Traditional Western Herbal Medicine, The Elements & Astrology Of Herbs

This 2 day course is for herbal medicine practitioners/ students wishing to gain a deeper insight into working with the herbs alongside the 4 elements, the temperments and astrology. The weekend includes a special guided plant meditation with Elisabeth around our outdoor fire at the woodland and herb garden. 

The Traditional paradigm for Herbal Medicine in Europe follows the Hippocratic format of the Four Elements, Eart, Air, Fire and Water. These elements are associated with the seven planets of Western Astrology, as are local, indigenous herbs.

In this weekend course we will o discuss how to use astrology, the four temperments and the herbs to understand disease states, to treat them and prevent them. We will focus on how by understanding the temperments and the planst associated with them we can, as herbal practitioners, chose our remedies with precision for our clients.

The event is set in the Ivywood herb garden and apothecary. On the Saturday evening after meal Elisabeth will take us on a guided meditation on the deeper nature of one plant. This immersive experience will take place around our outdoor fire by the woodland.
