Be Your Own Shaman is the title of Jane Barlow Christensen's book she co-authored with her son, teaching people how to identify, harvest and use the medicinal plants found all around us. It is beautiful, hard cover book, full of pictures to make identifying as easy as possible.

Jane talks about how her own father taught her and her siblings to recognize and appreciate the plants that are often already available in our yards to help support the human body. She tells a story about riding in the car with the family, and her dad pulling the car over and getting everyone out of the vehicle to show them a plant on the side of the road - I have the best vision of this in my head!

I'm so interested in all herbalist work, and it's exciting to learn about the medicinal plants in our own yard growing wild, and the ones that are considered "weeds" by many. Jane's book talks about the best time to harvest and best ways to use the plants, which is super interesting! I encourage anyone who is even remotely interested in medicinal/helpful plants, to check out this book and episode - Jane has studied plants her entire life, and has so much wisdom to share.

You can find Jane's website here; there's also an online catalog of herbal supports and supplements: https://barlowherbal.com/
