When my daughter sprained her ankle during a softball game, I was grateful to have Comfrey growing in the garden and some Arnica oil stashed in the van. But as I reached for what I had on hand, I realized most of my oils were past their prime.

This episode is a real-life story behind that moment, the herbs I turn to for sprains and strains, and why it’s time to restock my home apothecary. I also talk about what happens when we get excited about making herbal medicine—but don’t plan ahead for what we’ll actually use.

And if you’ve been wondering what remedies to have on hand for your own family, I’ll share how you can join me in the upcoming Herbal Medicine Planning Party—a free, fun, and practical way to get clear on what to make for the next 1–2 years.

01:10 – My daughter’s sprain and how I responded
03:45 – Using older oils in a pinch (and what I’d do differently)
06:15 – What’s in my Bobcat Balm: the herbs I always use for injuries
08:20 – Why Cayenne is a key player in these formulas
10:10 – The power of Comfrey
12:40 – How easy it is to make remedies without a plan—and why that leads to waste
13:45 – Why I’m getting intentional with my medicine making this year
14:20 – What we’ll be doing inside the Herbal Medicine Planning Party
