Are you curious as to why herbal medicine is so effective and what herbs are really doing in your body? In this class, we take a deep dive into plant phytochemistry and energetics to learn the basics of categories of plant constituents and 5 element theory.

Each week, we will taste our way through the 5 flavors and sample what herbs do in our body. Learn how to identify herbal actions and affected body systems by taste, and understand how these compounds can be best extracted in medicine making.

In this class, we will also introduce TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) theory, and how different flavors affect different emotions, organs, and meridians. At the end of each class, we will learn specific Qigong exercises for each flavor and Chinese organ system, to walk away with a practical and hands-on approach to remembering TCM theory for years to come.

Have fun with your new community of aspiring herbalists and holistic healers and connect to other like-minded people just like you.
