Jenni-Leigh Rose

Jenni Rose is a clinical herbalist, auricular therapist, holistic educator, and homesteader dedicated to helping families reclaim health, resilience, and self-sufficiency through practical plant medicine and lifestyle education. She is an instructor and content creator at the HomeGrown Herbalist School of Botanical Medicine, where she develops in depth courses that bridge traditional herbal wisdom with modern physiology and critical thinking.

Jenni’s work centers on empowering individuals to understand their own bodies, make informed health decisions, and build sustainable home-based systems for wellness. She is especially passionate about restoring natural medicine as part of family culture passed down through daily practice and lived experience so that health literacy becomes a generational skill rather than a reactive short-term intervention.

Alongside her professional work, she lives and teaches these principles daily through homesteading, homeschooling, and family life in Idaho with her husband, four children and way too many chickens.

We’ll also dive into the body’s immune response, the physiology of viral illness, and how certain herbs interact with the healing process, empowering you with the why behind the what.
