Elemental Herbalism Workshop

Elemental Herbalism: A winter study in energetic plant medicine

We will meet twice a month on Sundays, January-March.

Let’s explore the elements and their botanical correspondences. The elements are foundational to all energetic models of herbal medicine, including the great holistic traditions of Greek, Ayurvedic, Chinese & Arabic medicine. We will learn the universal elemental qualities and begin to apply these qualities to plants, people, foods and the seasons. We will cover some of my favorite herbs and discuss how to use different medicinal preparations to accentuate a desired elemental influence. This framework will allow you to understand physical imbalances as patterns of nature, and to craft formulas to address any imbalance.
