An Herbalist's Approach to Recovery

Presented by Nora Toomey

Tending to Grief and Trauma with Plant Medicine

Many Herbalists think about the body as “keeping score” or storing emotional and physical memories of grief and trauma that often manifest as addiction or other physical and emotional imbalances. When working with Addiction, supporting the areas of the body that hold onto and store grief, as well as working with the energetics of plant medicine and flower essences that help the body move through trauma, can be a tremendous support piece in recovery. Join Clinical Herbalist, Nora Toomey, to learn about the many plants and flower essences that are indicated for grief and trauma support and those that have specific benefits for the energetics of addiction.
