Today’s episode is with herbalists Howie Brounstein and Alex Queathem from the Columbines School of Botanical Studies. This audio is from a Facebook Live that they recorded in September of 2017 in response to the wildfire smoke and extremely poor air quality in Oregon. Most of the content starts at about minute 2:30.
