James Hart is a qualified medical herbalist and is holding a series of one day workshops for small groups. The day will include a ‘Herbs of the Hedgerow’ walk, teaching you to identify and use freely available herbs. There will be an introduction to herbal medicine and discussion on the quality and labelling of products available for purchase. You will learn how to make extracts for a fraction of what they cost to buy.
James has over 15 years’ experience in the treatment of humans, horses, dogs and other animals. Working closely with veterinarians and animal health practitioners, trainers and owners he helps identify and prescribe bespoke herbal therapies. James manufactures the Equine Herbals and Canine Series product ranges to offer off-the-shelf solutions to common problems.
By mid-afternoon you’ll also have learnt and made your own herbal extract, infused oil and cream, and there will be plenty of opportunity to garner top tips for treating yourself and your animals.
The day is designed for owners and riders, or anyone with an interest in the health of themselves and their animals. Come along and pick James’ brain and learn from his wealth of knowledge.
The maximum group size is just 20, and the course cost — including a take home information pack and goody bag — is just £50.
