Fall Herbal Medicine Chest Class in Urbana, IL

Herbal Medicine Chest Course Medicinal Herbalist Catherine Novak (and owner of Beads N Botanicals) teaches this course. She says, “Over the years, I’ve discovered that each individual herb has so much to teach us about healing and our relationship to nature. Just when I make the mistake of thinking I know almost everything about an herb’s properties, I learn of another through direct life experience or knowledge shared with me by herbalists whom I respect.”

This course will cover somewhere between 25 and 50 herbs altogether. However, you should be very pleased with yourself if you develop a working knowledge of considerably less. The Herbal Medicine Chest covers holistic approaches to “medicine,” a traditional Chinese medicine view of “medicine,” and a Native American perspective on “medicine.”

You will learn how to use herbs safely and responsibly; methods of preparing herbs; suggested herbs to keep on hand for everyday use; how to make herbal oil infusions and salves; and how to use wild edibles as food and medicine.
At the end of this class you will take home an herbal healing salve created during this class.

Five Weeks on Wednesday nights, from 6:15pm to 7:45pm. starting September 18, 25, October 2, 16 and 23 (no class on Oct 9 because of Reiki Circle.)
