Rising Appalachia- Medicine [Official Music Video]

Artist: Rising Appalachia Song: Medicine Album: Wider Circles Location: Lake Tahoe & Appalachia For more information on Rising Appalachia go to or “Medicine” is a song-anthem honoring the traditions of folk medicine; plant-based medicine as a tool for empowerment and healing. It is a call to action to support the voices of the herbalists, healers, and teachers… the roots, plants, trees, and stones… the arts, the spirits, and the wild ones. It is an honoring of all the many ways that we can be well, and the radical and traditional ways in which we can steward health within ourselves. This song is a direct tribute to the people around the world who are holding and teaching these ways of herbal plant-based medicine, educating us all to know our gardens, our forests, our plants and our own bodies... to bring wellness back into our own hands and communities. It is not a dismissal of modern medicine, but a gratitude and honoring of its ancestry and foundations within folkloric traditions. As we are moving into a new season, a new time, and a new chapter, we offer this song as a ritual anthem for this transition and time of great change. “ ~ Rising Appalachia Directed by Jeremy Jensen & Ashley Owen Edited by Jeremy Jensen Cinematographers: Jeremy Jensen, Taylor Hellhake & Ashley Owen Big thanks to: Kevin Wood () Paula Crews Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine Bianca Dee Almeta Rosemary Gladstar For more work from...
