We love Bitter plants and are focusing on them with our community herbalism students this semester πŸŒ±πŸ‘…πŸŒ±

Bitters have an almost instantaneous action on the digestive system - causing salvation and an ongoing cascade of digestive secretions. Excellent for the sluggish digestion that is often a feature of our food systems that are low on bitterness. You can find your own Bitters in many of our wild edibles

Bitters also influence our mental and emotional states - the jolt of the bitter taste bringing us into our physical bodies - great if you're feeling a bit scattered and unsure

The 3 plants here are examples of Bitters that our Grass Roots Herbal Foundations students are studying this year. Are any of them familiar to you? Answers on Friday after our Thursday evening class

Looking for a wee herbal listen in 2026?

A few favourite podcasts we've been listening to for a while now

πŸŒ±πŸ’šπŸŒ± Which herbal podcasts are you listening to in 2026? Particularly keen to hear about UK & Ireland based podcasters πŸŒ±πŸ’šπŸŒ±

πŸ’š The Sage’s Cabin podcast with Rox Madeira of Movement in Thyme CIC - such a fascinating combination of interviews with folk working in the herbal world, particularly around social justice movements, with the odd bit of herbal histories mixef in - loads to delve jn to (and a wee interview with Soraya & Catriona earlier jn 2025 if you care to listen back)

πŸ’š The Frontline Herbalism podcast with Nicole Rose of Solidarity Apothecary - lots of amazing podcasts, including Nicole reading from her book The Prisoners' Herbal and, most recently, the launch of one of many free resources - 2026 Herbal Path Planner. We think anyone looking to refocus their herbal journey in 2026 will absolutely love this resource. Delve deep for more resources and training offerings - we would highly recommend the Glycerite training

πŸ’šThe Plant Path with Sajah Popham of The School of Evolutionary Herbalism - an indescribable amount of plant knowledge including energetics, astrology, history and growing and using plants for medicine. Sajah goes far beyond the predictable "this plant for this ailment" approach and really opens up the character and personality of the plants he talks about - the school's online resources and videos are also epic in their scope and size

A wee look back to some peaceful Autumn times with the Polish group from Edinburgh and Lothians Regional Equality Council (ELREC) on the herb farm Edinburgh Agroecology Coop πŸ‚πŸ’šπŸ‚

Seed saving is a huge part of making herbal medicines sustainable and seed sovereignty is very close to our hearts - open pollinated, local seeds are a community resource to be cherished and tended to πŸŒ±πŸ’šπŸŒ±

Working with our Polish volunteers, we also get to learn new names for old friends like Self Heal - GΕ‚owienka Pospolita & Elecsmpane - Oman Wielki. Now to work on our pronunciation πŸŒΏπŸ’šπŸŒΏ
