Pip Permaculture Podcast

In this episode of the Pip Podcast, Robyn Rosenfeldt sits down with Heidi Marika, naturopath, medical herbalist, and author of Wildcraft and From the Wild. Heidi shares her passion for reconnecting with the plants growing all around us and how they can be used for food, medicine, and healing—both for us and the environment. Together, Robyn and Heidi delve into the overlooked abundance of wild plants and the importance of re-learning what our ancestors knew. Heidi opens up about her childhood spent foraging, her journey back to wild plant medicine, and why these "weeds" are so vital in times of uncertainty and change. In this episode, Robyn and Heidi discuss: * Why wild plants contain more nutrients than cultivated vegetables. * How to safely identify and use plants like dandelion, plantain, and nasturtium. * The role of wild plants in healing the soil and our bodies. * Practical tips for foraging greens and incorporating them into your diet. * How to make simple remedies like salves, teas, and fire cider.
