Due to the large amount of requests on this topic we decided to offer this workshop again this year and what perfect timing as we are stepping into Fall!
This will be jam packed with useful information and as always there will be hands-on medicine making.
All are welcome to attend!
Over the last several months we've had more men and women wanting to learn about herbs and how to incorporate them into their daily living.
This will be a very informative workshop and it is my mission to share the knowledge that I have gained with each of you so that you will gain confidence and know how to work with herbal allies safely.
Herbal Medicine is the People's Medicine & need not be complicated.
As part of my work I have assisted many in our Community with their parasite cleanses. There is important information and knowledge that you should have to ensure that you are doing your cleanse safely and properly to ensure that you have positive results.
This Herbal Workshop is perfect for beginners and there is no prior knowledge required! This is going to be a dual-topic workshop where you will not only be learning how to use herbs for health & wellness but you will also be making your own herbal preparations to take home! There has been quite an interest in these topics so combining the two made perfect sense.
Note: It is very important to build the body/system before doing a cleanse of any kind.
In the 1st half of this workshop you will be learning about Appalachian Herbs for Vitality and how to prepare these herbal brews. Herbs that nourish & build your body's system in preparation for a long cold fall/winter. You'll also be learning about several nutrient-dense herbs, herbs that combat fatigue, support liver & kidneys, reduce inflammation and build the blood. There will be demonstrations & sampling of tea/infusions. You will be getting up close & personal with the herbs that we will be discussing. This includes making a few of your own herbal preparations to take home!
For the 2nd half we will discuss natural approaches to a parasite purge/cleanse using plant-based protocols, including the role of bitter herbs and supportive digestive aides that are rooted in folk practices like spring/fall tonics. The 1st half of the workshop plays a crucial role in preparing oneself for a parasite cleanse. Discussion and pictures of specific parasites that are most common. We will discuss specific herbs used to assist your body in getting rid of parasites, binders & different herbal preparations with these herbs and there will also be samples for you to try. There will be a lot of useful information covered here and there will also be time for questions.
Attendees will receive printouts on the topics we will be discussing and there will also be herbal tea & light refreshment for you to enjoy!
Be sure to bring something to write with and take notes in.
Our door will be open a little early if you'd like to come and get settled in. We will begin at 1:30 Central Time.
We will take a few breaks in-between topics to stretch and enjoy refreshment and look around the Apothecary. We look forward to seeing you soon!
