Community Herbalism Intensive
May 12, 2015
This series will provide a foundation in Western Constitutional Herbalism and its impact on the specific needs in our community in Franklin County. This course will be a combination of classroom discussions, wild plant walks, foraging, and cultivation of medicinal plants. We will meet weekly with a focus on clinical herbalism, access to healthcare and self-care in our community. You will learn about cultivating, caretaking and harvesting herbs; preparing different forms of herbal medicine; body systems and constitutional assessment; identifying plants, ethical wildcrafting, plant energetics, herbal first aid and creating a home apothecary for your personal needs. We will develop a series of herbal protocols to address pressing needs in our community.
