There is so much to learn from using plant medicine. Healing oneself and keeping oneself healthy 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 winter! This session introduces us to a few herbs we can incorporate into our lives daily, especially during the pandemic. In 2021we will continue with this series, but this jumpstart will help us get through the winter holidays.
