Air Date – Thursday, 20 August 2026

How may plant medicine, polyvagal theory, and somatic therapy heal trauma? My guest this week on Vox Novus, Elizabeth Guthrie, PhD, combines these for profound healing and post-traumatic growth. Elizabeth gently guides you on your wellness journey, revealing which plant allies can calm your Vagus nerve and usher your nervous system toward a more restorative state. These botanicals, paired with therapeutic exercises, create a customized support system for coping with stress and processing negative experiences. Elizabeth is a clinical herbalist and certified professional aromatherapist. She holds a PhD in Natural Medicine with specializations in naturopathic psychology and herbal medicine, and a Master of Public Health degree in Functional Nutrition. Elizabeth has also been published in the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Herbalists Guild and has authored Essential Oils for Trauma and The Trauma-Informed Herbalist.

Her website is https://TraumaInformedHerbalist.com, and she joins me this week to share her path and new book, Somatic Herbalism: Healing Trauma through Plant Medicine and Polyvagal Theory.
