What Is Plant Medicine?

In this episode of Modern Sages, Candace and Jenn share their personal connection to plant medicine and their top five go-to herbs every home apothecary should have.

As modern-day medicine women, they find deep fulfillment in tending to the body, mind, and spirit through the gifts of the Earth. Long before modern pharmaceuticals, our ancestors turned to the soil for healing. They trusted the wisdom of the plants — their rhythms, their intelligence, and their ability to restore balance where it was lost.

Mother Earth continues to provide everything we need to honor and heal ourselves on every level. Each herb carries its own vibration and spirit, offering medicine not only for the body, but for the soul.

In this heartfelt conversation, Candace and Jenn share how these herbs have supported them through physical healing, emotional balance, and spiritual growth. They also explore the importance of intention — how the energy you bring into your relationship with herbs becomes part of the medicine itself.

This episode is an invitation to reconnect with the living apothecary of the Earth — to touch the soil, brew your own medicine, and remember that you are part of nature’s sacred ecosystem.

A Closing Reflection

When you work with plants, you are not just healing — you are remembering.
Each leaf, root, and flower reminds us that the Earth is alive and listening, ready to meet us where we are.
Plant medicine is more than a remedy — it’s a relationship.

May this conversation inspire you to slow down, listen, and honor the wisdom growing all around you — and within you.
