Though we are often advised to "go with our gut," it is not always so clear what the gut is telling us, what exactly it wants. This class will teach students how to better discern what is going on along our gastrointestinal tracts from the visceral feedback our gut gives us and how herbs might be of service in supporting healthy, painless digestion. We will cover various common digestive ailments, from tummy-aches, stomach bugs, and acid reflux to chronic inflammatory conditions, with special consideration on restoring gut mucosal health and tone with herbs. Good digestion is the foundation of vibrant overall health!

Hi, I'm Alex Klein, intermediary between people and plants. I run a humble herbal medicine practice based in Allston, where I work out of an apothecary almost entirely gathered from wild plants or grown in my garden. My goal as an herbalist is to enable my clients to make healthcare choices on their own terms and educate them on how to use herbs to feel better. I trained as an apprentice under 7Song at the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine, as an herbal First Aid-er at various wilderness gatherings and as a foot care worker at the Asheville Street Feet Clinic in North Carolina. Along the way, I have wildcrafted and botanized up and down the East Coast getting to know our local flora and their many medicinal and edible uses, both current and historic. Since returning home to Boston in 2020, I have been leading classes and workshops on herbal medicine, wild food, invasive species and local ecology, and all sorts of other plant based topics.
