Press Release
Herbal Medicine Chest
Parts I & 2
with Susun Weed
May 22 + 23, 2010
Woodstock, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Safe, Effective Herbal Remedies Can be Made at Home
Susun Weed, founder of the Wise Woman Center, world-renowned herbalist and author, empowers students to take charge of their health. She does this in part by introducing them to the native wisdom of using plants that grow locally and abundantly, and preparing them in their own kitchens. This year, due to the amount of information available, the class has been broken into two parts. Students may attend either one or both of these courses.
Susun’s annual class, “Herbal Medicine Chest,” allows participants to identify, discuss, and learn how to prepare and use simple herbal remedies that prevent and relieve headaches, sunburn, muscle pain, wounds, indigestion, parasites, Lyme disease and more. Remedies such as plantain oil can soothe cuts; yarrow tincture can be used as an insect repellant more effective than DEET; and dandelion root tincture can be carried along on trips to help soothe stomach troubles.
At the Wise Woman Center, one can find most of these plants growing wild, so students have the opportunity to see the live plants, harvest them and prepare them, helping ensure success when done at home.
“Herbal Medicine Chest, Part I” will be held at the Wise Woman Center on May 22, 2010, from 10am-5pm. “Herbal Medicine Chest, Part II” will be held at the Wise Woman Center on the following day, May 23, 2010. The fee of $75 per class includes a delicious wild foods lunch.
To register, contact the Wise Woman Center (address and phone below) or register online at www.wisewomanbookshop.com.
Weather permitting, the class leaves promptly at 10:15 am for a walk in the woods with the goats, where you will have a talking stick ceremony, and lots of time to identify and talk about plants and ask questions. When the goats take a break, a wild food lunch will be prepared and enjoyed. Class size will be kept small to allow personal attention. Class held indoors in case of rain.
Vibrant, passionate, and involved, Susun Weed has an international reputation for her groundbreaking lectures, teachings, and writings on health and nutrition. She challenges conventional medical approaches with humor, insight, and her vast encyclopedic knowledge of herbal medicine. Unabashedly pro-woman, her animated and enthusiastic lectures are engaging and often profoundly provocative.
