Join Clinical Herbalist Amie Daniels at Hole In The Wall Bagels on Saturday, January 31st, from 3:00 - 4:30pm for a Winter Herbal Remedies Workshop.

This workshop will highlight:

• Herbal preparations to utilize for cold and flu season

• Which herbs are appropriate for certain symptoms

• Recipes for herbal remedies, such as elderberry syrup and fire cider

Why use plants and herbs for healing?

Medicinal plants and herbs can restore balance within one's body by providing phytochemicals, or plant compounds, to the cells of our body's systems. When our bodies are in balance, and functioning optimally, they have the ability to heal themselves. Therefore, it is not the plants that heal our bodies specifically, but it is the plants that assist the body in its natural function to heal itself. Wintertime is a wonderful time of the year to use medicinal plants because of cold & flu season. There are many herbs that assist with different cold and flu symptoms, such as a tea blend of elderflower, yarrow flower, and peppermint to help break fevers. Or a steam inhalation of thyme, rosemary, and sage to help with chest congestion and stagnant mucous. Echinacea helps to boost white blood cells to fight off infections, and a sage tea with salt can be used as a gargle for sore throats. If you are interested in natural healing remedies, this workshop is for you!

Date & Time: Saturday, January 31st from 3:00 - 4:30pm

Location: Hole In The Wall Bagels, 754 Main Street, Rockland

Cost: FREE! Registration is required.
