In this session we’ll explore the use of herbs to support psycho-emotional health*, especially focusing on considering ‘nervines’; herbs that support rest, relaxation, that soothe, ground, vitalise and nourish. We’ll also be looking at personal constitutions and plant energetics. And we’ll briefly touch on the use of entheogens (psychoactive substances such as magic mushrooms) as medicine.
*psycho-emotional health is one way of giving more holistic language to experiences of stress, distress or variable consciousness that often get called ‘mental health’, which will be explored more in the following sessions.
