Understanding How Herbs Work
Herbs do more than taste good in a cup, they interact with our nervous system, digestion, and stress response in very specific ways. In this fun hands-on workshop, we’ll explore a small group of plants and talk about actions like:
- nervines (herbs that support the nervous system)
- carminatives (herbs that ease digestion)
- gentle adaptogens (herbs that help the body respond to stress)
We will discuss these herbs in clear, down-to-earth language. Through story and sensory play, each person will choose the plants that resonate with them and blend a small loose-leaf tea to take home, along with simple guidelines for using it safely and intentionally.
