Episode 231: Why Most Herbal Remedies Don’t Work (And What Actually Does) with Subluna Founder Arielle de Martinez
If you’ve ever tried herbal remedies and wondered why some seem life-changing while others feel like nothing at all, this episode is for you. Not all herbs or tinctures are created equal. The way they’re grown, processed, and blended makes all the difference in whether they actually work.
In this episode I’m sharing:
The story behind Subluna and why its founder started creating remedies outside of the conventional system
Why fresh herbs are more potent than dried ones and how mass production strips plants of their vitality
The power of wildcrafting and sourcing from small farmers who know every plant they grow
How true herbalists formulate blends (and why most store-bought “formulas” miss the mark)
What “herbal energetics” mean (hot, cold, moist, or dry) and why they determine whether an herb will work for you
Tips for building confidence with herbs, including how to use herbal monographs and your own intuition
The must-have herbs for your home cabinet (like echinacea, elderberry, and California poppy)
Why Subluna’s gummies and drink mixes are different and how to use them for kids and adults
Remember: herbs aren’t one-size-fits-all. This episode will help you understand what makes plant medicine effective, how to choose remedies that truly support your body, and how to bring more herbal wisdom into your everyday life.
