Meet the Greek Herbalist: Greek Herbal Tours with Maria Christodoulou
In today’s special episode, we meet The Greek Herbalist, Maria Christodoulou. We discuss her experiences as a first generation Greek-American, what it was like encountering the Greek landscape for the first time, how she went from a classics major to studying herbalism to now living in Greece and, among many things, leading the way in herbal immersion tours all over the country.
In her own words, Maria is a clinical herbalist exploring the wisdom and whimsy of ancient Greek herbal medicine. In a previous lifetime she lived on a farm in ancient Greece and found the cure for plagues. Maria teaches and writes about medicinal plants featured in fantastical myths, ancient medical texts, and surviving artwork. She offers educational herbal tours throughout Greece and is the author of "The Greek Herbalist's Guide to the National Garden" and "The Greek Herbalist's Guide to the Mountain."
