Join Dan de Lion of Return to Nature (www.returntonature.us) for a workshop covering the various aspects to know about Lyme and tick borne issues. The class will range from practicing body awareness while out in the field, food and herbal prevention of Lyme and co-infections, herbal protocols for addressing the symptoms and the bodily systems effected, and the deeper ecological relevance to what ticks and Lyme disease bring to the necessary awareness of our communities.

If you have gone outside in the Northeast, ticks have probably become part of your life. This workshop will help reveal myths about diagnosis and bites, as well as explore remedies which are relevant to certain functions of the organ system related to working with Lyme.

This class was recorded at the Indiana Herbal Center in Bloomington, IN.

Suchil and Sam Coffman discuss a couple of concepts around FDA GMP regulations as well as the Apothecarist course at Herbal Medics University (aka The Human Path).

This episode is brought to you by Herbal Medics University.

Herbal Medics University is a branch of The Human Path. The Human Path is a survival school that is focused around the survival of our human species. Their classes are sustainability and earth-centric, yet also very practical and realistic. They are structured similar to a university, in that they have core paths as well as electives (aka "peripheral classes"). All of their courses are focused on self-sustainability, and the subjects that fit into that focus span a very wide range as well as amazing depth in each subject.
