weekend course

immune health with herbal medicine

location: Isle of Arran, Scotland

Building immunity doesn’t just relate to the foods you do or don’t eat but also how you feel about yourself when eating them! Why not come and learn about super-foods for the Immune system and herbs you can take for common ailments. Practical interaction with the natural world is good for you so you can learn something and feel good about yourself all at the same time!

Learn about herbal immune tonics, blood cleansers and lymphatics that can work with your immune system to offer protection against disease such as infection and cancer. Find out how to meet the challenge of the immune system turning against itself, triggering a range of autoimmune disorders such as allergies and rheumatoid arthritis; the use of herbal anti-inflammatories; how to manage inflammation in general and how to support the body’s own defence mechanism dealing with fever via the use of tried and tested natural remedies.

Explore your intuitive connection to Aromatherapy and essential oils, and join us in learning about the practical application to acute and chronic conditions of these incredible anti-microbial agents and how they can form the basis of your Herbal First Aid kit. Make your own herbal preparations to complete this kit to take it and the knowledge of how to use it home for basic self help for family and friends.
