Herbs nurture the body’s innate healing capacity; they gently allow your body to heal itself and regain strength and vitality. Herbal medicine is the art and science of skillfully collecting, preparing and using herbs.
In this seminar you will learn about a variety of common, easy to grow herbs and their medicinal value, as well as the basics for growing, harvesting and drying your own herbs. Return home with calendula salve made in class and an herbal tea blend you put together yourself.
The yogis have long depended upon herbal treatments – along with asanas (postures), diet, and other natural remedies – to heal the body & mind of common maladies. In that spirit, this seminar will also feature a short gentle yoga and meditation session.
