Herbal Medicine 101: Prepare for the Winter Woes

Cold and flu season, post-fall allergies, seasonal affective disorder… Winter has lots in store for us! But it’s not all sniffles and despair when our herbal allies are right by our side! Join us for our annual edition of healing herbs for the winter woes where we prepare our medicine cabinet for the season ahead.

Meet echinacea, mullein, elderberry, astragalus, linden, usnea, osha, boneset and more. These plants are renowned for their anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and immune supporting effects. Sip on delicious mullein milk and join us as we learn about their healing properties, how to prepare them and how to use them for colds, flus and infections. These are heartwarming and heart opening medicines that will nourish you all winter long, especially through times of transformation. In this hands-on workshop, we will be making various remedies from these plants including elderberry elixirs and various tinctures.

Light refreshments will be served.

Space is limited, please register in advance!
