Want to learn how to recognize medicinal plants & how we can work with them?—e.g. yarrow to assist with stopping bleeding of a topical cut, chewing plantain and applying to a wasp sting, yellow dock root for helping to alleviate constipation.
Come learn about:
* how you can use local plants at home to support your health - for which health concerns
* which parts of the plants to harvest
* optimal timing for harvesting
* how to prepare them (external or internal use; tea or tincture, etc.), and more.
This event is for anyone who has a general interest in plants, natural remedies, or is new to herbal medicine. We will discuss a few medicinal qualities for each plant but not go into extensive detail.
Specific plants we'll review include:
- Goldenrod
- Raspberry

- Plantain
- Cedar trees
- White pine trees
& more TBA - likely tansy & yarrow
