Join us for a special opportunity to learn from the renowned herbalist & author Margi Flint. This 3-day intensive will focus on reading the face & body’s features to inform us of deficiencies, patterns and organs in need of support. Each color, line and marking on the tongue, face and nails holds meaning of your internal health. Interwoven into this weekend we will come to also understand the magical dance between our endocrine glands, and how they relate to our organs. All of this knowledge will assist us in having a more complete understanding of our client’s overall health story and which herbs to call on for balance. Reading the body’s signs offers practitioners confirmation, or better still, initial direction for the herbs to be consumed. You can see many of these indications change when better health is achieved!
In Margi’s words: “To understand the importance of visual indications has been the foundation of my practice. Face, tongue and fingernails, toes, colors and the wide variety of lines and their depth is crucial for accurate understanding of energetic health. The physical body cannot be separated from the spiritual or mental aspects of self. Those skills taught by the late William LeSassier and then new indications from David Winston, and then Matthew Wood, have allowed me to find compliance with clients, narrow down the decisions about which herbs to employ with each client, and confirm my thoughts around which endocrine gland, organ system, or emotional state is under duress. The energetics appear on, in, and into words in unique ways with each person who sits before me. I do believe this skill needs to be introduced early in herbal studies.
Included in our practice time we will explore Confirmations with Drop-Pulse testing. This involves testing drops of tinctures or a bit of plant material to the client’s wrist and noting their body’s response. Clients love this testing, for they are directly involved in the process. When confirmed with a positive reaction the drop is next experienced on the tongue. They are joining their energies with the herbs to feel a response, whilst we observe physical changes or feel pulse changes under our fingertips. As a practitioner I note pulse, pupil, color, tension, temperature, moisture and overall impact of our plant friends on the person sitting before me.”
As an added bonus Margi will help us understand the magic dance between our endocrine glands, which never ends, we achieve more complete understanding of our client’s overall health story. How do the organs relate to each gland?
As usual, we will also incorporate drop-pulse testing to see how clients respond to different herbs. Clients are directly involved in the process. Herbalists can test tinctures, dried herbs, fresh herbs or simply write words on a paper to sense client responses. You will observe their response, they will tell what they felt, the class will see numerous indications for good or not so good responses. Attendees will learn to note pulse, pupil, color, tension, temperature, moisture, and overall impact of our plant friends on the person sitting before them.
It does help to have some basic understanding of herbal medicine to get the full benefit of this class, but it is open to all who wish to attend. It is sure to be a deep dive, and you will leave with greater insights as to how plants can affect the human body.
