Reconneting Plant Medicine to People
The Harmony Hub, 15 Queen's Rd, Chorley PR7 1JU, Lancashire.
Its great to be back doing face to face classes at the Harmony Hub in Chorley and a in place that's just opposite to Asley Park with its glorious Lime trees overlooking the hub and Dojo next door. The classes are held in the Dojo where there is plenty of space to relax and feel welcome. In this series of workshops, we focus on local herbs either those easily foraged or growing locally through the seasons or in spices that are sourced from local markets or grocers. The aim of these classes is to reconnect local people back to our herbal heritage, focusing on plant identification and getting to learn about them in an experiential way through guided tastings and discussions. there will always be a demonstration of medicines that can be made in home kitchens.

Its late summer and mama Nature keeps giving and giving. These two local and abundant herbs are big healers. Yarrow with its antibacterial, digestive, circulatory and first aid uses and meadowsweet that is the plant aspirin as well as being a great digestive herb. We will be delving deep into their medicine with guided tastings, discussions on their medicine as well as the usual demonstration of a medicine this time how to make a stove top hydrosol.
