In this episode of Waking Up the Witch, we have the pleasure of talking with Dana Aronson, a dedicated herbalist whose journey began in an herb shop in the Bay Area. Dana shares her path from her early days working with herbs to her formal education at the Berkeley School of Herbal Studies. We explore her work providing acute care and first aid at gatherings and festivals, and her current role at a local cancer research herb clinic in southern Oregon.
Dana's story is one of passion and commitment to the healing power of herbs. She discusses the transformative experiences that led her to herbalism, the rigorous training she underwent, and the rewarding work she does today. Dana also touches on her inspiration from renowned herbalist Rosemary Gladstar and her involvement with the herbal community.
Dana Aronson is a trained clinical herbalist who takes joy in community based, hands-on learning. She focuses her studies on bio-regional plants from the Pacific Northwest and intertwines them into her small practice and teachings. She believes in offering accessible herbal medicine and digestible herb information so that people can feel empowered around their health. Dana’s interests include mobile first aid clinics, working with folks around addiction, and harm reduction.
