Herbal First Aid with Alex Klein

Not so long ago, plants were always the first form of medicine we turned to in any First Aid situation. And for many people around the world, they still are. Even with access to higher medical care, some of our most effective remedies still come straight from the field and forest. This class is designed to introduce you to using plants as medicine through the lens of common First Aid scenarios like burns and wounds, internal infections, injuries, and digestive troubles. We will focus on common herbs you can find at the store, in your backyard, or in the nearest woods. Learning to use herbs as a first response to injury and discomfort is an empowering tool of self-sufficiency!
