In todays episode of Propaganda By The Seed we talk with Nicole
from Solidarity Apothecary who is currently in Poland supporting
refugees from Ukraine with Herbal Medicines. From the
website: The main focus of the Solidarity Apothecary is making
and distributing plant medicines to people experiencing state
violence and repression. This includes people being arrested, on
trial, imprisoned, detained or recovering from these experiences,
as well as prisoner families, frontline organisers and more.
In this conversation we talk about the origins of this
project, her experiences as a political prisoner, the
experience of supporting refugees(both in Calais and Poland), and
some of her favorite plant medicines to make. We also discuss
Nicole’s good friend and former partner Anna Campbell who died in
Rojava fighting with the YPG. In this interview we talk about
her books “Overcoming Burnout,”
“The Medicinal Herb Coloring Book,” The Prisoner’s Herbal Book and
a course she offers on making herbal medicines with
glycerin.
