About the Class
The immune system is influenced by far more than the herbs we take when we feel something coming on. Sleep, stress, nutrition, hydration, and daily habits all play a role in how well the body responds during cold and flu season.
In this class, weāll explore herbs traditionally used to support immune health, along with practical ways to work with them throughout the season. Weāll discuss the differences between herbs used for everyday support and those more appropriate at the first signs of illness.
Youāll also learn how to choose useful preparations, including teas, tinctures, syrups, broths, and steams, and how to create a manageable seasonal herbal toolkit for yourself and your household.
No previous herbal experience is required. This class is designed to help you make thoughtful, informed choices rather than collecting products without knowing when or how to use them.
