Common Roots
Common Roots is a podcast run by the wife-and-wife team of Caitlin and Cheshire. We are American-born residents of the beautiful seaside community of Brighton in the UK. Caitlin is a practicing herbalist and Cheshire is a history buff. We are both seekers of justice and knowledge. Each episode dives into plant-based medicine, complementary medicines, the history of healthcare, and more. Our goal is to shine a light on marginalised communities that banded together to take care of one another, and how you can incorporate natural, plant-based wellness into your life to improve your health, ease your stress, and help your community.

In this week’s episode, we explore the HIV/AIDS crisis through the lens of holistic healing, looking at how physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing intersect. We also discuss the spiritual significance of the Ash tree and its traditional symbolism.
Alongside the conversation, we guide a meditation that you’re welcome to join in with whether you’re drinking a herbal tea or just relaxing in your bedroom.

Welcome to Common Roots.
In our pilot episode, we introduce ourselves and begin an open, honest conversation about psychedelics, exploring Cheshire’s personal experiences, the potential benefits, and the possible risks.
Common Roots is a safe, inclusive space to learn about herbalism, altered states, and the many ways they can impact our lives.
