Anna Rósa Grasalæknir had been following the refugee crisis in Iraq for quite some time when she started to wonder, "Would the refugee women in these camps like to take herbal classes?"

This question kickstarted a journey that took her from her native Iceland to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq where she taught classes on making ointments with local herbs. The classes were a hit, and she was able to partner with a local woman, Eman, to teach hundreds of women in the camps.

These classes have now become the organization Helping Herbs, in which Anna Rósa draws on her thirty years of experience to teach women how to make herbal products.

In our conversation with Anna Rósa, she shares...


How she founded Helping Herbs
Important lessons she's learned along the way
How anyone can make a difference in their own community
Her favorite herbs to work with and so much more!

You can learn more about Anna Rósa Grasalæknir and check out Helping Herbs here: https://helpingherbs.org

Plus, if you're interested in supporting Helping Herbs and also want to learn more about herbs yourself, you can take Anna Rósa's class "The Healing Power of Icelandic Herbs."
