Herbal Medicine through the Senses

If you’ve soothed a sunburn with aloe or applied a black tea bag to a stye, you’ve used basic herbal medicine to support your body. In this beginner-friendly talk, you will meet common medicinal constituents found in a range of plants. Through taste, smell, and touch, you’ll learn to recognize astringent tannins, moistening mucilage, aromatic oils, bitters, and more. We’ll discuss how these constituents interact with the body, and you’ll learn simple ways to use them in everyday life. Samples of fresh plants and herbal preparations will be shared.
