THE HERBAL HEALING CIRCLE DISCUSSES NERVINES POSTPONED

was July 13, now Aug 10, 1:30-2:30
$12-$20 sliding scale

Dear friends and seekers of natural healing;

Nervines are a class of herbs that help calm, nourish, and regulate the nervous system. All of us from time to time operate from a mode of fight or flight:

  • non-stop going
  • on guard
  • overstimulated
  • reacting to the pressures around us
  • waiting for the other shoe to drop

which means we are stressing ourselves out, leading to frazzled nerves, tension, and burnout. As a friend of mine likes to say, "Stress is NAUGHTY!" Chronic stress can lead to premature aging, anxiety, poor digestion, high blood pressure, and inflammatory diseases.

Nervines can remind us how to relax; how to return to ourselves. So come and be prepared to get blissed out with nourishing tea infusions and herbal extracts. We'll discuss herbs such as holy basil, hawthorn, blue vervain, eleuthero, milky oats, motherwort, chamomile, skullcap, valerian, and passionflower.

There will be handouts concerning nervines plus instructions for making herbal infusions and decoctions at home.

Green Blessings, and hope to see you soon,

Melanie Rose
