In this video, I'm sharing my 5 biggest herbal mistakes—the kind that are a little embarrassing, sometimes painful, and always full of important lessons. 🌿
From burning my skin with raw garlic to accidentally creating an infection with marshmallow root (yes, really!), I’m pulling back the curtain on what not to do when working with herbs. I’ll even show you the photos—because let’s be honest, we all learn best when it’s real.
You’ll also hear about a cold I gave myself with the wrong herbal timing, and a gardening fail with Mugwort that completely took over. If you’re learning herbal medicine or just using herbs at home, this video will help you avoid some of the most common—and avoidable—pitfalls.
These lessons were hard-won, but I hope they’ll keep you safe, empowered, and on a smoother path with your herbal journey.
