About this episode

Judson Carroll discusses spring tonics and their benefits for the body.

Today, I discuss spring tonics. These are herbs that stimulate and tonify the various systems of the body. They do everything from improving digestion to strengthening the immune system, etc. Also, I am back on Youtube Please subscribe to my channel: @judsoncarroll5902 Judson Carroll - YouTube Brain Cloudy Blues on guitar I show you how to play a Texas, western swing, style blues made famous by the great Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys... arguably the most popular and influential band in American music history! I use a variety of swing chords and progressions with breaks that are equally influenced by Eldon Shamblin and Lightnin' Hopkins. https://youtu.be/IWo8WdOgZw0 Email: judson@judsoncarroll.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/southern-appalachian-herbs--4697544/support Read about The Spring Foraging Cookbook: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-spring-foraging-cookbook.html Available for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRP63R54 Medicinal Weeds and Grasses of the American Southeast, an Herbalist's Guide https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/medicinal-weeds-and-grasses-of-american.html…
