We welcome three wonderful members of the Pukka team on this week’s episode: Jo Webber, Head of herbal education; Marion Mackonochie, Herbal research specialist and Dr Vivien Rolfe, Head of Herbal Research. Join us as we explore themes such as the birth of herbal medicine, methodology of research within herbal medicine and the use of medical herbalism in women’s health. We touch on fascinating topics such as the similarity between our endogenous cannabinoid system of receptors and vallinoid receptors, which respond to chilli and other plant active components. We also delve into the work that Pukka do within universities and wider education, promoting the important role that herbs have to play in our health and wellbeing. Listen in for some tips to drink your cup of tea in a more sustainable fashion! The team at Pukka reiterate the importance of only boiling enough water to make the amount of tea you are going to drink, and highlight the sustainability of their packaging, down to the string of the teabag and the tea envelope! Why not enjoy this episode with a warming cup of Pukka tea?
