When one is feeling an imbalance in this area, it is also\u003cbr\u003ehelpful to look at the nervous system to address gut-brain connections. In this class, we’ll also assess tissue states in the gut such as a hot+dry or a cold+stagnant condition. We’ll learn how to keep the digestive fire strong, and we’ll blend an herbal tea unique to your constitution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImmune System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe immune system is the main system we notice to go out of balance with the\u003cbr\u003ecooling weather.

Most of us deal with some level of stress or anxiety on a daily basis. Stress can be held in different parts of the body including the head, jaw, neck, shoulders, heart, stomach or pelvis. You may feel it during work hours, social activities or when you can’t sleep at night. Together we'll make a herbal tincture that you can take wherever you need it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReproductive System \u0026amp; Endocrine System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSlightly more complex body systems, you’ll have learned a foundation from classes 1-3 (gut, immune and nervous system health), which all influence the reproductive and endocrine systems. Review the often-overlooked tissue states of hormonal and reproductive imbalances. Assess whether you lean more hot or cold, dry or moist and how these tissue states manifest in the reproductive and endocrine systems. Go home with an herbal tea blend ready to support you on the worst of days!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBio:\u003c\/strong\u003e As both an herbalist and a landscape-permaculture designer, Natalie is always observing the conditions of both people and plants. She believes humans are a microcosm of the macrocosm— what unfolds on the earth around us is reflected within our own bodies through the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether. Some of us tend toward cold+damp or cold+dry constitutions, while others run hot+damp or hot+dry. Based on these specific “human ecosystems” Natalie recommends plants that balance these qualities within ourselves. She teaches people how to assess their own inner landscapes and connect with plant allies that support their unique constitution. While this concept may feel new in modern times, it’s rooted in ancient healing systems found across Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western Vitalist Tradition, and beyond. By tapping into this earthy ancient wisdom, Natalie finds that clients can live in deeper balance and greater harmony with both themselves and the natural world. Through Alma Landscape and Permaculture Design, Natalie also helps people co-create the edible, medicinal, and healing gardens of their dreams. https:\/\/www.almapermaculture.com\/\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Event","offers":[{"title":"Thursday October 29th 2026 \/ 19:00","offer_id":67163162574923,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thursday November 5th 2026 \/ 19:00","offer_id":67163162607691,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thursday November 12th 2026 \/ 19:00","offer_id":67163162640459,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Thursday November 19th 2026 \/ 19:00","offer_id":67163162673227,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/1467\/files\/IMG_3180.jpg?v=1790696888","url":"https:\/\/animamundiherbals.com\/products\/traditional-herbalism-4-part-series","provider":"Anima Mundi Herbals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
