Ep. 122: Natural Healing with Peter Jackson-Main

About this episode

Peter Jackson-Main discusses natural healing practices, detoxification strategies, and the role of herbs in health.

In this episode, AC & Isaac welcome natural healing practitioner and teacher Peter Jackson-Main to discuss Natural Healing, his background in the Dr. John Christopher lineage, founding The Natural Center in the UK, and his clinical approach using structured case-taking alongside tongue and pulse diagnosis and iridology. They focus on what detoxification is, why it matters in a toxic environment, and how he supports organ-by-organ elimination (bowel, kidney, liver, lymph), including a gentler polarity-based liver flush using apple juice, lemon, garlic, ginger, olive oil, and a dandelion-root detox tea, plus seasonal timing in spring and autumn. Peter contrasts herbs with supplements, emphasizes patient commitment in chronic illness, and shares views on fasting as spiritual and physical medicine. He previews his forthcoming book The Medicine of Plants on ecology, exchange with plants, and plant intelligence, and shares favorite allies like astragalus, burdock, nettle, artemisia, and horsetail. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:34 Guest Intro and Announcements 03:01 Defining Natural Healing 04:29 Origin Story and Training 08:33 Building the Natural Centre 10:25 Herbal Preparations and…
