what those who have lived the experience say

Taking Botanical Blessings has been extremely helpful and more fun than any course to date. The knowledge shared gives me the confidence to practice a wide variety of remedies and treatments, both preventative and for those I would have rushed to the hospital sooner. I learned to make my own infusions, decoctions, ointments, botanical oils, poultices, tinctures, etc. I was even able to convince my grandmother to stop using her petroleum-based body ache cream, replacing it with an ointment I made for her (based on local plants, beeswax, and lots of love). The medicine of the earth is all around us, it's free, and it allows us as a people access to wholesome health. The plants, songs, recipes, and teachings I learned in this course will be my allies forever!
Souls and Aromas is pure delight. Living essences of lavender, hops, cinnamon, and marjoram... that improve everything. We learned to make aromatherapy pillows, purifying plant baths, and more. Creamy lotions, baths of flowers, leaves, roots, and scented pillows. Blessings of renewal and freshness. Music for the nose, healing for the soul!
The forest breathes! Breath that whispered in the ears of our grandparents, the healing powers of the plants that surround us. Breath that lives on, as we revive the remedies that—century after century—have kept us alive, healthy, and able to heal. Ancestral breath shared by María Benedetti!
