Get out into the cold and gather these 5 medicinal herbs ready to forage right now! Let's talk what part to harvest, what it's used for and how to use it. In this episode, we step into the quiet East Texas woods to explore five medicinal plants you can responsibly forage right now, even in the heart of winter. We’ll talk through mimosa bark, mullein root, kudzu root, dandelion root, and juniper berries — where to find them, how they’ve been used traditionally, and why winter is actually one of the most powerful seasons for harvesting roots and bark . This episode is part fireside story, part practical foraging guide, offering a slower, more intentional look at plant medicine during the colder months. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of winter foraging, ethical harvesting, and how these plants have supported the body and spirit for generations. Perfect for herbalists, foragers, wildcrafters and anyone curious about reconnecting with the land when everything seems asleep. (Not medical advice, educational purposes only)
