Presented at the 2019 Northwest Herb Symposium on August 22-25, 2019
Herbal therapies have been used for centuries in the care and management of common first aid ailments. I find herbs to have a profound healing effect when used in the right amount, at the right time, in the right preparation. In this class, we will cover how to assess a first aid situation, how to determine whether the condition we are presented with is acute or chronic, how to categorize herbs based on actions needed for quick reference, how to dispense herbal treatments, the types of therapies used in treating most common ailments, as well as group discussion on how one would treat a variety of acute first aid situations.
