Women’s Health – The Wise and Natural Way with Susun Weed

Program Description

Today, Susun Weed is one of America’s foremost authorities on herbal medicine and natural approaches to women’s health. Susun engages in a fascinating, candid and controversial dialogue about women’s health, natural healing and the “wise woman” tradition. Susun exposes the illusion about menopause and hormones, addresses the HRT/cancer connection and shares information about bone density. She reveals her knowledge about powerful anti-cancer herbs, and how to prepare herbal infusions with reverence. Weed recalls what the Maoris in New Zealand taught her. “Don’t expect any herb to help you that you throw in the trash. We don’t think about that much here. We must take that spent herb material and reverently put it back into the earth.” (Interview hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
