Catalog description

This course explores plant-based healing practices in communities across the globe. Doing so will require comparative considerations of beliefs about the body, its relationship to the natural world, and the processes of health, disease, and healing. Fully appreciating the complexity of herbalism requires interacting with the plants and the processes of preparing them for medicinal use. We will utilize the Marcus Family Global Kitchen to experience the making of tinctures, oils, salves, poultices, and infusions. This course is offered Fall and Spring semester. Half-semester deadlines apply. Prerequisites: None. LEWIS.
