Meghan Henshaw

Meghan Henshaw has spent many years studying the plethora of ways in which medicinal plants are woven into the fabric of everyday life. This has led her all over the United States and abroad where she has worn many hats as a field researcher, wildcrafter, herbalist, and educator. Her medicinal plant studies began with an internship with a large herb company twenty years ago and was followed by formal botanical study in herbal science and ethnobotany. Meghan currently has a private practice in Cincinnati and sees clients for one on one herbal support and bodywork.

As Ocotillo Herbals, she teaches herbal classes throughout the Midwest and crafts a line of herbal products which emphasize bioregional plants using herbs she grows in a community garden in the city. She was a Curtis Gates Lloyd Fellow and crafted an herbal zine about medicinal plants that flourish in the Ohio River Valley. Visit ocotilloherbals.com to learn more.
