15.01.2022 HEALING WOUNDS OF THE PSYCHE WITH PLANTS OF THE EARTH Whilst there are certain plants well known for mind altering actions, almost any plant has the capacity to change our mood or state of mind. Moving beyond the well known St Johns Wort for depression opens up a treasure trove of relief for a variety of emotional states that we may experience at certain times in our lives.... If we look to archetypal myths, and historic herbal texts we find information pointing to the use of herbs for spiritual and emotional wellbeing that is rarely referenced in modern materia medica classes which focus on the physical and biochemical aspects of herbal medicines and disease. In this workshop we will explore several commonly used and easily accessible herbs and how they may be of benefit in mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Herbs discussed will include Golden Rod, Black Cohosh, Mugwort and others. We will also have the opportunity to taste and experience the herbs prepared specifically for such use.

PLEASE DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD A number of important traditional western medicine herbs are being under-utilised by herbalists out of fear or misunderstanding their powerful actions. St.John’s Wort because of concerns of drug interactions. Liquorice because of concerns of hypertension. Thuja & Phytolacca can trigger healing patterns that are often not completely understood. These are just a few western herbs that can have powerful healing results for patients if the practitioner understands how they work and uses them in appropriate doses. In this presentation, we will discuss these herbs, how they work, their medicinal uses, and predictable reactions to specific doses. The aim of this presentation is to resolve any fear or misunderstanding in their clinical use. To register for Root and Branch 2020 please visithttp://rootandbranch.com.au
