Way of the Herbs October 9, 2010

This class is an introduction to some of the principles of herbal medicine with a focus on meeting and understanding the actions of the medicinal plants that grow locally here in the Piedmont. We will sample a few different plant preparations and we will go on a walk to get to know some of the healing plants that grow in the gardens, fields and forests all around us. In this experience, we will weave together traditional folk medicine, modern science and botany.
