It was so much fun to have Richo Cech on the show to talk about the benefits of Andrographis, also known as the “king of bitters.” Besides all things Andrographis, Richo also covers some gardening advice and even life philosophies. We also hear why Richo loves chilis so much and what he includes in his herbal medicine kit. • As a listener, you also have access to Richo’s recipe for Andrographis tincture (and you’ll hear why this is one of the herbal medicines Richo reached for when he came down with COVID). There’s a free, downloadable and printable recipe card available just for you, which you can find in the resource section below. • By the end of this episode, you’ll know: • ► The experience that introduced Richo to the healing power of herbs • ► Why Richo recommends Andrographis in tincture form • ► Richo’s favorite herbs to cook with • ► Why observing nature is the foundation to gardening • ► Why growing just a few plants can be more productive than growing many • ► The three herbs Richo includes in his antiseptic tincture • ► and so much more… • For those of you who don’t already know him, Richard A. (Richo) Cech has dedicated his life to finding, growing and disseminating seeds of medicinal plants, shrubs, vines, trees, and open-pollinated vegetables. He has botanized throughout the US, Canada, South America, Europe, China and Africa in search of native plants and has introduced many unique medicinal herb species to the US. His work may be enjoyed by reading any of his books and by visiting his website at www.strictlymedicinalseeds.com. • This was my first time meeting Richo, but I’ve been benefiting from his herbal presence for decades from his books, seeds, and plant starts. I grow so many different herbal plants thanks to his company, Strictly Medicinal Seeds, so it was a special delight to finally connect with him in person! • I’m thrilled to share our conversation with you today! • • -- RESOURCES -- • ► Get your free, downloadable recipe card, plus herbal goodies every Wednesday when you sign up for my weekly newsletter: https://bit.ly/3ViYMTN • ► Access the transcript for this episode here: https://www.herbalremediesadvice.org/... • ► Richo’s website: https://strictlymedicinalseeds.com/ • ► Richo’s Instagram: / strictlymedicinalseeds • ► Richo’s Facebook: / strictlymedicinalseeds • ► Are you looking for high quality dried herbs?
