Herbalism Uncensored
Podcast Description
Clinical Herbalists Alicia and Lila dissect the challenges facing the contemporary world of natural healing.

Unfortunately, many of us, practitioners and individuals, are not getting the results we desire with the resources available to us. Alicia and Lila dig into why that is and what we can do about it.
