In this class our topic is Allergies. There are three waves of our allergy season here in New England-Spring, Summer and late Summer. We will learn the plants from each part of the season that are known to cause allergies and follow with a discussion of the herbs that are traditionally used for various allergic reactions or systemic allergy symptoms, as well as guidelines for healthy living and prevention including Spring tonic herbs. We will also discuss skin-related allergies and contact dermatitis and related herbal therapies.
