In this episode, host and Ayurvedic Consultant, Eminé Rushton, introduces us to Sebastian Pole – co-founder of Pukka. Sebastian is incomparably knowledgeable about plants – and is a trained practitioner in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Herbalism, and to this day, still runs a herbal clinic in his hometown of Bath. Meeting in Sebastian’s lush and fascinating herb garden, Sebastian shares his own story – how he became interested in herbs, his years of travel and study in India, how he came to create Pukka, and his life-long devotion to the growing, sharing and education around herbs. Discussing everything from herbs to help women with menstruation and beyond, to herbs that help keep us grounded, healthy and focused, this episode is a wonderful exploration and celebration of nature’s wisdom – accompanied by the birdsong and bee hum of Sebastian’s productive, paradisal garden.
Learn more about herbs at Pukka – pukkaherbs.com and through Sebastian’s wonderful books, A Pukka Life; Ayurvedic Medicine: The Principles of Traditional Practice and Pukka Tea: Make Your Own Healthy Herbal Infusions, are fantastic reads, and highly recommended to those who would like to learn more about Ayurveda, herbalism & holism.
