Most people don’t realize their backyard is a pharmacy waiting to be rediscovered. From bitter cerasee vines to sleep-inducing soursop leaves, the Caribbean is rich with healing plants—and ancestral knowledge that’s slowly being forgotten. This episode walks you step-by-step through how to grow, harvest, and use 7 powerful herbs—fever grass, thyme, guinea hen weed, turmeric, aloe, and more—while teaching you how to build your own home apothecary. But this isn’t just a how-to guide. It’s a return to rhythm, resistance, and the sacred act of self-care.Could you care for your family during a storm with just the land around you?
What herbal wisdom did your grandparents use that’s now almost lost?
And if your health system failed tomorrow… would you be ready?
