This past weekend I had the joy of attending the International Herb Symposium in Cincinnati alongside hundreds of herbalists, practitioners, and fellow plant and mushroom lovers. It was such a grounding reminder of why I began studying herbalism in the first place, and of how vital it is, for both people and animals, to connect with the outdoors and commune with the wisdom of plants and fungi through food, medicine, and beauty.
Here’s a glimpse from Dr. Christopher Hobbs’ inspiring talk on medicinal mushrooms. Dr. Hobbs is a licensed acupuncturist, clinical herbalist, researcher, and author whose work continues to highlight just how powerful and intelligent mushrooms truly are.
I left feeling deeply grateful that we’re able to carry that wisdom into our own Longevity and Allergy formulas so that dogs across the country can share in their incredible benefits. 🌿🍄
