But there are simple ways to start using these herbs, in safe and effective ways, to maximize wellness for yourself, your friends, and your family. We will explore three classes of botanicals, learn how inextricably tied they are to our own physiologies, and discover the crucial role they play in maintaining vibrant health: aromatic plants, valued for their effects on mind and spirit; bitter plants, essential for digestive health (and more), and tonic plants, which support immune and cardiovascular function. Together, these allies provide a toolkit to help us navigate the modern world with grace and resilience, and reconnect us to the wild world in which we evolved.   [![Free Herbalism Project with Guido Masé & Susan Leopold!](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1462210722024-1.png?width=600&height=600&name=1462210722024-1.png)](http://freeherbalismproject.com/guido-event-2016)   ##### The Work of the United Plant Savers:  ##### Why Sustainable Herb Sourcing Matters ##### [Presentation by Susan Leopold, PhD](http://freeherbalismproject.com/teachers/) Join us for firsthand stories from the frontlines of the conservation work of the United Plant Savers! From [sandalwood](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/sandalwood-australian-essential-oil/profile) in Hawaii and peyote in Texas, to [osha](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/osha-root-extract/profile) in Colorado and the [ginseng](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/search?page=1&q=forest+grown&utf8=✓) of Appalachia, this talk will highlight several medicinal plants that need our engagement. The work of UpS is unique as there is no other organization dedicated to the conservation of at-risk native medicinal plants. As consumers of herbal medicine, we need to understand where our ingredients come from and what factors make a plant at-risk. UpS has partnered with Mountain Rose Herbs on the launch of the new ["Forest Grown" program](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/search?page=1&q=forest+grown&utf8=✓) to promote forest farming of medicinals in Appalachia. Learn about this effort and how you can become plant savers in these critical times of rapid extinction of native biodiversity and global deforestation. Plants need us, and each of us can make a difference by healing the planet and ourselves.   ![Free Herbalism Project with Guido Masé & Susan Leopold!](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/TEA-1.jpg?width=960&height=686&name=TEA-1.jpg) ### FREE HERBAL TEA, LIVE MUSIC, & FOOD CARTS! ### A FUNDRAISER FOR THE [UNITED PLANT SAVERS](http://www.unitedplantsavers.org/)!   ## [*Register Now!*](http://freeherbalismproject.com/guido-event-2016)   ![Free Herbalism Project with Guido Masé & Susan Leopold!](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/dirtysponns-1.jpg?width=461&height=600&name=dirtysponns-1.jpg) --- Topics: [Herbalism](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/topic/herbalism) ![The Mountain Rose Herbs Team](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Passionflower.jpg) ### Written by [The Mountain Rose Herbs Team](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/author/friends) on August 2, 2016 Over the last three decades, the Mountain Rose Herbs Team has created and recreated thousands of recipes.
