Reading the Terrain ~ A Clinical Immersion Series for the Community Herbalist, Atlanta. Herbs, Body Systems & Field Herbalism

Six days of in-person classes -- body systems, herbs for acute and chronic pain, and herbal first aid. Drawn primarily from Deia's curriculum as guest instructor at Berkeley Herbal Center's Therapeutics and Village Herbalist 2 programs, and field-tested across over two decades of grassroots clinical work. Can be taken as standalone days or the whole series.

The first Class is Herbs and Wellness Strategies for the Digestive System.Sunday June 14.

You'll walk away knowing:

1. Why two people with the same digestive condition often need completely opposite formulas and how to tell the difference

2. How to read the gut as a neuroendocrine organ, not just a digestive tube -- and why that changes everything about which herbs you reach for

3. How to match herbal actions to tissue states: hot, cold, damp, dry, tense, lax -- rather than chasing symptoms

4. How the gut-brain axis shows up in your intakes -- and why nervous system herbs and digestive herbs are often the same herbs

5. The clinical distinctions that matter: IBS vs IBD, GERD vs low stomach acid, dysbiosis vs acute infection -- and the herbal approach for each

This isn't about more herb lists. It's about understanding the terrain that produced the problem -- and knowing exactly what to reach for.
