Herbalism teaches us that we must shift with the seasons. Join us for our second class on Energetics – The Energetics of Winter! In ancient forms of herbal medicine, winter has been known as a time for slowing down, and warming up. Many herbalists use Fire Cider to help boost the immune system and provide warmth to the body. Join us for a class on herbs and foods for winter and learn how to make your own immune strengthening elixir.
Make your own Fire Cider using fresh garlic, onions, ginger, horseradish and chili peppers. The remedy is used to help warm up the body, and generally acts a stimulant and antimicrobial used during cold and flu season. Two of Anima Mundi’s in-store herbalists, Sophie and Marisa, will lead us through a discussion on herbs and foods for the winter. Marisa will talk from an Ayurvedic standpoint and Sophie will bring in the Western Herbalism perspective. Learn how to boost your immunity and nourish your body this season, in the form of Fire Cider! Learn how to incorporate herbs into your life this Winter and honor your body with the changing of the seasons.
