Regenerative herbalism in Poland

🍀 WYLDE is a collection of episodes in English, where I - Lieve Galle, a Belgian herbalist and wild plant forager since 2002 - talk with fellow herbalists and foragers in Europe. 

Lyra Alves is a very experienced herbalist who is originally from Brazil, but she lived in Belgium for 17 years, and is now living in Poland.
She's not only a phytotherapist but also an amazing wizard with plantbased ingredients as a vegan chef.
Enjoy our lovely talk! 

About being lucky to grow up in a house with a big garden and spending vacations in the countryside.
About being fascinated by the ancient healers or curandeiros as a child, but also needing the more rational knowledge from books. 
About how science is catching up with things that were used to be called witchcraft or mumbo jumbo.
About the differences between Brazil, Belgium and Poland regarding general plant knowledge and legal framework.
About the importance of keeping herbal knowledge alive and passing it on to the next generations.
About typical Brazilian plants that she misses in Europe, and new plants she discovered here.
About regenerative herbalism on different levels and the Healing Weeds project.

And lots more.
