Native California Herbs & 5 Elements, with Athene Eisenhardt | Tea Talks with Jiling

Dr. Athene Eisenhardt, Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist, found her path in life by way of the plant world. Working professionally as a field botanist for Yosemite National Park led her to begin wildcrafting and using native California plants as medicine, and to study the Taoist 5 elements in nature.  She maintains a private practice in Oakland, California, offering 5 Element Acupuncture and Integrative Herbalism. Athene is also on the Herbology faculty at the Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley, CA.  

Athene and Jiling discuss:

  • The Five Elements of East Asian medicine
  • How the five flavors relate to the Five Elements
  • Examples of native California plant and Five Elements’ interrelationships
  • How climate informs plant intelligence 
  • Ethical harvesting of native plants
  • Some of Athene’s favorite plant meditations!
