SUMMARY:Herbal Adaptogens Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we will discuss what adaptogens are and how they work.  We will also cover some of the history\, folklore\, medicinal and cultural uses of Tulsi (Holy Basil)\, and each attendee will make their own Tulsi tincture.  Tulsi is sacred herb with a rich history rooted in Ayurvedic tradition. Revered for its adaptogenic properties\, Tulsi helps the body adapt to stress and promotes balance. Its aromatic leaves\, infused with a peppery\, clove-like flavor\, make it a tasty addition to teas and culinary creations. In Ayurvedic medicine\, Tulsi is considered a tonic for the mind\, body\, and spirit. In western herbalism\, it is used for its diverse therapeutic benefits\, ranging from immune support to anti-inflammatory effects. Tulsi also serves as a symbol of connection to nature and holistic well-being. At I-Tal Acres we cultivate many different varieties of Tulsi\, including Rama\, Krishna\, Vana\, Kapoor\, and Amrita. \nThe workshop would entail: \n-Small Plant ID Walk and discussion in EcoVillage Learning Garden (weather permitting) \n-Rules on Harvesting Sustainably and at peak potency \n-Information session on herbal adaptogens\, folk uses and history\, especially Tulsi \n-Tincture making class (Tinctures defined\, why tinctures\, how to make your own)\n-Hands on – each attendee makes a tincture to bring home (will need to macerate and be pressed at home)- plant material for tincture making will be supplied by I-TAL Acres.

SUMMARY:Medicinal Power of Culinary Herbs & Thieves Tincture Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:When we think of medicinal herbs\, how many think to include culinary herbs among the list of powerful plant allies?  Food as medicine\, medicine as food.  We know culinary herbs improve the taste of our foods\, but did you know they contain many health benefits and medicinal uses?  The ancient thieves during the time of the plague knew this\, and their use of culinary herbs as immune booster became legendary.  Let us harvest the power of summer as an immune booster for later.  We will explore the medicinal folk uses and history of some of our main culinary herbs\, and everyone will get to make their own ‘Thieves’ tincture.\nThe workshop would entail: \n-Small Plant ID Walk and discussion in EcoVillage Learning Garden (weather permitting) \n-Rules on Harvesting Sustainably and at peak potency \n-Information session on folklore\, history\, and medicinal uses of main culinary herbs. \n-Tincture making class (Tinctures defined\, why tinctures\, how to make your own)\n-Hands on – each attendee makes a tincture to bring home (will need to macerate and be pressed at home)- plant material for tincture making will be supplied by I-TAL Acres.

SUMMARY:Liberty Tea- Kidney & Urinary Tract Class & Goldenrod Tincture Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This class will focus on the kidneys\, urinary tract\, the organs involved\, and how to use herbs to soothe\, tonify\, and clear-up infections.  Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) are any bacterial infections of the bladder\, urethra\, or kidneys\, and are common in men\, women\, and children.  They are also one of the number one reasons antibiotics are prescribed.  One of the most plentiful\, beautiful\, yellow\, late summer herbs by roadsides and fields is the amazing Goldenrod.  We will take an in-depth look at the history\, folklore\, and medicinal uses of Goldenrod; and everyone will get to make a Goldenrod tincture to take home. \n(Among other uses – Goldenrod is a soothing tonic for the entire genito-urinary tract; useful as diuretic and antiseptic for treating bladder/kidney infections.)\nFYI – Goldenrod has a reputation for causing hay fever\, but allergies are rarely caused by insect-pollinated plants\, as their pollen is too big and heavy to get into your respiratory system. More inconspicuous wind-pollinated plants tend to be the problem. Ragweed has inconspicuous green flowers that bloom right about the time goldenrod does and it spreads its pollen on the wind so you can inhale it and sneeze. \nThe workshop would entail: \n-Small Plant ID Walk and discussion in EcoVillage Learning Garden (weather permitting) \n-Rules on Harvesting Sustainably and at peak potency \n-Information session on Kidney/Urinary Tract & the folklore\, history\, and medicinal uses of Goldenrod. \n-Tincture making class (Tinctures defined\, why tinctures\, how to make your own)\n-Hands on – each attendee makes a tincture to bring home (will need to macerate and be pressed at home)- plant material for tincture making will be supplied by I-TAL Acres.
