Presented at the 2019 Northwest Herb Symposium on August 22-25, 2019

An exploration into the herbs surrounding us, this class is designed to introduce people to 10 herbs that are integral to herbal medicine.  The class will cover the materia medica of our 10 herbs via delving into the specific characteristics that define the herb; including: the family it belongs to, botanical characteristics, native region, preferred habitat, constituent content, actions on the body, traditional and current uses, plus any folk lore surrounding the herb and which medicinal preparations can be made utilizing the herb’s vital force.

We will cover herbs that are either native to the Pacific Northwest, or that are easy to grow in the garden in order to bring us all closer to the plant spirits that surround us and are just waiting for us to use them in building an herbal medicine chest.

Goals and Objectives: To introduce participants to 10 plants that are essential for a medicine cabinet to use in home health care.
