Seeds of good health

The course

The seed contains the potential of the whole plant. Some herbalists believe that the potency of new life in seeds makes them the most valuable plant part to be given as medicine. Seeds may eb chewed whole, ground into powder, decocted for medicinal drinks or applied to the body in ointments. We will examine the benefit of seeds both familiar and unusual, as they have been used over the centuries. We will also try out some live medicine with tasty vitamin and mineral rich freshly sprouted seeds. Fennel, coriander, caraway, psyllium, alfalfa, red clover, lentil, sunflower, sesame and fenugreek are some you will meet on the day
