This course will explore the fascinating world of herbal medicine, delving into the history, science, and practical applications of plants used for healing. We will examine the medicinal properties of safe and readily available plants, learn about safe preparation methods for herbal remedies, and explore the cultural and historical significance of herbal traditions. The course will emphasize a holistic approach to wellness, encouraging participants to understand the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, and to cultivate a deeper connection with nature and the healing power of plants. To conclude our studies, we will make an herbal tea blend to support our immune health for the fall/winter months. Each student will be making an herbal tea blend with herbs that I source from my garden and/or from Fare Share Coop in Norway, Maine. Additionally, we will be bringing our tea blends home in a mason jar which I will purchase for each student in advance.
