St. Johns County Council on Aging

This course is designed to show you how herbs can be used to promote health and well-being by looking at specific health concerns and herbal solutions. Each week we will look at an area of health and explore the variety of herbs which can be used to treat or prevent the condition. At the end of each class, participants will have the opportunity to put together a remedy for themselves to promote health and well-being. Participants will learn about herbal actions as well as techniques for creating their own remedies from teas and syrups to tinctures and extracts.
