Traditional herbal wisdom in Cyprus

🍀 WYLDE is a collection of episodes in English, where I - Lieve Galle, a Belgian herbalist and wild plant forager since 2002 - talk with fellow herbalists and foragers in Europe. 

Miranda Tringis is a pioneering herbalist with a passion for mediterranean herbs,  sustainability and traditional herbal wisdom.
She moved from The Netherlands to Cyprus at the age of 19 and evolved from intuitively playing with dandelions as a child to studying herbalism and creating a unique place in Cyprus where she blends education, wellness and ecotourism and where people can reconnect with nature.

She shares her story in this warm and sunny conversation.

About how the failing of conventional medicine got her interested in herbal medicine and how years of experimenting lead to a degree as a herbalist.
About where the idea for a botanical park came from, how it all started, and typical visitors.
About how a garden is a living organism that has the ability to heal.
About the different seasons in Cyprus and the short timeframe for foraging.
About herbal teas and tinctures.
About herbalism schools and the legal framework for herbalists in Cyprus.
About how the sunshine and the soil make for extremely aromatic plants and Miranda's favorite Cypriot herbs.
About the economy of nature and how the continuing of traditions also depends on market demand.

And lots more.
