Like an old time apothecary, today’s show mixes a dash of music, a pinch of humor, and a dose of herbalist remedies to kick-start your day.

And speaking of herbs – those of the more legal variety – Karyn Schwartz, a highly regarded community herbalist, and owner of the Sugarpill on Seattle’s Capitol Hill, stops in for a discussion on the state of naturopathic medicine and homeopathic treatments.  And ultimately, what is an Herbalist?
