#1 Every Plant Has a Story to Tell with Nishanth Gurav

Join a growing community of plant lovers discovering the healing world of wild herbs: https://www.wildherbacademy.com/learn... In this episode, you will hear the true story of how Nishanth Gurav discovered that every plant has a story to tell. You will travel through the cities of India to the most remote Gond Region and Village of India. You will learn how Nishanth's curiosity for the connection between plants and people led him to get his Ph.D. in Ethnobotany. You'll learn: 1. How his grandmother uses breadfruit (Blanites aegyptiaca) to wash her clothes. 2. How the Gond tribe uses neem (Azardirachta indica) and other wild twigs to brush their teeth. 3. A little about the diet of the Gond tribe. 4. How they forage and eat edible flowers. 5. How their ancestors live in the forests and are protected in "sacred groves". 6. And how the connection between plants and people is sacred and should be protected through celebrations and rituals. So, if you want to hear about an ancient sacred group of humans still connected to the land and be inspired by the plant-love language of Nishanth, definitely take a listen!
