Episode 12: Sara Marie Miller ON: The Healing Power of Herbs & Flower Essences

Episode #12

I recently met Sara Marie Miller at an apothecary in Boulder, where she created for me a customized flower essence blend to support my healing on an emotional, mental and energetic level. I became fascinated with learning about the healing power of plants, and invited Sara onto the podcast to share her impressive knowledge as a clinical herbalist and flower essence practitioner (among many other things). I’ve observed more and more of us hearing the call of nature to return to our roots and the ancient wisdom of our ancestors. If you’ve also been curious to learn about herbalism and plant medicine, then this episode is for you. 

We cover in this fascinating conversation...

  • How to discover the personalities and living intelligence of plants.
  • Examples of how various herbs and plants can address the symptoms of a variety of ailments , including hormonal issues, depression and anxiety.
  • Simple steps to begin to create a connection to the plant kingdom and cultivate awareness about how various plants interact with your unique body and energy system.
  • What flower essences are (compare to essential oils) and some of the healing properties of a variety of essences including Hibiscus, Buttercup, Borage and Rock Water.
  • One plant Sara recommends using if you experience guilt, shame and rigidity around your food and eating.
  • A fun and simple meal-time practice to connect to your food and body and notice what truly feels “yummy” for you.
