Herbal First Aid has the advantage of using materials that are widely available such as kitchen spices, weeds, and wild plants.  In this regard, having knowledge of useful remedies that are often close at hand can be empowering to communities, especially those facing economic challenges, a catastrophic natural disaster, or just simply those who wish to live closer to the earth with a focus on resilience and self-sufficiency.

This Full Day Intensive will present strategies, remedies and routines gathered from two decades of working on the front lines in the forest defense and social justice movements, and administering off-grid first aid clinics at large outdoor gatherings. Geared toward the practicing herbalist or medical clinician, this class is also designed as an introduction to home health first aid for the lay person with no previous medical or herbal training.

For laypersons, homesteaders, wilderness trekkers, earthquake preparers, forest or social justice activists.  Learn some basic herbal first aid skills and assessment tools or enhance your existing knowledge. Plant identification, wildcrafting/plant collecting ethics, herbal first aid kit ingredients techniques such as wound poulticing, sprain management and heat exhaustion. Empower your home or community toward greater self-reliance.  Greta has practiced herbal first aid exclusively for nearly 30 years, and has first hand experience treating a wide range of injuries & ailments in children, livestock, and large groups of people.
