Michael Friedman will explore the use of herbs to treat such common issues as thyroid deficiency and adrenal burnout as well as more serious disorders: autism, MS, ALS, and Parkinson’s disease. There will be a discussion of case studies to illuminate herbal strategies.
Rocio Alarcon brings forty years experience with ethnic groups in the Ecuadorian rainforest to combine sacred ceremony with herbal energetics and herb tastings. Students will improve their clinical skills through both cognitive and intuitive approaches. This is a rare opportunity to learn from two master herbalists.
The class will combine traditional herbal ceremony along with organoleptic tasting and energetic experiences of herbs.
