Herbs for Health: Healing Physical and Emotional Wounds
Thursday 16 July 2026
A day about historical attitudes to skincare and healing will lead us to consider factors in how we treat our skin today. We will explore the role of the skin as the body’s largest organ and the ways in which we can support it with both internal and external medication. From diet and hydration to addressing stress, mental and emotional health, recipes will reveal the involvement of circulation, digestion, nerve and immune responses which result in chronic skin disorders. Managing such conditions as eczema and psoriasis in history and today and treating burns and wounds with a recommended herbal first aid kit involve familiar native herbs.
Phototoxic plants and their effects will be contrasted with many soothing and healing plants such as cleansing burdock, figwort, fumitory, dock and goosegrass. Anti-itch herbs, peppermint, liquorice, chickweed and lavender will be included as well as anti-histaminic chamomile. Calendula, Saint John’s wort, cowslip, rose and plantains have a major role.
