Today on the Being Home With Hunker podcast, host Laurie Gunning Grossman is talking with Lauren Haynes, the founder of Wooden Spoon Herbs.If there’s one thing that Lauren knows, it’s herbalism. She started delving into the world of herbs years ago through tinkering, and trial and error before she created Wooden Spoon Herbs. She started in her Tennessee kitchen and sold her products at an Appalachian Mountain farmers’ market stall – and then over the course of years, her company grew. Lauren has said that she has always found nourishment in nature, and that when it comes to plants, she sees possibility; she sees the mystical aspects of them, and their art form. Lauren believes that herbs are a powerful adjunct to conventional medicine. In this conversation, she shares ways that we can boost our wellbeing as we move into a new year. We talk about her time living in the Appalachian Mountains in a rural town, her thoughts on wildcrafting (which is harvesting from the wild), and how we can use indoor plants for medicinal or nutritive reasons. Be sure to listen to the end of this episode where we’ll share a code for you to receive 15% off your order at Wooden Spoon Herbs. LEARN MORE ABOUT LAUREN HAYES AND WOODEN SPOON HERBSWebsite: WoodenSpoonHerbs.comInstagram: @woodenspoonherbs        TikTok: @woodenspoonherbsOTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKEBeing Home With a Celebrity Nutritionist (Kelly LeVeque)Being Home With a Feng Shui Expert on Elevating Our Home’s Energy (Amanda Gibby Peters)Being Home With an Expert Aromatherapist (Amy Galper) CONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMANHave questions?
