Plant Medicine in 2020: Interview with Samantha Orthlieb, MH

Earlier this year I had the honour of sitting down-virtually-with Wild Rose Alumna Samantha Orthlieb, Master Herbalist about the role of Plant Medicine in 2020.

Samantha owns Senses of the Soul & Botanical Sanctuary and runs her clinical practice out of Ammolite Healing Center in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada.

“When you look at plant medicine, plants in themselves are whole. They are intrinsically linked to nature and the cosmos–as I say in my book, they know why they’re here, they know what their purpose is, they don’t stumble around like us poor delicate humans do–they don’t really think that way. And therefore to me, if you are giving someone a plant remedy of any kind, whether it’s a vibrational essence like a flower essence, everything helps us intrinsically within that to connect back on a whole.

 

Whether you are a Clinician or whether you are using it, it is helping you on a much higher level of consciousness that I believe actually most people realize.”

-Samantha Orthlieb, MH

What do you think the role is of Plant Medicine in 2020? Is it more important than ever?

January at Wild Rose: The Quiet Start to a New Year

At Wild Rose College, we believe winter isn’t a pause in learning, it’s an invitation to go deeper. While the world around us is rushing into resolutions and to-do lists, nature continues to rest.

Pine + Cedar: Forest Medicine for Winter Lungs

In winter, the world goes quiet. Sap retreats into the earth, plants pause their outward growth, and nature invites us to follow her lead; slower mornings, deeper breaths, long exhalations. While many plants die back or rest under snow, the evergreens remain. Pine. Cedar. Spruce. Fir. They stand in their green resilience, not by fighting […]

There’s a moment, usually the first time someone hears the word Ayurveda, when something inside us lights up. A tiny fire of recognition. Because Ayurveda isn’t about becoming someone new.
