Practical Herbalism: Herbal Alteratives

  • Locust Light Farm 67 Pleasant Valley Rd Titusville, NJ 08560 (map)
herbal alteratives

This hands-on series gets you in the kitchen and out in the garden: harvesting, identifying, smelling, tasting, and making magic with herbs!

In this class we explore the power of herbal alteratives, herbs that encourage gradual change in the body by supporting eliminatory function, often working on the major eliminatory organs.

Why are we starting with alteratives? Because alteratives highlight one of the great strengths of herbalism: bringing the body back into balance by restoring natural function.

Also because many superstar herbal alteratives flourish in the spring!

We will explore:

  • 5 superstar herbal alteratives

  • how these herbs support elimination & interact with major organs

  • what the term “blood purifier” really means

  • why herbal infusions are such a powerful, yet underutilized, herbal remedy

Your takeaway: a handcrafted herbal infusion blend
