Description

What is herbalism? Herbalism is as ancient as life itself. It predates recorded history, oral history, and even human beings. It is the foundation of all other forms of medicine & is the respectful use of whole plant materials such as leaves, flowers, fruit, seed, stem, bark, root, moss, lichen, seaweed or fungi to support & maintain health but also to prevent, alleviate, or resolve root causes of dis-ease. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 75-80% of the world’s population still relies on medicinal plant preparations for their primary healthcare needs. In this introductory class we will delve into the benefits of herbs for holistic health. We will unpack the foundations of herbal medicine & snippets of its history. We will discuss basic herbal preparations & you will learn the benefits of at least 5 different herbs you can work with at home. Together we will taste a few herbs while discussing their energetic actions on the body & identify what makes them work. Each participant will go home with a tea sample. $40 ticket per person. Each participant will also receive a 15% coupon for their next B.Willow purchase.
