Holistic Science Methodology in the Understanding of Herbal Medicine
Taste as a Guide to Clinical UsesUse the sophisticated laboratory that is your sense of taste to determine the medicinal action of plants. Using all our senses, learn how to identify a herb's main qualities of heating, cooling, moistening, drying, antiseptic, moving, relaxing etc and from that knowledge apply what condition type and in which constitutional type of person such a medicine would be best indicated for. We inherently already know the answers, the aim of this workshop is to provide you with tools to make them conscious and pharmacy materials to make and take home preparations.
