Learning to Take Care of Ourselves: Healing Herbs for Life
Community Well is excited to offer this FREE class to the communities that we serve so that we can share practical and powerful information that can help to empower individuals to keep making their health a priority.
This class will share an introduction to Immune Support & Respiratory Herbs
There is so much to learn from using plant medicine. Healing oneself and keeping healthy with herbs is very rewarding. As we connect to nature, let’s help each other by using, making and/or growing our own medicine. Where do we start? The easiest and most affordable place is in the kitchen, yet our daily lives or living conditions may impede us from cooking or preparing herbs every day. Depending on our lifestyles, teas, tinctures, powders, or other forms of herbal medicine can help us support our bodies during the winter! This session introduces us to a few herbs we can incorporate into our lives daily, especially as the pandemic continues.
Who would benefit from this class?
Individuals who want to learn about how to incorporate herbs into their everyday lives as a form of self-care
Individuals who are interested in natural and preventative ways of supporting their immune system
Parents who want to integrate herbs into their health practices for the whole family
Service providers & frontline workers who want to learn easy and practical ways that herbs can support and fortify their health and overall wellness
