THIS HANDS-ON SERIES GETS YOU IN THE KITCHEN CRAFTING, BLENDING, FORMULATING, AND MAKING MEDICINE WITH HERBS!

This class will serve is part of our Practical Herbalism Series.

Herbal adaptogens have become something of a buzzword lately — and a misunderstood buzzword, at that.

In this class, we will explore the ways that adaptogens support our response to stress, increase resilience, and build stamina. We will learn what is and is not an adaptogen, and which adaptogens are most appropriate for different health pictures.

You will learn the foundational skills of herbal infusions and decoctions, and you will make a decoction blend to take home.

Herbs you’ll meet: Ashwagandha, Eleuthero, American Ginseng, Asian Ginseng, Shatavari, Rhodiola, Schisandra, Shilajit
