IFPA Conference
9th & 10th June 2018, Edinurgh
Return to the Source & Expand your Practice – talk by Julie Bruton-Seal
You know your essential oils, but do you know the plants behind them? Go beyond the bottle, back past all the people who made the medicine, to the living being at the source – the plant whose consciousness and nature have been distilled into this precious essence. Knowing the plants as beings is like the difference between reading someone's job description, and meeting them in person. Expand your practice by using other preparations of the plant – hydrosols, infused oils and even massaging with fresh herbs. It is easiest to meet the plants that grow around you, so we will be looking at some native aromatics including yarrow, ground ivy, sweet cicely, nettle and hogweed.
Herbwalk with Julie and Matthew
The beautiful Edinburgh Botanic Gardens provides a wealth of plants to enjoy, but we will be focusing on plants that have medicinal uses. We will be looking at the weeds as well as carefully nurtured specimens from around the world, and discussing their uses in aromatherapy and herbal medicine.
