"The Immune System and the Gut Microbiome" with Sacred Infusions Apothecary

"The Immune System and The Gut Microbiome" 

Did you know that specific diets and "natural lifestyle trends" are damaging to the gut microbiome? Even eating too many fermented foods can damage the flora of the biome. Students will sip herbal tea and enjoy an herbal infused snack as the herbalist discusses how intricately connected the gut microbiome and the immune system are. The herbalist will discuss three key nutrients that create a healthy and balanced gut microbiome, and three herbs that have a positive modulating affect on the gut microbiome. Students will go home with key information that was discussed in class, and their choice of 2oz of dried herb to make a tincture at home. ($60)
