The Herbalist's Path

If you’re a mom who loves having your own natural medicine kit, filled with herbal remedies & ingredients you know, love, trust, & can pronounce, then this podcast is for you!

Hosted by Mel Mutterspaugh, a clinical herbalist, holistic health & environmental educator, natural medicine maker, and a mountain livin’ momma on a mission to help more moms learn how to use herbs and plant medicines in a safe and effective way. 

In this show, you’ll hear tips and bits on how you can take better care of your family, & better care of our planet, naturally. 

We approach herbal medicine by dancing the science, with a bit of the folksy woo stuff too! You’ll hear interviews with other herbalists, naturopaths, doulas, midwives, herb farmers, product makers, holistic healers, and moms of all kinds sharing their wisdom on their journey down this herbalist’s path.

We’re all about inspiring a movement where there’s an herbalist in every home… AGAIN! And that starts with YOU!  So, be sure to hit subscribe so you never miss a show, and share it with all your momma friends so we can make herbalism #SpreadLikeWildFlowers
