Featuring 18 internationally acclaimed herbal teachers in the epic setting of the Ghost Ranch Retreat Center outside of Santa Fe, NM, and with the focus on traditional western herbalism, this conference will surely be a strong force in the herbal world.

New Date added for "No Fear Flu Workshop"
Sunday November 8th
10-3pm pm
( BSHS Ashfield MA)
$45
We will explore nourishing herbs, medicinal foods and tonic herbs
that strengthen our terrain, build our immunity, while supporting
optimum wellness. We become familiar with common anti bacterial and
anti viral herbs, how to prepare them and how to use them in ways that
are safe and health building for the entire family. We will look at
ways to prevent getting the flu by building up the immune system and
also become familiar with treatments for the flu.
Herbal medicine is one of the oldest forms of healing and has been
practised continuously from the earliest times. Over 80% of the worlds
population still uses herbs as their primary means of health-care.
There is nothing quite as empowering as knowing how to make your own
medicines. Herbs are magical but preparing and using them doesn't have
to be mystical.We will learn how to make simple medicines from common
herbs and foods.
Please bring a snack to share
Space is limited, so please register by responding as soon as
possible to blazingstarclinic@gmail.com
