1. INTRODUCTION
Herbalism - Foundation & Essentials
To best understand the direction we need to go as a culture, it’s helpful to reflect on our history. We’ll explore the history of healing, the role of Herbalism presently as well as it’s great future importance. One key question to start with is “what is medicine?” Is it a chemical that removes a symptom, a food that nourishes, or a state of right relationship? We’ll cover this along with many essential herbal remedies such as the familiar Red Clover, the legendary Chaga Mushroom, and the Queen of the Meadow, Achillea Mellefolium (more commonly known as Yarrow) - - and much more!
Chad Cornell discusses how the traditional healthcare system cannot keep up with the demands of our lifestyle and ageing population.
2. Our Common Roots - the film in a four part series
Reconnecting with the intelligence of the plant kingdom, and our global healing traditions might just be the most rewarding investment we can make - not only for ourselves, but also for our planet, and all future generations. The film is a blend of nature, music, narration and on location plant walks covering over 35 healing plants and the holistic philosophy behind their use. Health and vitality can be achieved through integrating the best of both modern and traditional methods. A production by Boreal Night Films.
