Herbal remedies are rooted in ancient traditions, but as they gain popularity we’re learning more about them. They're also becoming a big business and there's greater scrutiny of the ingredients in herbal products and the science behind their uses.
We’ll talk with Guido Mase, co-director of the Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism and author of "The Wild Medicine Solution," about how herbal remedies are made and where to find accurate information about their uses.
We'll also check in with Jeff Carpenter of Zack Woods Herb Farm in Hyde Park and learn what medicinals can be grown in Vermont. He and his wife Melanie are co-authors of The Organic Medicinal Herb Farmer.
And we'll talk with reporter Kathryn Flagg of 7 Days about the Shelburne Museum's transformation from a seasonal destination to a contemporary arts center.
Broadcast live on Thurs., March 5, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
