Making and Using Herbal Tonics for Vibrant Health

The herbs you are growing in your garden are the freshest and most potent herbs for flavor and for health. They have antioxidant flavonoids, carotenoids, anthocyanins, and terpenes that combine to offer a unique flavor profile. They are high in natural antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and beneficial actions. They even provide medicinal actions.  They may be: Antiviral, antimicrobial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, heart and circulatory tonics, protect against radiation, relaxing nervines, antispasmodic, digestive tonics, pain relieving, and more.

This week I am offering a live training to help you learn to use these garden herbs, and even weeds as gentle herbal tonics, so that you can be empowered, save money, improve your health and support your overall well-being.

Tonic herbs are the mildest herbs in the herbalist’s tool box. Herbal tonics are herbs that are gentle enough to use daily, to support general well-being, and to strengthen specific organs and functions in the body. Understanding which herbs are in this category and learning to safely identify them, as well as how to prepare them and use them will empower you right now.  This knowledge will prepare you to thrive.  This is especially important right now, as the governments around the world make their next move, toward global pandemic preparations.

In this training, you’ll learn which common weed is the most nutrient dense and mineral rich plant growing in the garden. You’ll appreciate some of our common weeds more and understand why our ancestors brought their seeds with them when they immigrated to North America.  You’ll also learn which garden herbs you should be growing, even if you only have containers to grow in. We’ll also talk about a few pitfalls that beginning foragers and herbalists make, when harvesting tonic herbs, so that you can avoid these mistakes, and  the serious health consequences that can happen.

I’ve packed this live training full of valuable tips and information to empower you to make the most of this year’s growing season, so that you can look for these herbs now, and harvest them while they are the most beneficial and most potent, throughout your growing season.
