Burdock & Liver Love Hot Chocolate with Rosalee de la Forêt - Podcast Interview
I was recently a guest on acclaimed herbalist Rosalee de la Forêt's, Herbs with Rosalee podcast!
Here’s some listener feedback from the conversation:
- Of course an hour after listening to this interview I am sitting on my porch drinking the most delicious hot chocolate drink I have ever had!
- Thank you for an amazing Interview and for this sweet treat on our first fall-❤️
- Selima puts the relationship between us and plants so eloquently!
Herbs have so many gifts! Most of us start out from a framework of, “What herb is good for ‘x’ symptom or disease?” While that’s natural, there’s so much more that we can explore.
Burdock is no exception!
Listen in as I share how the deep roots of burdock became a friend and ally as I traversed my healing journey from trauma. You’ll also receive my fabulous recipe, Liver Love Hot Chocolate!
Although everyone’s path will look a bit different, I hope you’ll draw some inspiration from what Rosalee and I discussed about how a relationship with a plant can look and function.
I want people to explore and to see what invitation the plant is going to extend because, yes – we have all the constituents and the herbal actions and all of the science – yet none of that is going to speak to what you’re going to learn about yourself through your relationship with a plant.
I loved spending time with Rosalee and I’m excited to share this conversation with you!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me. I will be taking a hike to our nearest mountain and I should be bringing a shovel with me. 🥰 we have so much lesser burdock around, I feel blessed. I just put a stop to jaw surgery bc I think the DR. Was being too invasive. I have cyst in the middle of my jaw bone and he wanted to remove almost half of the jaw and was told I was going to permanently numb on that area due to he was going to also removed the whole nerve with it. I will be trying anything in my power to heal naturally. I’m scared but I’m also very hopeful I can do this.
