Nature and Wellness: Foraging and Crafting Natural Immune Remedies
Description
Step into the world of traditional herbal wisdom and discover how winter landscapes offer powerful natural medicine for strengthening immunity during the coldest months. You'll craft your own batch of fire cider, a potent vinegar-based tonic renowned for its immune-boosting properties, incorporating wild edibles foraged directly from the BNC trails. As you explore the winter landscape, you'll learn to identify medicinal plants that thrive in the cold and understand their therapeutic applications for supporting your body's natural defenses.
You'll leave with your own handcrafted fire cider, the ability to identify and harvest winter medicinal plants, and a deeper knowledge of natural remedies that have sustained communities for generations.
