Ancient memories arise in you when you begin to use herbal medicine - memories which keep you safe and fill you with delight. Our ancestors used - and our neighbors around the world still use - plant medicines for healing and health maintenance. In our first session we learned how to "listen" to the messages of plant's tastes. The third session helped us distinguish safe nourishing and tonifying herbs from the more dangerous stimulating and sedating herbs. Our fourth session focused on poisons in herbs and entered the herbal pharmacy to herbal tinctures, which we collected into an Herbal Medicine Chest.

It is simple, safe, effective, and free. You can do it too, and you don't need a degree or any special training. These lessons are designed to nourish and activate your inner herbalist so you can be your own herbal expert. Our fifth session found us still in. In session two we learned about simples and how to make effective water-based herbal remedies.
