Plants of the Underworld: Root Medicine
'Diggin Deep is a Plant Medicine Workshop Series located in the backyard oasis of The Random Tea Room and Curiosity Shop in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia.
The first course of the series is: Plants of the Underworld: Root Medicine, led by Alyssa Schimmel.
Fall is the season when the earth's energy descends back down into the shadowy world beneath the surface. Below the topsoil and rabbit holes, lies many roots that are powerful medicinals. This workshop will unearth the plant lore, practical applications, harvest methods, and delicious preparations to be made from plants such as ashwagandha, burdock, black cohosh, yellow dock, echinacea, and many more!
