Living Medicine’s award-winning course is for anyone interested in healing plants and foods, health, cooking or gardening. Taught by BSc-qualified medical herbalist Alice Nugent of Hippopot Herbs, Marlow, we taste and identify herbs in Alice’s beautiful garden, explain how plants work in our bodies and how to use them. Learn practical remedy making from teas, creams and tinctures to cooking healthy dishes and assess your own health and diet. It’s about the pleasure of sharing knowledge, growing, eating and transforming a good or herb into a simple remedy!
This is a 5 part practical course and, although sessions can be booked seperately, we recommend that you always start with Self Care 1: Basics. Please use the links below to find out more and book your place:
