HERBS FOR PAIN & TRAUMA I
TO BE DETERMINED
TBD
As someone who practices martial arts and has two important martial arts/herb teachers in my life, this subject is near and dear to my heart. Plus, all of us know of someone who will experience pain and trauma in their life. This is one area where herbs can really shine and be an integral part of a pain management plan. Herbs can also heal, where conventional treatment just masks. This will be a two part series. The first workshop will introduce you to all sorts of remedies for pain and how to choose the best ones. We're going to talk about herbs, dit da jow, salves, CBD, moxa, kava, and Chinese formulas. You'll have a chance to sample some of these things and impress your friends with your range of knowledge. You will leave feeling confident that you can go to any health store and have some idea of what to do with these remedies.

ABOUT OUR MEDICINE MAKING SERIES
Our Medicine Making Series will focus on common herbal remedies that anyone can make. Herbs are considered the people's medicine and it's our human right to be able to use plants to heal ourselves. This knowledge has been traditionally passed down from generation to geneneration, though in Western culture, herbal remedies have been pushed aside for allopathic medicine that may or may not give the intended healing result. We believe that we should have access to ALL healing modalities in order to integrate the best options for optimal health, whether holistic, allopathic, or complimentary.
