Herbs have been healing allies for Women throughout the ages. The complex and cyclical nature of our bodies is nothing short of awe inspiring. Herbs provide powerful support in the transitions of life, nourishing and helping us find balance through times of change. Health lies in learning how to pay attention and to listen to our bodies and the wisdom of the plants helps us to find our way to balance and deeper understanding. Menopause is a huge topic, so in this short workshop I will share with you some essential and practical things you can do in your life today, and also some of the herbs that I have found indispensable for myself and my clients in this time of change.
•Three herbal tea blends to nourish and support during perimenopause and menopause;
•The five important areas that can make a real difference in menopausal transitions;
•The seven herbs most useful and important in menopause.
“The Wise Woman tradition of herbal medicine encompasses not just a “take this herb for this symptom” approach, but looks at the changes taking place in the larger context of our lives, our hearts and our souls.”
“Midlife for Women is a time of change. These changes happen on many levels – Physical of course, but also Emotional, Spiritual and Societal“.
“There is much wisdom to be garnered in this phase of a Woman’s life and medicinal plants provide us with a powerful way to find connection, health and balance as we move forward”
