Interviews with Our Elders – Roy Upton
Welcome to Sylvan Institute of Botanical Medicine’s Interviews with Our Elders series. Our goal is to celebrate those who are senior members in the herbal medicine community from any branch of herbal medicine. We also hope to offer our listeners a glance into our most recent history and have a better sense of the cogs that make the wheels move in this fascinating field we all love so much. We aim to be somewhat ethnographic, while also making for interesting listening.
