Do you love to travel? I certainly do. But have you noticed that when you’re away, you often return home sick?
My today’s guest explains today why that is and what you could do to prevent this from happening next time.
Her name is Patricia Kyritsi Howell. Patricia has more than twenty years’ experience as a clinical herbalist and teacher. Her book, Medicinal Plants of the Southern Appalachians is one of the foremost resources on the topic of regional native plant medicines.
A professional member of the American Herbalists Guild since 1997, she has a clinical practice in Clayton, Georgia.
Patricia advises the Atlanta Botanical Garden on medicinal herb programming, serves as a member of the Governing Council of the American Herbalists Guild, and is the co-founder of the Georgia Herbalists Guild.
She is the co-owner of Wild Crete Travel LLC, a small tour company specializing in unique custom travel experiences on the Greek island of Crete.
By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to prepare better for your next trip with the right natural products and strategies.

The theme for the 2018 symposium is Bioregional Herbalism and this year’s Keynote presenter is a fourth generation Alabama herbalist and author of the newly released book, Southern Folk Medicine, Phyllis D. Light.
