Roots and Remedies: The Power of Local Herbs

Imagine a world where the remedies for our health issues lie not in a pharmacy, but in the roots, leaves, and flowers beneath our feet. In this episode of my new series— Healing traditions from across cultures, we venture deep into the mystical forests of Arunachal Pradesh, nestled in the eastern Himalayas, where nature’s ancient wisdom thrives. Our guide on this journey is none other than Dr Yanung Jamoh Lego, a 2024 Padma Shri awardee and a revered herbalist who has dedicated her life to preserving and practising the traditional healing methods of her ancestors.

Yanung’s incredible story begins with her own battle against numerous health challenges. When modern medicine failed her, she turned to the herbal knowledge passed down through generations in her family. Not only did she heal herself, but she also became a beacon of hope for her community, using the potent herbs of the region to treat ailments ranging from respiratory issues to stress.

In this episode, we discuss fascinating herbal traditions of Arunachal Pradesh. As Yanung speaks, you’ll be transported into a world where nature is revered as the ultimate healer, and where each plant holds a story, a history, and a divine connection. Whether you’re a believer in natural remedies or just curious about this ancient knowledge, this episode will leave you inspired and amazed at the healing power of nature.

Tune in to find out all about the secrets of Arunachal Pradesh’s herbal treasures, and learn how these time-honoured traditions could hold the key to better health and well-being for us all.
