Ways of the Herbs May 8, 2011

This class is an introduction to some of the principles of herbal medicine with a focus on meeting and understanding 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 ancestral folk medicine, modern science and traditional wisdom. Pre-registration is highly recommended for all weekend programs. Please register by the Wednesday prior to the weekend. To register, call (919) 489-0900.
