Making Herbal Preparations

Make your own herbal remedies for every season while learning the basics of Herbalism. This is not just a set of videos. It's a live class with an experienced herbalist so you can ask questions and receive guidance while working with medicinal herbs.

With each season, different health challenges arise. For example, we see an increase in colds and flu viruses in the winter and a rise in seasonal allergies in the spring. In this course, we will take a seasonal approach to herbal studies, making preparations that are effective for each season's unique health challenges You'll also create your own herbal reference book, complete with recipes and other useful info that you can refer to when the need arises.

For beginners, this is a wonderful, hands-on way to learn the basics. Experienced herbalists will expand their knowledge while increasing their confidence in working with herbs and creating their own formulas.

Classes meet over Zoom on the first Saturday of each month from 2:00-4:00 PM ET, starting on November 5th, 2022. Each live session will be recorded so you'll have access to the replay in case you have to miss a live session.
