Hello! I would like to incorporate herbalism with my kids. Prevention, home remedies (such as seasonal allergy relief!) and would love any books / resources. And also about dosing. I think I heard generally starting at age 12 kids you can follow adult dosing (generally speaking). Thanks!

Hi, i hope this is the right place to add this as I didn't see open questions for July. Anyway, here's the question. I just stepped out to grab some mail (about a 2 min walk outside and the air is smokey today from wildfire smoke). It was only 124 (sensitive for certain groups, so I figured I was okay with out a mask). That was a mistake as my lungs feel ache now and i'm coughing. I know that I should wear a mask next time. However, is there anything that can be done. Are there teas or herbs that can help expell the particles that I speculate I just breathed in?

Hi there! I'm working on formulating some tinctures, but I'm interested in adding vegetable glycerin to make them a little tastier. What is a good ratio of alcohol to glycerin? & Should I continue to use a 1:3 ratio (dried herbs to menstruum), or adjust the ratio because I'll be adding glycerin? Thank you in advance for your help! I am very inspired by your work.

Can you speak to overcoming Candida overgrowth with herbs and a plant-based diet? What’s the protocol?

Also! I know you are an affiliate with mudwtr which we used to drink years ago but stoped when I learned more about functional mushrooms and mycelium vs fruiting body. The herbalist I used to work with told me the mycelium is a waste of money and that you should only go for mushroom powders/extractions made from the fruiting body or BOTH. Mudwtr is made from the mycelium only-can you speak to this? Do you disagree? Thanks!

Hello Rachelle!

I was wondering if you could share some herbs for grief. I know this is an important topic for you and I thought you had touched on it before but I couldn’t fully remember or find anything scrolling through so I figured I would ask. I’ve been feeling very uneasy after losing my grandfather. Lots of high stress moments, heart beating fast, feeling sad, the whole thing. I’ve been making tea blends of oat straw, roses, lavender, chamomile, hibiscus to name a few but was wondering if I was missing out of a major player. Thanks 💚

Hi Rachelle, I wanted to see what your thoughts are on phytoestrogens during perimenopause. As someone with estrogen dominance I take DIM and try to focus on phytoestrogens. I’d also love your thoughts on whether Maca is good during perimenopause when estrogen is on a crazy rollercoaster.

Sincerely,

Daniela

P.S. my gyn also put me on low bio-identical hormone replacement progesterone.

Hi Rachelle,

I’d love more info on parasite cleansing. It seems to be talked about a lot in the wellness world and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Do you do parasite cleanses? I know there are specific herbs that can assist but have also heard you need to take a binder. Any info is greatly appreciated 🙏🏼
