2010: Courses and Workshops with Lisa Ganora
June 8 - 11: Herbal Constituents: Understanding the Actions of Medicinal Plants, Asheville, NC (16 hours). This course is sponsored by AB Tech and so is only $50 - and you get a copy of Herbal Constituents included.
Herbs
contain a complex array of phytochemicals that contribute to their
characteristic activities and 'personalities.' This class will help
herbalists, holistic health care practitioners, pharmacists, students,
and anyone interested in the science of plant medicine to better
understand how the constituents of commonly used botanical medicines
influence human health and physiology. Lisa Ganora, who teaches
phytochemistry at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, uses
her twenty-five years of experience in traditional herbalism as the
matrix for this uniquely holistic approach. With emphasis on direct
experience of the plants through sensory evaluation ('organoleptics'),
we will cover the most important constituents found in healing foods
and well-researched Western herbs including St. John's Wort, Nettles,
Yellow Dock, Hawthorn, Dandelion, Ginseng, Black Cohosh, etc. We'll
also cover synergy (how phytochemicals work together), variability,
solubility and extraction, toxicology, and herb / drug interactions.
You don't need an extensive background in chemistry to benefit from
this material - anyone with an interest in learning more about the
inner mysteries of botanicals is welcome to attend! Class will be held from 5:30 to 9:30 pm each night. Registration
fee ($50) includes class and book Herbal Constituents: A Holistic Approach for Students and Practitioners of
Botanical Medicine. This 16-hour course is scheduled over four days:
Tuesday, June 8 - Friday, June 11; 5:30 - 9:30 pm.
