Practical master class with experienced Medical Herbalist, Bee McGovern
Develop a deeper understanding of key herbs, which you can grow, that support the nervous system and stress response. Learn how to combine these herbs to make effective remedies, in the form of teas and tinctures and create your own bespoke tincture blend to take away with you.
This Master Class will include a Herbetum tour, focusing specifically on herbs which can support us through stress and anxiety. You will get to meet the plants, see how they grow and consider what their therapeutic indications and actions are. You will learn how to blend different herbs together to make a remedy that is specific for you or a family member’s needs. We will discuss dosages, along with any possible contra-indications and when it’s most appropriate to seek professional advice.
During the afternoon you will have the opportunity to make your own bespoke tincture, from the knowledge you will have gained in the morning session. You will get to write your own formulation and harvest the herbs you require to create your bespoke tincture blend. This hands-on workshop will give you the practical skills to make tinctures and includes Bee’s top tincture making tips.
Handouts will be provided covering approximately 15 herbs, which provide space for personalisation. These will provide you with a great reference tool and memory jogger, enabling you to make more of your own herbal tinctures.
