Herbal First Aid
Preparedness is Prevention! This weekly class will address a variety of applications of herbal first aid, basic ethics to consider when in a first aid situation, with emphasis on plants that are locally abundant or can be easily cultivated in Maine. No herbal experience required! Come learn and build agency in your ability to care for yourself and your people. Each class will be unique and cover a different focus (think: herbals for protests, shock, wound care, upper respiratory ailments, environmental injuries, etc), and dive deep into two plants, covering their many virtues and best preparations. To stay informed on what topics will be covered each week, check out Quincy's instagram @northern_muse.
