Get Your Spot!
Do you know what plants, herbs and tree resins to use when we get a muscle strain, a cut, bug bite, sunburn, for cramps, stomach ache, travel fatigue or a headache? It is empowering and exciting to remember that plants, herbs, and what is often referred to as our “green allies” are actually wonderful allies for home first aid.
Did you know that Yarrow Flower and Leaves can help stop bleeding, and aid in wound relief? Or that Lavender Oil is great after a sunburn. And the resin from a Pine Tree is effective at helping to heal a cut or reduce inflammation.
Many of us grew up reaching for certain products for these types of ailments, but it can be a wonderful revelation to learn about the herbal remedies that can also support us when needed.
You will learn which plants are incredible to have at home for your herbal first aid kit, and how to prepare them for maximum support. During this class you will receive recipes and suggestions for how to make your own Herbal First Aid Kit. During the summer months especially having herbal remedies on hand is such a wonderful gift (especially for those of you who camp, hike, bike or backpack)!

These regular herbal classes with Crystal Marie Higgins at The Center SF will each be fun and interactive ways to learn more about the power of what is called “kitchen herbalism” - wonderful herbs that you can experiment with in the kitchen (and their properties for your health) and in future classes we’ll talk about even more wellness remedies and urban foraging!
NOTE : Herbalism doesn’t have to be put in the place of either or - working with plants can support anything else you are doing to support your system and overall health. All of our ancestors at some point had a deep connection to the land, to the herbs and plants or green realm, to the animals and waters in order to survive. This connection to our roots and deeper belonging was severed, and it is time to reclaim the wisdom we all long for again.
