Known for its ability to purify the blood and support liver health, burdock root has been used for centuries to treat a wide range of ailments. Native American tribes would often use it as a tonic for digestion and skin disorders. Burdock is also rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties, making it a perfect addition to your herbal medicine chest. And this incredible herb grows wild all around us!
Blue lotus, a sacred plant revered by the ancient Egyptians, was considered a symbol of spiritual awakening and was used extensively in religious ceremonies for its calming effects and ability to induce lucid dreaming. This beautiful flower was also used to promote relaxation, relieve anxiety, and deepen meditation. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to prepare a blue lotus tea or tincture that can help ease tension, calm the mind, and enhance your dream experiences, just as the Egyptian priests and healers once did.
At the end of the workshop, you'll have a set of herbal remedies, including syrups, teas, tinctures, and vinegars, all made from plants like burdock and yellow dock, which have been used for centuries to detoxify the body and heal various ailments.
For example, did you know:
Milk thistle, cherished by the Greeks and Romans, has been used for centuries to protect and regenerate the liver? Known as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, milk thistle has been employed by healers to counter the effects of toxins, aid in digestion, and support liver health.

You’ve probably seen this common weed before:
It's name is comfrey and it heals bones and tissues like magic. It's been called "knitbone" for centuries due to its ability to speed up bone and tissue repair. You can make a poultice with comfrey leaves and apply it to a broken bone or sprain to reduce pain and inflammation and accelerate the healing process.
