As the days grow shorter and colder, many of us may suffer from colds and flus, fatigue, or seasonal depression. In this class we will discuss some of the strategies you can incorporate into your life to boost your vitality during the dark of the year. We will discuss herbs you can use for acute illnesses and herbs you may want to take daily. In support of the Hawthorn Herb Collective's initiatives we will make a delicious herbal tonic, and send you home with some to try for yourself too.

A variety of herbal medicines such as elderberry syrup, warming winter tea blends, tincture blends for colds and flus, seasonal depression, and more will be available for you to taste and stock up on as well. Funds from this class help to support free and sliding scale community herbalism projects. $10 suggested donation includes free tonic.
