The Herbal Mother: Traditional Herbs for Pregnancy and Childhood
This gentle and informative class explores the time-honored herbs traditionally used to support mothers and children through pregnancy, birth, and early childhood. Drawing from folk herbalism and ancestral wisdom, we will discuss nourishing plants that have long been trusted for their safety, simplicity, and effectiveness during these tender life stages.
Participants will learn about herbs used to support a healthy pregnancy, ease common discomforts, and nurture postpartum recovery, as well as plants traditionally given to babies and young children for digestion, sleep, immunity, and emotional comfort. Emphasis will be placed on gentle, nourishing remedies, simple preparations, and the intuitive relationship between parent, child, and plant.
This class is ideal for expectant parents, caregivers, herbalists, and anyone interested in the herbal traditions surrounding motherhood and childhood. No prior herbal experience is required. The focus is on respect, care, and the quiet wisdom of plants that have supported families for generations.
