Discover the Lost Secrets of Medicinal and Healing Herbs By Kevin Gianni - Health Advocate, Author I think about this often... Will there be a time when our culture has completely forgotten that some of the best and most nutritious foods come from our woods, backyards and fields? In my youth, I never would have thought you could make a salad out of things that grew in your lawn (and a good one at that!). It was only until I started changing my diet and meeting herbal foragers, that I re-discovered much of the plant knowledge that our ancestors used and relied upon for survival. At first I was in awe of the things that I learned... then I was upset. My anger came from the very thought that I had never been introduced to these foods as a child, likely because the information had long since been lost in my family lineage. Since this realization, I've made it a point to research and explore native and wild edibles wherever I go. You can ask Annmarie, I'm always picking something and showing it to anyone who's with us, or worse making them try what I've found! Losing this precious knowledge to the modern industrial food complex would be a tragedy. We've already lost much of the diversity, vibrancy and nutrition in the few species that are eaten in our diets on a regular basis (yes, even if you eat a whole food diet that is all organic!). What wild foods bring to us is a delivery system for potent nutrition and subtle medicine. We as humans have known this since the beginning of time. It's only now that we're starting to forget. Here is just a sample of the incredible encyclopedia of information that could be lost forever... Sleeplessness and Insomnia: These herbs have long been used in sleeping potions and are available as tea, tincture tabs or caps. Chamomile is a nerve restorative that calms anxiety and stress. Hops contain lupulin-a strong, safe, reliable sedative. Passionflower relaxes the mind and slows the breakdown of serotonin and norepinephrine, allowing one to attain a more peaceful state of consciousness. For Boosting Energy: Ashwaghanda root benefits lethargy and fatigue, facilitates learning and memory and is an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body adapt to both physical and emotional stress. Dandelion root stimulates bile production, thus improving liver function, which when sluggish, can contribute to fatigue. Dandelion root improves digestion and increases vitality. For Boosting Sexual Performance and Libido: Damiana was used by the Aztec Indians as an aphrodisiac and a cure for impotence. It allows nerve messages to spread out throughout the nervous system, thereby making people more sensitive. Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) – Has long been used as a tonic for strengthening the adrenal glands and increasing energy. It also helps provide the body with the raw materials necessary to produce its own hormones. Muira Puama, also known as “potency wood,” is sold in Brazilian pharmacies as an aphrodisiac and nerve stimulant. Sarsaparilla, another herb, rich in phytosterols, thus nourishing to one’s hormones. This tea is most pleasurable consumed with a dash of honey. These are just some of the herbs I've become familiar with by learning from teachers who have kept this knowledge sacred. It's time to pass along this information to you, so you can learn some of the secrets the herbs can teach us... This summer in Oregon, we took a nature walk with Brigitte Mars... Brigitte has been learning and teaching herbalism for over 30 years. She's lived off the land in a tee-pee, learned from herbal masters all over the world and has been a fixture in the natural health community in Boulder, CO for as many years as she's been there. She's the author of more than 12 books on natural health and living. One of our friends, who knew Brigitte years back, firmly believes that she is quite possibly one of the main reasons Boulder ranks so high in terms of quality of life. Chances are if you've lived there, you've been to Brigitte for some advice on plants, herbs or natural medicines. But back to the walk... As we walked through the woods, Brigitte explained dozens of plants that most of us would have walked past or stepped on without a second look. She made the woods come alive. I filmed the walk and shared it with many of you on the Renegade Health Show, but many of you kept asking for more. So I talked to Brigitte recently and asked if she would put together a course for Renegade Health that would highlight some of the most magical herbs in the natural world. She agreed to do a 3-night, online course to share some of her knowledge. Here are some of the things that we'll discuss on our "virtual wild walk"...
Here are some of the details... The course is 3 nights of education spread out over the period of 3 weeks. All you need is a web connection or a telephone to attend. The dates are November 23rd, 30th, and December 3rd at 9:00 PM EST / 6:00 PM PST. You don't have to be available to be part of the course either. You will have full access to the recordings and transcripts of the program. You can ask your questions and be assured that we'll get to them over the course of the program. If you want to re-discover what nature has provided to us, then this the the program for you. Normally, Brigitte does this type of program with one-on-one consultations. This costs hundreds of dollars. But because this is an online course that requires only a computer and an internet connection, we're able to make this program very affordable. For the total live course, you'll only pay a one-time enrollment of $97. This is for 3 nights of focused talk on herbal remedies for addiction, energy, sexual health and more. You'll be able to learn as well as ask YOUR specific questions about aging gracefully. It's almost like being at a lecture, except you can attend in the comfort of your own home!
This Product carries a 100% money back guarantee. If at any time you're unsatisfied with the program, I will refund your money back *IN FULL*, no questions asked. I stand by the products that I create and promote, and this is no exception. I ask you give it a shot, with no risk, and see for yourself. Spaces are limited! In order to make sure that you're a part of the program, we need you to enroll now. We can only accept a certain number of people due to the web technology that we'll be using.
