Supporting the Immune System: herbs to help strengthen the immune system for cold and flu prevention

Before we know it the cold and flu season will be upon us.  Prevention is the key, and herbal support is paramount in maintaining a healthy and strong immune system throughout the fall and winter months.  In this workshop we will discuss --in simple concepts -- how the immune system functions, and then explore which herbs are best at strengthening the different functions of the immune system, and then we will end by delving into specific herbs to help support you in relieving the symptoms of catching a cold/flu.  Handouts will be provided, including herbal recipes, and samples will be passed around for tasting yummy herbal remedies.

Cost is $30, which will include handouts.
