Central Nervous System - Beginner
Foundational - Holistic - Time-Honored
Discover the Fundamentals of the Central Nervous System.
In Traditional Western Herbalism as well as intuitively, we know that the 'nerves' or the nervous system affects most if not all functions of our body.
Since the word 'stress' entered into our vocabulary our understanding of what the nervous system is and how it affects our health has expanded greatly.
The CNS, comprising the brain and spinal cord, plays a pivotal role in regulating bodily functions, sensory perception, and cognitive processes.
Conditions related to this system can affect heart-rate, the quality of digestion, fertility, and physical sensation and movement and our mental condition, to name a few.
In this class we cover what is the CNS, common conditions affected by the CNS and the tried and true remedies Matthew and Phyllis have successfully used over the years.
The Beginner and Intermediate classes cover: skullcap, motherwort, peppermint, spearmint, pennyroyal, lemon balm, catnip, chamomile, lavender, rosemary, sage, valerian, vervain, black horehound, monarda fistulosa, gotu kola, and many others.
