Woodstock, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Roots, a Cornerstone of Herbal Medicine, are Finally Getting the Study They Deserve
Another one of Susun’s wonderful hands-on herbal medicine days will be offered this year… a whole day of digging roots!!
Roots and rhizomes, tubers, and corms - the underground parts of plants - have been the focus of herbal medicine for hundreds of years. Join Susun to look at the differences between annual, biennial, and perennial roots. Then discuss optimum harvesting times and best ways to prepare and use the bounty of roots such as burdock, dandelion, echinacea, astragalus, yellow dock, ginseng, poke, ramps, bloodroot, and osha.
"Digging Roots" will be held at the Wise Woman Center on Saturday, May 9, 2009, from 10am-5pm. Open to men and women. You'll be outside among the plants with Susun and the goats, learning to identify, harvest, and use local plants for food and medicine. Fee: $75, includes lunch with a wild salad.
