Kitchen Remedies course has landed!
Herbs and spices have been used for both culinary and medicinal purposes for thousands of years. There is now ample evidence to demonstrate that spices and herbal medicines possess a range of therapeutic benefits and actions to reduce the risk of chronic disease. Traditional wisdom is being tested by modern scientific methods, and the results are impressive to say the least!
In this Kitchen Remedy course, I'll show you how to get MORE out of your herb garden and spice rack!
Benefits of homemade Kitchen Remedies;
Nutritional benefits - herbs and spices are brimming with beneficial secondary metabolites (aka phytonutrients). Don't be fooled by their size, these tiny compounds are powerful additions to the diet when we comes to the health benefits!
Microbiota benefits - Our old microbial friends LOVE secondary plant metabolites and those who consume more of these beautifully bright and punchy herbs and spices will have healthier, more diverse microbiomes.
Practical benefits - it's sooooo handy to have a little collection of homemade remedies at your fingertips. Whether it's antiviral syrups over flu season, medicinal honeys for sore throats, homemade tinctures using herbs you've lovingly grown yourself; the practical (and economic) benefits are huge.
Cultural benefits - As Kami McBride says, the practice of making herbal and nutritional remedies in your own home is a powerful way to build "healing home cultures". How beautiful is that? In addition to this, you can use herbs and spices are a especially important to your unique cultural heritage...and perhaps even bring back valuable lost knowledge to pass along to future generations.
It's fun!!
In this course, you'll learn how to make herbal honeys, medicinal vinegars, oxymels, tinctures and syrups. It's an online version of the sell-out community workshops I've held with Liz from Soltree Wholefoods.When I've run courses kitchen medicine courses with Liz, it's clear the benefits extend beyond the knowledge shared in just a few jam-packed hours. After the workshops, people have shared that they've felt a sense of permission, felt inspired, have gained confidence and gained empowerment to embrace this form of self-care.As one woman said "I cannot stop thinking about the possibilities... and cannot wait to start my new wellbeing journey also. It is never too late."
Making medicines in the kitchen is all about using what you have and getting creative with it.
It might be some using up some onion, getting creative with hardy herbs growing in your backyard (rosemary I'm lookin at you!), or making remedies from the spices tucked away in the pantry.The information shared is of course the tip of the iceberg when it comes to herbal, plant and kitchen medicines! My hope is that it demonstrates how easy it is to get started on this journey and create your own healing home cultures.
Bottom Line
Adding healing herbs and medicinal spices to our meals, drinks and homemade remedies is a wonderful, gentle and powerful way to nurture ourselves and those around us. Herbal honeys, medicinal vinegars and homemade syrups also make the most amazing gifts! If you get started now, you’ll have plenty of unique homemade gifts ready for Christmas.
