In Today’s Episode
Dr. Patrick Jones is a Veterinarian, Naturopath, and Clinical Herbalist based in Buhl, Idaho. He owns and operates Fairview Animal Hospital, and is a clinical herbalist for both man and beast. Because of his veterinary credentials and license, he has had the unique opportunity to treat cases that most herbalists wouldn’t dream of addressing. He does a lot of lecturing, workshops, and herb walks to help people roll up their sleeves and get beyond the theoretical and into real applications. The culmination of this passion for teaching others can be found at the HomeGrown Herbalist School of Botanical Medicine.
My interview with Dr. Jones is perfect for anyone who wants to take a more natural, herbalistic approach to their medicine. Leverage the power of what our natural plants can do for your health, with the help of Dr. Jones’s vast knowledge of herbs.
