  • From Chamomile to Tulsi: Brittany Williams on Raising Kids with Herbs and Advocating for Holistic Health
    Dec 12 2024

    Ready to embrace the power of plants with your family?

    In this episode of The Herbalist’s Path, I had the joy of chatting with Brittany Williams of Eudaimonia Herbs—a passionate clinical herbalist, educator, and all-around plant-loving mom. Together, we explore the transformative role of herbalism in empowering families, teaching kids how to care for their own health, and advocating for yourself in the healthcare system.

    Brittany shares her favorite family-friendly herbs, like chamomile, catnip, and Tulsi, and how her children grew up with jars of tinctures and teas lining their home apothecary. We also dig into the deep connection between intuition, plants, and holistic health, offering practical tips to help you feel confident using herbs in your daily life.

    If you’re curious about herbalism, overwhelmed by where to start, or ready to take your family’s health into your own hands, this episode is a treasure trove of inspiration, wisdom, and humor.
