Do Herbs Really Work? Clinical Herbalist Brittany Williams' Honest Answer After 25+ Years

You can study herbs for years, read all the books, memorize the properties… but none of it replaces working with real people. None of it builds your intuition the way practice does, and it definitely doesn't come from AI.

If you've ever wondered whether herbs really work or doubted your abilities as an herbalist, this conversation with clinical herbalist Brittany Williams of Eudemonia Herbs is going to feel like a deep exhale. Brittany shares her 25-plus year journey and gets real about what it takes to grow as an herbalist, why nuance matters, and how experience shapes confidence in ways no algorithm ever could.

What's in this episode:

• Brittany's magical apothecary discovery at Smile Herb Shop
• The "friends, family, and fools" phase of building confidence
• Why herbs work (and when they don't): quality, dosage, and matching
• Meeting people where they are vs. gatekeeping herbalism
• How herbal education creates a ripple effect in communities
• Starting somewhere is better than starting nowhere
