Join us in the vibrant CSHS medicinal herb garden for this five week, entry level course. Learn to identify and use abundant springtime plants, make herbal remedies in our lab, and learn firsthand the healing power of herbs. Each week we will focus on different plants as they come into season -- nettles, cleavers, violets, calendula and more will be covered!
We will focus on how to incorporate herbs into our daily lives to best support our bodies as we move through seasonal changes ~ Learn to manage seasonal allergies, gain experience with basic wound care protocols, and  learn how to support healthy digestion for overall immunity. 
Hands-on learning is emphasized in this course. You will learn how to make herbal teas, springtime vinegars, tinctures, glycerites, and more!
Learn food as medicine techniques to incorporate springtime herbs into your diet.
* Receive recipes, samples, and lots of in-class tastings!
* Learn to identify, harvest, and process spring medicinal plants.
This class is designed to be an introduction to herbal medicine, but all experience levels are welcome.
 
It is intended for students to take both Spring and Fall Essentials, as the information in each course is different and relevant to the seasons.
