Plant Walk: Women's Wellness

Class Description

Painful cramps have you curled up in a ball? Hot flashes keep you tossing and turning all night? Premenstrual mood swings have you losing your cool? Learn how to find greater balance with herbs! Join us for a guided plant walk in the herbalist’s garden, all about herbs for women’s wellness! Whether you’re experiencing periods, pregnancy, or perimenopause, herb’s offer gentle support for the transitions of a woman’s life. They can help calm our nervous systems, nourish our bodies, and build resilience as we move through these transitions. As we move through the garden, you'll experience herbs to help balance your cycle, soothe premenstrual sadness (or rage!), ease menstrual cramps, calm anxiety and promote restful sleep, cool hot flashes and night sweats, tone the uterus and more! After our plant walk, we’ll cool off indoors with an iced herbal beverage from the garden. We’ll discuss herbal safety, sourcing, sustainability, preparations and additional herbs. My hope is you’ll leave the class feeling connected in community, nourished and inspired to work with herbs! Herbs covered may include: vitex, black cohosh, black haw, lady's mantle, motherwort, blue vervain, yarrow, raspberry leaf, chamomile, lemon balm, spearmint, sage, angelica, dong quai, damiana, shatavari, nettles Taught by Clinical Herbalist and owner of Sequoia Herbals, Lisa Fouladbash Date: Sunday June 28, 11-1:30 PM (rain date July 12th same time, please make sure both days are free.
