Shawn Donnille’s Interview on The Holistic Herbalism Podcast

Our friends at The Holistic Herbalism Podcast recently interviewed Shawn Donnille, Mountain Rose Herbs’ owner and CEO. Clinical herbalists, Katja Swift and Ryn Midura, host this informative and conversational podcast. They sat down with Shawn to talk about sustainability and adjusting pricing to reflect the true cost of herbs–especially those at-risk herbs like rhodiola, American ginseng and goldenseal. Their discussion focused on different sustainability efforts around sourcing high-quality, organic herbs, including how sometimes it’s best to find herbal alternatives so that we’re not overtaxing threatened plant populations. Make yourself a cup of tea, sit back, and enjoy!
