I believe that energetics is not talked about enough in herbalism.  I have talked a little bit here and there about energetics in past episodes. However, I feel like this topic is deserving of its own episode.   Knowing and using energetics is one of the ways to practise herbalism holistically and to customize herbs to a person and their symptoms.  In this episode, I explain what energetics are, and I give examples of energetics and how to use them.  Some books that share energetics info: Want to learn more about herbalism?  Use the discount code WYAP to...
