the womb room podcast episode 17:
plant allies for cervical healing with allie cuozzo
I’ve been honored to walk with many women on a cervical healing journey.
What I know to be true deep in my bones is that cultivating a vital, nourished, open, connected relationship with cervix is a SPIRITUAL path.
Ultimately, it’s not about one plant.
It’s not a singular diet change.
It’s not getting rid of everything “bad” and trying to be “good.”
It’s about orienting yourself to being in deep DEVOTION to the root of your earth — your cervix.
It’s about choosing yourself, over and over again, and the willingness to unwind patterning around s e x u a l shame, contraction, old narratives, and past traumas, and creating a new paradigm of safety, openness and ease.
With all that said…we don’t have to do it alone.
There are a multitude of herbal allies that can support us on our winding paths, that touch both the science and the sacred of how we support our innate capacity to heal.
In today's episode, I share my conversation with fellow herbalist and cervix-lover, Allie Cuozzo, about the science and magic of herbal medicine specifically for tending to cervical dysplasia.
Allie’s practice is deeply rooted in cervical healing, and she approaches the path with deep trust and reverence for the healing nature of the female body.
In our gentle and meandering conversation, we touch on:
Reframing cervical "abnormalities" (8:30)
Allie's journey to the plant path and how a brain injury led her deeper into womb work (15:00)
The body systems involved in cervical health (38:00)
3 favorite plant allies and usages for cervical dysplasia (53:00)
The spirit of "clear margins" and the connection to cervix and boundaries (63:45)

Allie also offers 1:1 support for those healing cervical dysplasia, and has a few workshops coming in January — Check out her herbal practice, Earth Allies, to work with her!
If you’re curious about the clinical research behind some of these herbal allies, you can dive into these studies:
One study on anti-cancer properties of Bloodroot (Sanguinaria)
Importance of resveratrol (found high in Japanese knotweed) for immune regulation
