Dr. Eugene Zampieron, ND, RH[AHG} [Dr.Z Naturally ], and the Glebe House Museum and Gertrude Jekyll Garden are pleased to offer a webinar and hands-on workshop entitled:
Herbal Medicines of Colonial America
The event will be presented in two parts:
Part one: Thursday, September 25th at 6:00 pm, Dr. Z's remote Zoom presentation will cover the history of colonial medicine, including the folklore, chemistry, and medicinal applications of herbs common during that era. He will also instruct on designing herbal formulas and understanding their potencies.
Part two: Saturday, September 27th, at 11:00 am. Join us for a journey into colonial herbalism. The event begins with a brief garden tour and a discussion of medicinal herbs. Following this, participate in a hands-on workshop where you'll create classic colonial remedies. We'll use herbs harvested from our garden, as well as wildcrafted and purchased, to make a traditional cough medicine, an immune tonic with apple cider vinegar, and a healing skin salve, all in the spirit of colonial practices.
All participants will leave the workshop with their completed projects, ready for personal use.
Program fee: $65 per person (includes both sessions, use of equipment, and supplies to make a tonic and a salve)
Space is limited and pre-registration is required.
