A strong and balanced immune system is at the heart of being healthy. From winter colds and coughs to simple gut and skin infections, we’ll focus on how to boost our immune system against viruses, microbes and fungi. Unavoidably, we’ll visit some root causes of immunity dysregulation and expressions of imbalance, and we’ll identify plants, plant families and herbal formulations that safeguard our immune system. Depending on time, our herbal medicine making will explore herbal teas and decoctions for winter colds, an immune-boosting toning wine and an antimicrobial skin and mouth spray.

Nutritional advice and cooking: Using fresh and dry organic ingredients and herbs packed with phytonutrients and of high medicinal value, we’ll practice on preparing food that boosts and safeguards our immunity.
