Reishi Mushrooms with Asia Suler + Reishi Maple Truffles Recipe

Herbs with Rosalee

I am thrilled to bring you this conversation about reishi mushrooms with Asia Suler. In this interview, Asia shares reishi through a beautiful lens. If you aren't already welcoming reishi into your life, her sharing will probably inspire you to do so.

As you’ll see, I just finished reading her book, Mirrors in the Earth, which I absolutely loved and highly recommend.

Don’t miss out on getting a free printable recipe card for Asia’s super-yummy and medicinal Reishi Maple Truffles! (You’ll find the link in the “Links” section, further down in this description.)

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

► What makes reishi so unique in the way it supports our immune system

► How nature connection can be so powerfully healing

► Why you shouldn’t buy *whole* dried reishi

Here is one of my favorite takeaways from our conversation:

“Even when a tree fell, that wasn't the end of life in that part of the forest. New flowers came forth, new saplings could spring up. I thought, ‘Well, if nature can heal anything, then so can I.’”

For those of you who don't already know Asia, she is a writer, teacher, herbalist and earth intuitive who lives in the folds of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Asia is the founder of One Willow Apothecaries, an Appalachian-grown company that offers handcrafted herbal medicines and educational experiences in herbalism, animism, ancestral healing and earth-centered personal growth. Asia has guided over 20,000 students in 70+ countries through her immersive online programs. With her writings and teachings, Asia helps people embrace their own unique medicine through a joyful engagement with the natural world. Asia’s first book Mirrors in the Earth: Reflections on Self-Healing from the Living World is available now.

I've been seeing Asia's powerful herbal and healing offerings out in the world for years now. It was such a delight to finally meet her and I’m so happy to share our conversation with you today.
