What is a materia medica? A Materia Medica contains reference pages about different plant's medicinal and historical uses, herbal actions, energetics, folklore, chemistry, a botanical description and more! It is a great tool to get to know a single plant.
Participants will choose one herb to research in depth using herb books from Gabby's personal library, and will fill out a worksheet to create a reference page for their own materia medica. Participants will also have the opportunity to taste tea with some of the herbs discussed.
At the end of the workshop, participants will share what they've found, and will receive photocopies of other participants worksheets, giving them a good start on their own personal Materia Medica, and a framework for getting to know other medicinal plants.
