hi rachelle! i’m excited to be a new subscriber and can’t wait for your september session. i have 2 questions, if time allows:

1) i am a cannabis consumer (& also an entrepreneur in cannabis/well-being in the events space) — what herbs do you recommend that complement cannabis for a bright, uplifting feeling?

2) what herbal blends do you recommend for seasonal allergies?

Hi Juliette! I'm glad you're here! These are great questions. I've added them to the queue and we'll definitely get to them, though not likely today as it's already a super-full session. Thank you!

Hey there! I am working on catching up with the Live recordings. And, had a question I wondered if you wouldn't mind circling back on or when appropriate regarding Kava/Kratom. In the live you mentioned not mixing kava w/ alcohol for obvious reason... I wondered if you could dig a little deeper on tincture making with alcohol in this scenario. I am assuming it's OK but was hoping for a little clarity. I am currently making my own kava tincture with locally grown kava (I'm here in Hawaii) and am doing a double extraction method with grain alcohol --> then water.

What time is the live? I am hoping to make it, if possible, Thx. I love that you follow Lex Pelger. He is a great resource on cannabininoids.

Hi Amalthea! We're live at 1p EST. Always the same time, if that helps for future planning! And yes, Lex is an olddddd acquaintance of mine. We worked together on CBD projects in NYC before the big boom. ;)

Yes, he has been interested very early, cool thanks for telling me. It's been a strange long journey now that the boom hit.

Hi Rachelle,

First of all: Thank you soooooooo, sooooo much for your work.

I'm trying to support my six year old son whos's been diagnosed with asthma this year. He has never ever taken ANY drugs before in his life, but needs to inhale corticoids now. :-(

It's hard to find an herbalist here (in Germany) who would really name specific products and dosages of curcuma or astragalus e.g. for a child. I hoped you might have some ideas for these needs (asthma + child + I always assumed his gut was great thanks to his diet). His asthma is connected to a seasonal allergy and breaks out when he catches a cold or an infection.

If this is not too particular and if time allows it, I would be beyond thankful for some tips.

Thanks,

Aya

Is it okay to give herbs to 8 year old with cognitive issues but I’m thinking of giving him herbs because of his anxiety & lack of focus

What herbs should be avoided when getting well from cold or flu? Like astragalus ?

I would love to hear your recommendations for targeting post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or melasma through nutrition and herbals supplements! I've been having skin issues for the first time EVER (really only around the lips) and it has thrown me for a loop.

Hi Rachelle, I am in my late 40s and has perimenopause symptoms - hot flashes, weight gain, sleep disturbance and anxiety. What can I do to overcome that?

Hi Rachelle,

Thank you for answering my question in the most recent video and I will look into the hormone class. I just read about DIM supplement. Would you recommend it? Thanks again. :)
