Soothing & Protecting Herbs

Demulcents & Emollients: 5 Herbs to Know & Use

Whether you are new to herbs or have already completed the Home Herbalist series, this class will broaden your understanding of using herbal medicine safely and effectively. Demulcents soothe, soften, and help heal the mucous membranes. With slippery, mucilaginous properties, these herbs safeguard the issues from irritating substances and allow deeper healing to take place.  Demulcents can help with everything from digestive issues, soothing a cough or sore throat, and even help relax painful spasms in the bladder and urinary system. Emollients are similar herbs that are used externally. In this workshop, we will delve into 5 herbs: Comfrey, Chickweed, Marshmallow, Slippery Elm, and Aloe. We will cover each plant’s active constituents, therapeutic actions, cautions, preparations, dosages, administration along with valuable formulas and recipes. Plus, you will go home with herbs to start making your very own creations.
