Herbal Medicine for Body Type ~ NEW! Sarah SorciIt is easy to fall into matching herbs to diseases: “turmeric for joint pain,” or “St. John’s Wort for depression.” However, holistic herbalism acknowledges that herbs successfully support health when we match their properties to one’s body type—not just a symptom. For example, an individual with cold extremities and dry skin may choose herbs that are more warming and moistening than turmeric for joint pain.In this five week class, Community Herbalist Sarah Sorci will borrow from traditional western herbalism, Indian Ayurvedic medicine, and Chinese Medicine to teach how to match herbs to body type. In week one, we will use these traditions to name our own body’s tendencies and “type.”In week two, we will learn to use our senses to determine what an herb’s effects might be in the body (for example, bitter herbs are cooling digestive stimulants. Sour herbs often tone and tighten tissue).In weeks three – five, we will discuss focus on 4-6 specific herbs each week, learning which body types/states they are most appropriate for. Sarah will focus on herbs that can be easily grown or sustainably wild-harvested in western NY.Each participant will sample herbal preparations, and take home materials to make your own herbal tincture or tea at home.Thursdays, October 19 - November 16 7:00-8:30pm 5 sessions Cost: $68 HS Room 154
