EPISODE #5: If Women Used Herbs…
Care doesn’t have to be rushed, standardized, or detached, it can be slow, intentional, and rooted in deep relationship.
In this episode of Midwives & Milktea, we’re asking: What if women used herbs?
But really, we’re asking something deeper. What if care trusted the body again? What if intuition and ancestral knowledge were seen as part of evidence-based practice, not separate from it?
Join me as we explore the heart of traditional midwifery — a model of care rooted in relationship, observation, and trust. We’ll talk about how herbs fit into that framework, not as quick fixes, but as gentle reminders that healing can be slow, sensory, and deeply personal.
You’ll hear about:
- The midwifery model of care and why it leads to better outcomes
- How intuition, context, and continuity build trust in healthcare
- What it means to integrate herbal wisdom with modern medicine
This isn’t a call to choose between science and tradition — it’s an invitation to imagine care that listens before it intervenes.
Whether you’re a midwife, birth worker, herbal enthusiast, or simply curious about re-rooting care in connection, this episode offers a warm cup of reflection — brewed with insight, respect, and a little bit of magic.
