About this Episode
Naturopathic doctor Marisa Marciano and iconic advocate of herbal medicinals Mark Blumenthal discuss the history of medicinal plants and the power of herbs, which both believe to move alongside other healthy lifestyle habits.
When Marciano is with a patient, she treats each individual differently: “I try to look at every person and decide, ‘what is the best thing for this patient?’” In addition to working as a naturopathic physician in Vancouver, Canada, and as an herbal consultant and educator, Marciano is currently Chair of the Botanical Medicine Department at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine. Blumenthal is the founder and executive director of the American Botanical Council and editor and publisher of the quarterly journal HerbalGram.
