When it comes to women's health and herbal medicine, there may be no better pairing. In this episode we had the pleasure of chatting with naturopathic doctor and herbalist Dr. Judith Thompson, who shares decades of clinical wisdom from her work with women, from postpartum care to perimenopause, the everyday herbs she trusts most for nourishment and balance, and why the intention behind how we make and use herbal medicine matters more than we might think.

What's in this episode:

* How Judith's Paraguayan roots and her mother's kitchen medicine shaped her path into herbalism

* The near-fatal car accident that opened her eyes to the healing power of plants

* Herbalism and naturopathy: two lenses, one deep relationship with plants

* Clinical stories from birth to menopause: arnica for newborns, sitz baths, mugwort vaginal steams, maca, and evening primrose

* Supporting women through HPV naturally with green tea, vitamin E, and dietary shifts

* Safe everyday herbs for nourishment and balance: nettles, oats, parsley, celery, red raspberry leaf

* Why the intention behind making herbal medicine matters, and what one doctor's observation revealed

* Caring for plants as living beings and the Sustainable Herbs Initiative

At Eclectic Herb we're proud to stay rooted in tradition, balanced with science, and committed to sustainable herbal products that are better for you and better for the planet since 1982.

Over 95% of our freeze dried herbs are grown right here in the US, by small family farmers, and wild crafters that we've cultivated relationships with for over 30 years. They're tending to the plants and the land, ensuring they come back for future generations, and we're getting you the best herbal products out there.
