KITCHEN MEDICINE | Three Common Herbs Hidden in Your Cupboard

Kelsey Conger | Clinical Herbalist + Holistic Nutritionist

Do you want to start working with medicinal herbs in your everyday life, but feel totally overwhelmed about how to get started? Are you unsure where you can even find these herbs? Do you struggle with ongoing gut issues, allergies, or another chronic condition, yet feel powerless to do anything about it? Do you want to learn tools for addressing and relieving these stubborn symptoms? 

Join herbalist, nutritionist, and lymie Kelsey Conger on PLANET SPOONIE, the podcast for lymies and spoonies healing themselves and the world.

The truth is, beginning to heal both yourself and the planet can actually be quite simple. In fact, it's nestled right within your kitchen cupboard! There's both magic and medicine, available and waiting, right in front of you. Nestled in your spice rack are everyday herbs that can transform your health and empower you to make positive, impactful change.

Today we'll discuss kitchen herbalism and the magic of simple, everyday spices. You'll learn about three herbs in particular - Rosemary, Ginger, and Cinnamon - and how you can begin incorporating them in your daily life. This is one of the first and easiest ways to start practicing herbalism and taking your power back. So, sit back, brew a cup of tea, and let's reclaim our rooted traditions right from our own kitchens! 

Ultimately, the goal of this pod is to help you feel empowered and connected to yourself, your community, your heritage, your local ecosystems, and the world at large! When we remember and reconnect, when we begin to work with our bodies and nature, healing becomes inevitable.  

Our bodies are a direct reflection of the ecosystems we inhabit, and just like this earth, our bodies know how to heal. 

Let's dig in!

This episode is meant to be empowering and educational, but it is not medical advice. Please seek the support of your primary care provider or a qualified healthcare practitioner before making any changes.

As you navigate life with chronic health conditions, my goal is always to provide you with foundational tools to support you and help you feel your best. In addition to these educational episodes, working with clients 1:1 is one of the most powerful ways to initiate change - ensuring that you receive deeply personalized, compassionate, and inclusive care.

If you’re living with lyme disease or complex chronic illness and you feel ready to take your power back, begin healing, reconnect to yourself + nature, and find your *SHINE* again…
