at The Alchemist's Kitchen in Stockton Market
Our introduction herbal classes are open to all, from curious beginners to budding herbalist's and blooming healers!
with Amanda Midkiff
Saturday, March 30th
11:00-12:30pm
Our bodies begin to wake up in the spring just as the earth does. After a long winter, our internal organs and body systems kick into higher gear and are ready to cleanse. Our bodies are connected to the earth in this way, and the plants that first appear are supportive of this cleansing process.
The earth provides beautiful plants to support our body during this seasonal shift. We will explore the healing powers of dandelion, violet, nettle, and burdock root, all of which are plentiful at this time of year. We will learn about the liver's role in detoxifying and how to support that crucial function. And we will learn about the healing power of the bitter flavor, sample herbal bitters, and learn how to make them at home.
This is a demonstration class but samples and handouts will be provided.
