- **Event Description**: Spring is in the air!  We are thrilled to announce that Ruth Shelton "The Empirical Herbalist" will be back teaching at Natural Affinity!

I have always loved Ruth's teaching style!  Having personally attended a few of her herbal workshops, she really brings her herbal knowledge and wisdom to share with everyone.  At this event she'll be covering everything there is to know about Floral Herbalism!  

In herbalism, there are many modalities and ways to use and prescribe plants and herbs for conditions and illnesses. In this workshop we will focus on the gorgeous world of flowers- looking at them in 3 different ways-

Collective types of medicine where they shine- 
flower essences, aromatherapy, floral baths and washes, teas, balms, lotions and skin care. 

*Collectively and individually the areas of healing that they treat:

Emotional Issues, 

Mental Issues 

Issues of spirit 

issues of the external- skin, hair, nails

Individually - going through a bouquet of beauties and looking at specifically how and where they help so you can plant or use the one that best fits what you are experiencing. 

Everyone will take home notes and a floral medicine of their own.

**About the Presenter:

Ruth Shelton is a master herbalist from East TN. She grew up in a small Appalachian town that helped shape her appreciation of well everything. She credits her ancestors and her grandmothers in particular as the most important influences in the kitchen, the garden and her own self hood. Every time she teaches about Appalachia it’s done in their honor. 

She’s been practicing herbalism for almost 25 years and operates out of her Apothecary in Powell, TN but travels teaching herbalism all over the Midsouth.
