Episode 112 - Merging Meditation and Herbal Medicine: Illuminated Herbalism with David Crow
How often do you sit with a cup of herbal tea and really feel the effects that it has in your body? And if you have experienced this, what did you notice?
Traditionally, through many ancient cultures plants have been allies to humans. Meditating with plants and fostering relationship with plants can be a profound way to potentiate both the plants and the meditation practice.
In this special episode of The Nourished Nervous System, I am thrilled to welcome David Crow, an expert in herbalism and classical Asian medicine.
We dive into an enlightening conversation about the synergy between herbs and meditation, exploring how these practices can potentiate each other.
I share my serendipitous journey with David, highlighting key moments that led to deep learning experiences.
David elaborates on his path studying Acupuncture, Tibetan and Ayurvedic medicine and his practices in meditation.
We discuss practical applications of herbs combined with meditation to enhance healing, introducing the concept of 'illuminated herbalism.'
