Each episode blends stories, traditions, and down-to-earth uses of plants—from the kitchen to the garden, from self-care rituals to seasonal living. You'll hear about herbal history and folklore, modern wellness practices, and even the astrology-herbal connections that help us align more deeply with nature's rhythms.

My mission is to demystify herbs and make them approachable, safe, and enriching—while sharing the stories and seasonal traditions that make them unforgettable. New episodes are released monthly. Join me as we explore the rich world of herbs, rooted in New England soil but connected to listeners everywhere.(C) Thompson Street Farm LLC - All rights reserved Igiene e vita sana Medicina alternativa e complementare

    30 When the World Seems Loud
    Jan 18 2026
    The past weeks—and months—have felt especially heavy. Even something as simple as checking the weather can quickly turn into being flooded with difficult news and unsettling headlines. At times, it can feel like there's no quiet place to rest our attention. I know I'm not alone in feeling this way. And while we can't completely step away from the world, we can choose moments of pause. I created this video as one of those moments—a gentle space to sit, listen, and be softly guided back to ourselves. A moment to slow down, sip a cup of herbal tea, and breathe. I've come to believe that these small pauses matter more than we realize. In fact, I carry a simple wish with me: that each of us, wherever we are, might stop for a few minutes each day—make a cup of tea, sit quietly, and sip without distraction. No talking. No media. Just presence. Even thirty minutes of stillness can be a powerful act. And perhaps, if enough of us step back—just a little, just long enough—we begin to tend the world by tending ourselves. So I'll ask you gently: Will you join me for tea at 4:00 PM?

    29 A Cozy Yule Gathering
    Dec 20 2025
    In this special seasonal episode of The New England Herbary Podcast, you're invited into A Cozy Yule Gathering — a slow, reflective journey through the traditions, plants, and quiet wisdom of the Winter Solstice. Together, we explore the ancient celebration of Yule and the longest night of the year, reflecting on how our ancestors marked this turning point with fire, evergreens, shared meals, and simple herbal comforts. You'll learn about the enduring symbolism and practical uses of evergreen allies like juniper, white pine, and cedar, and why they became powerful symbols of protection, resilience, and hope during winter's darkest days. We also step into the winter kitchen, where warming herbs and spices — rose hips, cinnamon, cloves, rosemary, orange peel, and more — helped nourish bodies and spirits when fresh food was scarce. Through folklore, history, and gentle storytelling, this episode invites you to see winter not as something to rush through, but as a season to savor. The episode closes with a personal reflection and a simple Winter Ember Tea recipe — a warming blend meant to comfort, ground, and remind us that even in darkness, light is already returning. So settle in with a warm cup of tea, light a candle, and join me for this cozy gathering as we honor rest, resilience, and the quiet promise of the returning sun. Winter Ember Tea 1 tablespoon Crushed Rose Hips 1 Tablespoon Dried Rose Petals 1 Cinnamon Stick 3-4 Cloves 1 Fresh Orange Slice Place the ingredients in a heat-proof container. I like to use a mason jar with a coffee filter tucked inside. Carefully pour boiling water over the herbs, then place a lid on top without tightening it — just rest it loosely so the steam can't escape. Let the tea steep for about 10 minutes, then strain if needed and enjoy. 🌿 Join My Patreon for Exclusive Herbal & Holistic Content! ✨ Love learning about herbalism, astrology, and holistic wellness?
