herbs for the heart

After huddling around heaters and fires to keep warm here in NE Ohio, it’s refreshing to have an excuse for reversing the effects of shivering and curling up in warm cozy chairs. When the weather is cold and the nights are long, many of us might find ourselves slumping while feeling ready to explode with cabin fever. So the excuse is Valentine’s Day. A day of hearts sugar and flowers. I would offer an alternative that focuses on opening the heart using herbs. On February 7, join me at “Herbs for the Heart.” I will share recipes (some of my own and some from other herbalists) and demonstrate how to make heart-centered herbal remedies. When remedies are prepared with compassion and empathy, it just might be possible that the healing runs deeper.
