Creating Change

August 23, 2021

This weekend I shared William LeSassier’s face, tongue and nails class.  I loved his saying, that the indications of lines, blemishes and colors of the face is a historic record of a person’s life.  We carry our experience for all the world to see.  While teaching to this very intimate group I was able to share many stories […]

Seeing the Horizon: Thoughts from Margi

August 6, 2021

Here I sit writing at the computer. Completing the details, which are never-ending, for the fourth edition of The Practicing Herbalist. I continue to find statements about being an herbalist, sitting with clients, and philosophy of life in general. I am nearing 600 pages, so a lectern may be needed. You can regularly switch out Christa Sinadinos’ The Essential […]

My Best, passing it on.

November 30, 2020

In the seventies, my wonderful parents treated me to a journey through the Yucatan. That was the year those isolated lands opened to outside cultures.

Shedding Skins

August 18, 2020

We are all shifting after shedded skins flaked off and fell to the Earth. I have missed many actions, places to meet friends for food, friendship, atmosphere, and family of choice. Shedding old patterns inside and out. Intention is everything. Action makes it manifest. In this new era I have learned to ask for help […]

The Gateway

July 1, 2020

I feel the speeding up, the airplanes have returned, the traffic now heard accompanied by the annoying buzz of weed-whackers out beyond the peace of my gardens.  This year, grounded in my home since March.  Being an Herbal star has fed my soul these past twenty or more years.  Being loved on the road by so many incredible […]

Acid Reflux in Practice

January 28, 2020

By: Margi Flint with contributions by Beth Mwano Acid Reflux affects many many people and there’s a common misconception that stomach acid must be low when acid reflux happens. However, most people who come into my practice have low hydrochloric acid, not high. Much of medical literature will talk about high hydrochloric acid, but in […]

Hot Water, My Grandmother’s Only Swear Word

September 13, 2019

Warm food improves digestion Let’s talk about the stomach…and gas. The expulsions of gasses from the body are indicative of fermentation happening.  Fermented foods are really popular, but you don’t want to be one! If you’re fermenting, it means the food is actually bubbling up within you and the gasses need to be expelled.  One of the […]

Years of Practice

October 30, 2018

I have been saving client folders for nearly forty years. The drawers were literally bursting like mushrooms with no wiggle room. It three of us two days to go through every file and shred papers where clients had not visited for over ten years. I was amazed at how many of these people I remembered, […]
