Goldenseal — The Golden Thread in the Understory

August 6, 2026·4 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this thoughtful and ecological dive, Celine explores Goldenseal—a quiet forest plant whose golden root has been both revered and over-harvested. From Indigenous traditional uses to its rise as a commercially coveted remedy, this episode examines how cultural significance, scarcity, and ecological responsibility intersect. Goldenseal becomes a reminder that admiration and extraction are not the same, and that some plants are best honored by leaving them in place.This show exists ad free, if you would like to show support, I gratefully except tips here: https://buymeacoffee.com/celinecolbert
