My Dear Herbal Enthusiast:
Summer is upon us and here in Texas we are always looking for ways to stay cool. You can always drink iced herbal teas. They are refreshing, healthful, delicious and will help you stay cool. During the summer I garden in the early mornings and stay in the shade, in the water or in the A/C during the heat of the day.

TRADITIONS OF THE NEW ENGLAND ROOT DOCTORS
http://brighidswellherbs.com/home/?p=292
with Sean Donahue of Brighid's Well Herbs
Online, October 1 – December 1
$150
In the eighteen and nineteenth centuries, rural New England root doctors blended some of the energetic understandings of British folk medicine with what they learned from Native peoples about the plants around them and developed a system of medicine based on working with and supporting the actions’ of the body’s vital force. Samuel Thomson of New Hampshire condensed this system into a series of easy to understand principles and practices, and launched a movement that sought to empower people to take their health care back from the physicians of the day whose methods relied heavily on bloodletting and the use of toxic compounds like Mercury.
Building on this foundation, a later generation would develop the science of Physiomedicalism which informs many strains of contemporary herbalism. This course will explore the philosophy, energetic systems, and therapeutics of the New England root doctors and the Physiomedicalists, and look at how we can apply their insights today.
Register by Sept 21, by emailing herbalists@brighidswellherbs.com. 50$ deposit.

* Making your own herbal medicines
* Understanding the energetics of herbal medicine and of the human body
* Nourishing the body, mind, and spirit
