Herbs for First Aid, Skin Health and Nervous System Support with the co-founder of Green Goo Jodi Scott | Episode 120
What if your skin is doing far more than protecting your body? From nervous system signalling to immune function, the health of your skin may influence much more than most people realize.
In this episode, I am talking to Jodi Scott, co-founder of Green Goo. We explore the connection between skin health, the nervous system, herbal first aid, inflammation, and why reconnecting with plants and nature can support overall wellness. Jodi also shares practical ways to build a natural first aid kit and simple daily habits that can support both physical and mental health.
