Remedy & Rhyme - by Joyful Roots
Remedy & Rhyme is a space where poetry meets the power of plants.
Each episode begins with a poem — a soul offering inspired by a single herb — and follows the thread of its deeper herbal wisdom. We explore what the plant stirs in the heart, the ways it invites us into greater wellness, and how we might carry its gifts into our own lives. With each unfolding episode, you'll find gentle reflections, grounded holistic practices, and simple ways to welcome herbalism into your daily rhythms.
A podcast for lovers of Earth, language, and the liminal — where the sacred and the everyday meet, one plant at a time.
