Fall Immunity Chai-Making Class

In this class we will explore options for making a tasty medicinal chai using some of our immune-building herbal allies. Fall is a perfect time to strengthen our bodies for the coming cold and flu months, as well as the Spring/Summer allergy season that follows. Fall is a time when we can begin looking to the roots for our medicine, as the flowers fold and the energy of summer moves downward and finds its way to the earth.

We will discuss some of my favorite herbs for strengthening the body as the days get shorter, including: black pepper, burdock, the medicinal mushrooms, astragalus, ginger, turmeric and so many more. At the end of the class everyone will go home with a custom-blended medicinal chai.
