- Join clinical herbalist, field botanist, and nutrition educator, Shana Lipner Grover, as she brings us to Mount Pisgah Arboretum to discuss one of her favorite plants in the Berberidaceae family: Oregon grape. Shana loves Oregon grape for its bitter tannins and its affinity for liver and gut health. This wonderful western North American plant ally can be harvested sustainably and can be easily identified by its spiny leaves, blue berries, and golden flowers.
🤓 Shana is a clinical herbalist, health and nutrition educator, and field botanist. She was a student of award-winning herbalist Michael Moore and also one of Mountain Rose Herbs' favorite herbalists, Howie Brounstein. Today, she is the director and primary educator of Sage Country Herbs School of Botanical Studies in San Diego, CA.

Glad it was helpful! - Gracie

Thank you!
Oh, Shana, you are so brilliant and fabulous. I love you. 😘
I love you Julie James!!!
I love this video, and I just "met" oregon grape this last summer in the Mount Shasta area. I was wondering - are there poisonous "look alike" plants that we should be aware of? And how do you tell them apart if there are?
this information is worth its weight in gold
I totally agree! Shana is a great teacher :) - Gracie
Nature in fist person. Awesome narrative and a needed one.
Couldn't agree more!
Thank You ✨💜✨
You are so welcome! 💜
Can you guys do a video about motherwort? I feel like its such an underrated herb I use it in tea form along with calendula and fennel before bed ❤️
Great suggestion! I'll add it to our list :) - Gracie
Awesome 🔐 🔐🎊
I love Oregon grape. I see them frequently hiking in Idaho, but very close to the ground. I guess they are the same.
How interesting! Isn't it magical how plants grow differently across a region! Enjoy :) - Gracie
❤️👏Wonderful video. Well done. What are the things you can't mix it with?
Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words! While Oregon grape root is generally safe topically, we would suggest reaching out to your qualified herbalist, naturopath, or doctor to see what is best for you and your health ❤
What an inspiring teacher. This lady is to herbalism, as is Alton Brown is to cooking.
What is her name? And has she written any books on herbalism?
Hi Mike! While I don't think Shana Lipner Grover has written any books, she does offer hybrid online and in-person herbalism classes and apprenticeships. She is also lovely to talk to and is super responsive on her social media channels! You can find those links in the video description. If you'd like to visit her website to learn more about her educational materials, you can find that here: www.sagecountryherbs.com

Can i make a root tincture and just use a few drops to pbtain the bitters?
Hi there! Oregon grape root tincture has a bitter taste and can be taken on the tongue or in warm, still, or sparkling water. You can also add it to a homemade bitters blends for a healthful delight. If you plan on taking it alone, that's great. Oregon grape root extract also pairs well with bitter and aromatic botanicals such as gentian root extract, burdock root extract, or chamomile extract. As always, it's best to consult a qualified healthcare practitioner for your specific health needs before starting a new herbal remedy.
As a kid id get empty blue berry containers and fill them with organ grape berries just to troll people 😂
So I think I need to ask this question
I don't have a thyroid and on synthroid. Would this not be good to make and take?
Now I understand why people eat bitter melon now.
I really like you. You teach very thoroughly so that's why
When you kinda skimmed over thyroid issue I was hoping you would go a little deeper about it.
Hi there Parsi! Unfortunately at Mountain Rose, we can't comment on medical issues. I would suggest reaching out to Shana directly (linked in the video description--she is very responsive on social media) or finding another qualified herbalist, naturopath, or doctor to ask if there would be any complications. I hope you find the answer you are looking for! - Gracie
I don't have a thyroid either and I'm on synthroid as well.
I would like to know more about the osha root in it's natural environment.
Hi Candy! Osha is such an interesting plant :) Unfortunately, we don't have any osha plant walks yet, but I'll be sure to add it to our ever growing list! - Gracie
@@mountainroseherbs thank you! I have been a customer of, Mountain Rose for at least 15 years. You cannot beat the quality. The land stewardship is amazing.
I ♡ permaculture.
Does Oregon root work for a stye ???
I purchased a small amount of Oregon Grape dried root shavings, but I can't figure out what to do with it. I tried to create a powder by grinding it with a spice grinder but it is too hard. Not sure if I can make a tea with this. The description on the product webpage says "intended for further proccessing."
It’s this something that can be use long term?
Hi there! We would suggest finding a qualified naturopath or herbalist to help you find what uses and length of time would be appropriate for your specific needs :)
So how does this work if you don't have a gallbladder?
Those who've had their gallbladders removed still make bile in the liver, but have no ability to concentrate it without a gallbladder. Oregon Grape is a liver stimulant to bile production, so it's helpful to those without gallbladders by increasing the amount of bile produced.

Are the flowers medicinal at all?
Hi there! Although the flowers are edible, most of Oregon grape's medicinal qualities are concentrated in the root.

I live in the desert there are no plants so I spend allot of money for tinctures. It is what it is 😔
