Next Tuesday, our collective will be hosting local forager and ethnobotanist Rebecca Beyer for the launch of her newest book, "The Complete Folk Herbal." Rebecca, who has been a longtime friend and collaborator of Firestorm, will offer a presentation on how plants can be used for medicine and the unique histories of these herbs!
"The Complete Folk Herbal" is a comprehensive guide to Western folk herbalism designed to help you work with the natural medicinal and healing powers of wild plants. With easy-to-implement practices that are grounded in sustainability, Rebecca demonstrates how to work with plants to soothe everyday pains, including headaches, burns, backaches, menstrual pain, itching, insomnia, fatigue, and dozens of other minor ailments and maladies.
No registration is required for this free event, which can be joined in-person or online via our YouTube channel. Copies of the book can be purchased at https://firestorm.coop/products/23219-the-complete-folk-herbal.html.
