists are able to bridge that gap and honor both sides of looking at plants… but do we need science to prove what we already know to be true and valid?
Here's the thing: science isn't just about experiments. It's about being curious enough to question what we don't know and humble enough to change our minds in the face of new information. This pursuit of knowledge can make our understanding of herbalism and the world so much richer.
Both tradition and science offer important insights. Ignoring one means losing out on a treasure trove of knowledge that could make us all better herbalists. Traditional herbalism has stood the test of time, proving its trustworthiness over millennia. But can we trust this wave of scientific herbal research?
Diving into the scientific research on herbs is tricky. Sometimes, these discoveries confirm what we've always believed. Other times, they challenge everything we thought we knew about herbs. Some studies say one thing, others say the opposite. It can all get very confusing. So how do you navigate this, and which findings do you trust?
There are lots of things that can happen that make a study not trustworthy. There are also lots of different scientific methods for studying plants. This leads us to the whole in-vitro vs. in-vivo debate, not to mention the question of whether results from rodent studies can apply to humans.
In this week's blog post, I’ll break it all down. From explaining dense scientific terms to understanding different types of studies, you'll learn how to sift through herbal research like a pro so you can figure out whether the study is trustworthy or not.
Take care,

Here’s what’s coming up tomorrow on Episode 5: Heartbeat of Life: How Diet and Lifestyle Can End the World’s #1 Killer. |
Heart disease takes more human lives than any other cause of death. And while tens of millions rely on medications to keep their symptoms at bay, these drugs often come with serious side effects. The good news is that all-natural food and lifestyle habits have been proven to slash the risk of heart disease dramatically. And the number one place to start is with the food on your plate. This episode will bring you evidence-based dietary recommendations for preventing and reversing cardiovascular disease. We’ll explore the role of antioxidants, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and other nutrients in promoting cardiovascular health. We’ll unravel the culprits behind heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels and clear the confusion surrounding fats, cholesterol, sugar, salt, and processed foods once and for all. |
