00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 4: All right, absolutely, thank you.

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: Well, what's it going to be all about? Mutopia for Kids?

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 5: You know, it's great because I'm following the guests that

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 5: was speaking about stress and anxiety and panic, and the

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 5: book is all about herbs and homeopathy that can be

21
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 5: used with children. The statistic of kids under age twelve

22
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 5: on psychotropic medications for anxiety and stress is astronomical, and

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 5: people don't know that herbs and homeopathy can really help

24
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 5: children and adults going through anxiety, stress, depression, new day

25
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 5: of school, going into the holidays, after the holidays. So

26
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 5: I really did tons of research. I interviewed a lot

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 5: of experts on anxiety and stress for kids, and that's

28
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 5: what the book is all about.

29
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: What creates stress with our lives.

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 5: Sarah, Oh my gosh, just open your front door unless

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 5: you live on a farm, so you know, there's first

32
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 5: of all for kids, it's social media for a lot

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 5: of adults. Also, how many likes did I get? How

34
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 5: many clicks did I get? Do I look thin in

35
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 5: the picture? Do I look beautiful in the picture? That

36
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 5: is causing so much anxiety? I know you've spoken about

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 5: this on your Fantastic.

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 4: Show over and over.

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 5: And then there's just anxiety in big cities with the noise,

40
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 5: the pollution, the sounds, the sights.

41
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 4: So we really live in stressful times.

42
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 5: I mean, the blessing is most people really have clean

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 5: water and enough food and the ability to get rid

44
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 5: of their waste. But then we create all this anxiety

45
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 5: from things that are not necessarily important for our survival.

46
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: Sarah, We're coming into the greatest time period that I

47
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: just loves. I love fall in the winter, the weather changes,

48
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: it's nice, the leaves fall, it's just a great time.

49
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: Does that have anything to do with our moods Oh?

50
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 5: Absolutely, so, I'm so excited to be on your show

51
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 5: this time of the year. Each season has its blessings

52
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 5: for our bodies and the stress of our body. So

53
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 5: we're coming out of the summer months where we're perspiring more.

54
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 5: We're eating a lot of berries and fruits that have

55
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 5: water soluble anti accidents that help give.

56
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: Us energy to go to the beach and go to

57
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 4: picnics and run around.

58
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 5: And fall is this transition time where we prep our

59
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 5: bodies for the colder winter.

60
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 4: Now, of course it depends.

61
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 5: On where you live, but most places after fall it's

62
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 5: really cold. So this fall period allows our bodies to

63
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 5: transition from heat that medium temperatures we're going into and

64
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 5: then into the colder winter weather.

65
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: I can't believe Halloween is next week, then we get

66
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: into Thanksgiving, then Christmas.

67
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: Where did this year go?

68
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: Sarah?

69
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 5: Oh, my gosh. And speaking of Halloween.

70
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 4: I want to say that, you know, all these foods.

71
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 5: And supplements come on the market as superfoods, and I

72
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 5: have to tell you that pumpkin, which is so popular

73
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 5: right now.

74
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 4: Is such a superfood for us. As we're entering into

75
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: the fall.

76
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 5: We have this amazing flesh of the pumpkin that's filled

77
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 5: with fiber. It's got a lot of antioxidants in it,

78
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 5: especially vitamin A and carotenoids that help with night vision

79
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 5: because we know we change our clocks it starts to

80
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 5: get dark sooner.

81
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 4: We need that night vision. And the seeds inside the

82
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 4: pumpkin is protein.

83
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 5: So if someone had no food but a pumpkin, they

84
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 5: could stay healthy, help with their night vision, and have

85
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 5: the protein to keep their muscles moving. So it's amazing

86
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 5: that this time of the year these pumpkins naturally grow.

87
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 4: They're a gift for us.

88
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: George, Sarah, what made you become a master herbalist?

89
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 5: Love that question, So I wanted to first share with

90
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 5: your audience what an herbalist is.

91
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 4: That's always confusing for people.

92
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 5: So we know what a nurse is, we know what

93
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 5: a doctor is, we know what ad is, we know

94
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 5: what a dentist's that's very much part of our culture,

95
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 5: but in cultures around the world, herbalists are also a staple.

96
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 4: So someone like myself, I.

97
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 5: Really studied conventional medicine, anatomy and physiology, disease process.

98
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 4: I have to know about all the pharmaceuticals.

99
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 5: I have to know everything about the human body from

100
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 5: birth to one hundred and twenty. And then my job

101
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 5: as an herbalist is to know about plant based botanical

102
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 5: medicines so I can make suggestions to my clients and

103
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 5: patients about which herbs will help their body heal. So

104
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 5: it's so interesting because you have so many fabulous guests,

105
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 5: George that talk about spiritual and depth and energy and

106
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 5: it's so fantastic, But we still our body. Our soul

107
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 5: lives in this body where we have to urinate and

108
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 5: we have to eat, and we sweat and we can

109
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 5: break out and we can get cankersores right, So for

110
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 5: me and my practice, I'm really looking at the person

111
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 5: their strengths and weaknesses of their physical body and trying

112
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 5: to match that to a plant. And when people start

113
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 5: using plant medicine, George, there's no side effects.

114
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 4: When you're taking the right herbs, you can take more

115
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: or less.

116
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 5: Depending on what your needs are. And most importantly, it

117
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 5: empowers people to be able to take care of their

118
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 5: health and the health of their family around them.

119
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 4: I did not.

120
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 5: Answer your question, George, but I went off on a

121
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 5: tangent because I think it's really important to know that

122
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 5: plants are here to heal us no matter what the

123
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 5: weather changes, no matter what the climate change.

124
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 4: George. It shocks me because I walked down the streets.

125
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 5: I live in Brooklyn, as your audience knows, you know,

126
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 5: a crazy city, and through the cracks of the concrete,

127
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 5: whether we have a cold winter or a warm winter

128
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 5: or lots of rain, those herbs grow at the appropriate time,

129
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 5: no matter what. Isn't that fascinating?

130
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: What sure is?

131
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: Indeed it is. We have a guest named Christian Wilde.

132
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: His website is myhardbook dot com. He was on years

133
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: ago with me and I told him about turmaic and

134
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: that I've been using it for years before that, and

135
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: he decided to run with it and came up with

136
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: his own turmeric formula, which is pretty darn good.

137
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: What do you think of that?

138
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:55,119
Speaker 1: Herb?

139
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 5: You know, I knew we were going to talk about turmeric,

140
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 5: so one of the things we're going to tell today

141
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 5: is root plants, because as the leaves fall and the

142
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 5: flowers are no longer blooming, the energy of the plant

143
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 5: goes down to the root and herbalist in the fall

144
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 5: and winter, I have been using root plants. So tumeric,

145
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 5: which I know is one of your favorites, is a

146
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 5: root plant. It is absolutely gorgeous. It has this incredible

147
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 5: orange color. It helps with inflammation, It helps with joint pain,

148
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 5: muscle pain, it can help with brain fog. So I

149
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 5: am a huge fan of tumerica.

150
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: What is it, Sarah, about the color of the herbs

151
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: that has a lot to do with their potency?

152
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 5: So interesting because I have a school online called Mutopia Academy,

153
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 5: and I have this fantastic woman coming and speaking in January,

154
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 5: and she's a chemist and does research on the different

155
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 5: colored plants and where and how it affects the body.

156
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 5: So our orange is specific as I mentioned earlier, helps

157
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 5: with night vision. So eating carrots, like our grandmothers and

158
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: grandmothers great grandmothers told us, is really important for eyehealth.

159
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 5: So people get very confused because they're like, well, it

160
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 5: didn't change my prescription. I still need my reading glasses.

161
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 5: I still need my regular glasses. But what it does

162
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 5: is the antioxidentt of crottenstin, which is in carrots and

163
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 5: sweet potatoes and pumpkins, actually sharpen our night vision.

164
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 4: So years ago, if you had to go to the outhouse.

165
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 5: In the middle of the night, George, you wanted to

166
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 5: make sure that your eyes were sharp, you could see

167
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 5: if you were stepping on anything, and make sure that you.

168
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 4: Could get there safely.

169
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,239
Speaker 5: So all these plants and all these vegetables and tumerica included,

170
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 5: have this gorgeous orange color which really helps sharpen our

171
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 5: night vision.

172
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: One of the reasons I'm a believer in the theory

173
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: of intelligent design is that you look at this planet

174
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: and it has so many remedies for illnesses and diseases

175
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: and conditions.

176
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: And it's right here for us on the planet. It

177
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: grows here.

178
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: I mean, who could come up with that idea that

179
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: doesn't happen by accident.

180
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 5: Absolutely not for those of your listeners that are religious minded.

181
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 5: In Psalms, it says that the maker created grass for

182
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 5: the cattle and herbs for the service of man. And

183
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 5: I love that word service, George, because they are here

184
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 5: to serve us and you know, as an herbalist. Even

185
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 5: living in a busy city because I vacillate between Los

186
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 5: Angeles and New York, I am amazed at all the

187
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 5: edible plants that grow in our everywhere you are. And

188
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 5: one of the things I love to share with your

189
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 5: listeners is they can just google edible plants in my area. Now,

190
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 5: I'm not saying that people should go out and start

191
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 5: picking plants and eating them, but people are shocked at

192
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 5: what you know, in their little three block radius grows

193
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 5: that's edible.

194
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 4: So interesting. I was in Detroit. I know you are

195
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 4: from Detroit, yep.

196
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: I was with my friend walking a dog and I

197
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 5: look on this tree and it was, you know, a

198
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 5: suburban area and there is a reshie mushroom growing on

199
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 5: the trunk. Now, Rishi mushroom is one of the most

200
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 5: medicinal mushrooms.

201
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 4: That we have. It helps us with our immune system.

202
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 5: It's an immuno modulator that means, if you're overreacting, it'll

203
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 5: bring down that immune system. If you're underreacting, it'll bring

204
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 5: it up. So it modulates it and it's growing. George

205
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 5: on my I walk on the side of a tree.

206
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 5: Now you have to know how to process rishi mushroom.

207
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 4: But like I would have never thought in Detroit you'd

208
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 4: see a rishi mushroom and there it was.

209
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 3: You find everything in Detroit. It's a great town.

210
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 5: Yes, there's a lot of medicinal plants in Detroit, even

211
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 5: in the busy city.

212
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 4: They grow everywhere. It's amazing, Sarah.

213
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: How did the ancients know how to correlate certain roots

214
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: of herbs with illnesses and remedies? How did they know

215
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: this trial and error?

216
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: What happened?

217
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 5: You know, It's a question I asked myself all the time,

218
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 5: and I wasn't living in those times. So I'm very

219
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 5: lucky now because we have researchers.

220
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 4: Even at the NIH, they have.

221
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 5: A whole section on their website. Everybody should know about

222
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 5: medicinal plants. They can look at the genus of the plant,

223
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 5: they can look at these clinical studies. You know what

224
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 5: their action is on the body. So I'm very spoiled, George,

225
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 5: because I have so many amazing resources.

226
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 4: I don't know one hundred percent.

227
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 5: But for example, there's an herb called Osha. Osha is

228
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 5: called bear root, and what the ancient saw was that

229
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 5: when bears came out of their hibernation.

230
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: Having slept, they.

231
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 5: Would come out and they would dig up this plant

232
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 5: called osha and chew on the root back to root herbs,

233
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 5: and we find that osha opens up the lungs.

234
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 4: And if you've ever had a cough or a cold,

235
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 4: even a stuff he knows, and you take the herb osha,

236
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 4: it is unbelievable, George, because all of a sudden, ah,

237
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: you can take a deep breath. It opens up the lungs.

238
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 5: So that is one way was observing the animals to

239
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 5: see what they would eat. For instances, an herb called

240
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 5: goats rough and when you plant it around goats goats,

241
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 5: the farmers say that the goats produce more milk, so

242
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 5: we use that very often in lactation.

243
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 4: So I think our ancients really observed, you know, they

244
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: weren't distracted with social media.

245
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 5: They observed the animals around them, and then they saw

246
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 5: which plants would overtake other plants, which plants were more

247
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 5: subtle and stay more hidden under trees. So I think

248
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 5: it was observation of the world around them.

249
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: What do you recommend We talked about anxiety and stress

250
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: last hour. What do you recommend people take naturally to

251
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: kind of minimize it.

252
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 4: So you know, George, excuse me.

253
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 5: So many people that have anxiety have it in so

254
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 5: many different ways. A person can be anxious and overeat.

255
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 5: A person can be anxious and lose their appetite. A

256
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 5: person could be anxious and want to sleep all the time,

257
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 5: and the next person is anxious and they just cannot

258
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 5: fall asleep. Right. So, when you work with an herbalist,

259
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 5: when we have the word anxious, anxiety, stress, we're going

260
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 5: to talk to that patient for an hour and a

261
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 5: half to figure.

262
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 4: Out what that means to them.

263
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 5: But for instance, root plants again, because right now, fall

264
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 5: is the root time. There's an herb called Valerian. Everybody's

265
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 5: heard of Valerian. The research on Valerian is so extensive, George,

266
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 5: Valerian is an herb that can take the edge off anxiety.

267
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 4: I have to tell you a funny story. I have

268
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 4: a client who calls me once or twice a year. Okay,

269
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 4: so she'll call me up and go, you know, Sarahana.

270
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 4: I don't know if you remember, but sometimes I get anxious.

271
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 5: So I'm laughing, George, because I've been with her for

272
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 5: over fifteen years.

273
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, you do see I really don't know

274
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 4: what to do. Can you make some suggestions? So I

275
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: go over this twice a year. I'm like, can you

276
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 4: walk down your stairs? Sure, Sara Hana? Why? I'd like

277
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 4: you to go in the kitchen. Okay, sure? What's in

278
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 4: the kitchen?

279
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 5: I want you to go behind your spice rack. She goes, Okay,

280
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 5: what am I looking for?

281
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 4: I'm like, you always have a bottle of Valerian there.

282
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 4: She sticks her hand behind.

283
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 5: The spice rack because I always have her put it

284
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 5: there because I know she's gonna call me. She takes

285
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 5: out her Valerian. I'm like, okay, what my suggestion is.

286
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 4: I'd like you to take thirty five drops diluted in

287
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 4: a little grape juice three to four times a day.

288
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 5: She starts laughing and goes, I totally forgot I have

289
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 5: it here. So for her when she gets into her

290
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 5: anxious state of mind, whatever's happening in her life, Valerian

291
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 5: will take the edge off of it.

292
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 4: Now.

293
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 5: Valerian has been used as a sleep aid because it

294
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 5: help with that cycling mind. You know, when you're thinking

295
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 5: and overthinking and overthinking, so Valerian can help.

296
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 4: Calm that down.

297
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 5: Valerian's a tricky herb. Though some people it gives them

298
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 5: energy and makes them more nervous, and some people it

299
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 5: calms them. So I'm mentioning Valerian because it's so popular.

300
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 5: You're gonna have fifty percent of the population that say

301
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 5: it's the best calming herb. You're gonna have fifty percent

302
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 5: that say it makes me a little more anxious. So

303
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 5: I want to put that out there. But my all

304
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 5: time favorite herb, which is not a route, which we've

305
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 5: spoken about before, is an herb called skull cap.

306
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 4: It's from the mint family.

307
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 5: It makes a lovely tea or you can take it

308
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 5: in a liquid form called a tincture, and skull cap

309
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 5: can take the edge off those.

310
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 4: Butterflies in your stomach.

311
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 5: You know, you go on a new job interview, or

312
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 5: you're going on a date, or you have to do

313
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 5: a presentation at your office. Skullcap can just lessen and

314
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 5: get it out of your body so you can think through.

315
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 5: So skullcap is fantastic and I've never had anybody have

316
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,159
