In this intriguing episode, we explore the surprising potential of invasive plants as valuable resources for health and medicine. Focusing on Dyer's Woad, a plant often dismissed as a weed, we delve into its remarkable medicinal properties, especially for respiratory infections. Discover the concept of "invasive medicine" and how traditional Chinese medicine views these plants through a different lens. Featuring insights from Sam Coffman, founder of Herbal Medics Academy, we examine the practicality of harnessing these plants' potential rather than eradicating them. This episode challenges our perceptions and asks us to reconsider how we interact with and label the natural world around us.
