Introduction to Marine Herbalism: Seaweeds for Health and Healing (Zoom Class, 1.5.25, 5pm PDT)
Seaweeds have traditionally been important plants for food and healing among coastal people throughout the world and are still critical superfoods for the times in which we live today. With profound and unique healing abilities and superlative nutrient diversity and density, seaweeds may be critical in sustaining human health and supporting detoxification at a time when we are most vulnerable to nutrient deficiencies and toxicity in our foodstream and environment. Whether a foodie, herb student, clinician, or phycophile (seaweed lover) this class (and Seaweed Meet and Greet) will support students in finding their own unique ways of engaging with these magical macroalgae in their everyday lives.
Introduction to Marine Herbalism provides an overview of seaweeds and their medicinal and nutritional applications. It is best paired with the Seaweed Meet and Greet class, which focuses on individual seaweeds and their unique uses in the home or herbal kitchen. Introduction to Marine Herbalism will provide an overview of such topics as:
types of seaweeds
seaweed ecosystems
nutrients and medicinal phytochemicals
healing properties for general home use or clinical practice
iodine and thyroid health
mucopolysaccharides: seaweeds’ unique, medicinal gels
external uses of seaweeds
pollution issues
For more in depth coverage of these topics and uses of specific seaweeds the full Marine Herbalism class recording is recommended.
Simply working with seaweeds as food or understanding how they live and grow in our coastal environments can open a doorway for learning and connection: engaging with and starting to understand seaweeds in the context of their uses as food and medicine can teach us a lot about our origins and the primal resources that we still rely on to thrive.
Class will be held virtually via Zoom on Sunday, January 5, 2025, 5:00-6:15 PM PDT. Recording and slides from this class will be made available to students as well.
Early Bird Discount Registration through December 15, 2024.
