TAKING YOUR HERBS: How to Effectively and Safely use Herbal Remedies Everyday

Join Christina, founder of The Herb Truck, to explore the ‘why’ of getting herbal remedies into your life on a daily basis and how to properly use a few different formats (tincture, tea, powder, capsules, topicals, etc.) effectively and safely, with a general discussion of herbal medicine in the context of current industrial health care and ecological realities.

This is a FREE workshop, but a donation of $10 - $30 per person is suggested depending on your financial situation, or pay-it-forward above the sliding scale to keep workshops accessible for others. All donations support the Herb Truck, a free mobile medicine project serving unhoused and marginalized folks in Chattanooga. 

All skill levels and ages welcome!
