Resilience Building Herbal Medicine Kit

Resilience is the ability for an individual to adapt to any situation drawing on social skills, problem solving skills, innate wisdom and spiritual practices utilizing training and education. We all have the mental, emotional and physical capacity to enact strategies during stressful situations and tragedies. Herbs can help build stamina, vitality and resilience as we nourish ourselves so that we can show up for others. Building a Resilience Herbal Kit as a resource to support the mind, body and spirit before crises arise can empower us to help others in times of need.

We will explore the therapeutic applications of nourishing adaptogenic herbs that help the body manage stress, essential wound-healing botanicals for physical trauma, gentle yet effective nervines for emotional support and mental well-being, and powerful herbal allies specifically chosen for their trauma-healing properties. Demonstrations of medicine making techniques will incorporate these plant remedies into preparations that can become the base of the Resilience Herbal Aid Kit. Recipes and Samples will be provided.

This session combines practical herbal medicine making with preparedness philosophy, empowering each of us to create our own customized Resilience Herbal Aid Kit that can be called upon during the inevitable storms of life.
