April Class "Herbs and Health in the Kitchen"

We love gathering with others to learn about simple ways to 
live a healthier life.
Our April class was so much fun!
The focus for this class was nourishing and strengthening our
bodies through nutrition via herbs, spices and whole foods.
We had some lively conversations about 'chicken feet'!
You would have had to be there!  :-)

Classroom Setting
We usually meet at the home place.  But, due to renovation in our home, 
we utilized a lovely room in the Old School in Cameron, MO.

Daughter, Leah
I love it when my daughters are able to help me at each class!

Herbal Tasters
Tasting the different herbal preparations is a great way to
introduce the medicinal properties.
When you taste a 'bitter' herbal preparation, you will
always think about your digestive system and the
benefits that 'bitters' role in digestive health.

Nutritive Tea Blend
This blend is made with lovely herbs that support and nourish
our body systems in a gentle way.

Vitamin Tea Blend
This tea blend is also a gentle blend full 
of minerals and vitamins!

Using the Vitamin Tea Blend, you can make
a lovely Vitamin Syrup.

Other ingredients such as honey, black cherry concentrate
and brandy (optional) are added for extra nutrition and
preservation.

Vita-a-min Syrup 
is full of nutritious vitamins and minerals.

Jackie Wallace owner of Rainy Daze Naturals
shared a lovely presentation about soap making.

Cold and Flu Season is upon us. How can we help our body to remain healthier during  this season?  One recipe that our family uses as a preventive measure and as a remedy during illness is Fire Cider. Fire Cider is a lovely, spicy drink made with several ingredients that build the immune system as well as fight against viral and bacterial infections. "Fire Cider" is a term that renowned herbalist Rosemary Gladstar made popular through her many books, classes, herb courses and teachings. The basic recipe includes: Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother) Ginger, Hot Peppers, Onions,  Garlic, Horseradish and Honey.

Elderberry Syrup Preparation I love making herb and food medicinal preparations! It amazes me that herbs, spices and wholefoods can actually tone and strengthen your body to heal itself in many situations. As an herbalist, it is so much fun to share with others  the amazing benefits of incorporating herbs, spices  and whole foods into one's daily health plan. We are not quite through the winter season here in Missouri. Even though the days are getting longer, they can still be dreary and cold!  Getting out and about in the winter  weather is quite challenging at times.  But, there is beauty during the winter as well.  It is a needful time for nature, and it is a needful time for people.

It is a time to physically replenish with warming nutriti

Winter Health

  Winter Garden The gardens are beautiful in every season. I appreciate living in the mid-west where we have all four seasons to enjoy. Winters can be harsh here in Missouri, but they are also beautiful. I like to go with the flow of the seasons with my health and wellness path. Winter is a great time of nourishing rest for our bodies. Winter is the season for eating slow foods and drinking nourishing hot drinks. I am a certified herbalist. But, I do not re-invent the wheel when it comes to herbal education. I love to share other herbalist information. Here are a few links that are excellent reads for the season of winter health and wellness: Wintergreen Botanicals  shares about choosing the right immune support for your needs.
