What if the reason you’re not sleeping well, feeling constantly stressed, or stuck in burnout isn’t a lack of supplements but a lack of foundational support?
In a recent episode of The Dancing Willow, clinical herbalist Elliott Brinkley sits down with Heather Luna, founder of the Acorn School of Herbal Medicine, to unpack what’s really driving chronic imbalance and what actually helps.
Spring is beautiful- blooming trees, fresh air, longer days, but for many people it also brings congestion, itchy eyes, fatigue, and relentless seasonal allergies.
Most people blame pollen alone. But herbalists see something deeper.
Pollen may be the trigger, but your body’s ability to process histamine determines how intense your symptoms become.

Herbalism in Southwest Colorado is inseparable from the land itself. High elevation forests, dry mesas, alpine meadows, and desert edges create one of the most botanically diverse regions in the Mountain West. Here, plant medicine is not just theory, it’s place-based knowledge shaped by altitude, climate, and seasonal rhythms.
What if the way you grow, and relate to, plants changed how you understand medicine, community, and even yourself? In this inspiring episode of The Dancing Willow, Elliott Brinkley sits down with Crystal of Growing Creations Herb Farm to explore biodynamic growing, the alchemy of soil health, and what it truly means to farm medicinal plants in a living, breathing ecosystem.
