From English Teacher to Clinical Herbalist | Amy Boldt

Enrollment for Herbal Dental Care closes tonight at midnight, so I wanted to record a quick episode sharing a few thoughts about why this course has me so excited. This isn't just a course about herbs for teeth or gums. It's about understanding oral health through the lens of tissue states, constitutional patterns, inflammation, digestion, stress, mineral balance, and how the mouth reflects the whole body. The course is taught by Kyle Denton, who spent 15 years in the dental field before becoming a clinical herbalist. The way he bridges those two worlds is unlike anything I've personally encountered in herbal education. The live classes are held Thursdays at 6pm Central on: May 28 June 4 June 11 June 18 June 25 Recordings will be available for anybody who can't attend live.

Join Rosalee's FREE Cooling Inflammation Mini-Course LEARN MORE & REGISTER FOR FREE Available for a limited time! This episode of The Herbalist Hour is a little different. Recorded inside a working tattoo shop in Twisp, Washington, Mason sits down with herbalist Rosalee de la Forêt and tattoo artist (and tarot reader) Caitlin Cordell… while Rosalee is actively getting tattooed.  What unfolds is a lively, unscripted conversation weaving together herbalism, embodiment, and everyday practice in a setting that's anything but typical. Along the way, we dive into the nuances of inflammation—why it's not the enemy, the crucial difference between acute and chronic states, and how herbalism can support long-term vitality without fear-based restriction. Rosalee shares insights from her clinical experience, busts common myths (including the turmeric + black pepper debate), and highlights herbs like hawthorn and lemon balm as powerful, often underappreciated allies.  Midway through, the energy shifts as Mason and Rosalee receive a spontaneous tarot reading, adding another layer of reflection and meaning to an already rich conversation. It's equal parts education, storytelling, and real-life moment—needle buzzing in the background and all.
