Kia ora and a warm welcome to future students of Herbal Medicine (Rongoā rākau). Could this be your year to learn a new skill?
Do you wish to provide natural health care without side effects?
Do you wish to become confident in naturally treating your family and friends?
This workshop is for all folk, from all walks of Life, that all have that similar interest, curiosity, knowing, are drawn to natural healthcare, herbal medicine rongoā rākau as their first medicine they reach for to treat and heal only their whanau and family and friends?
This is your invitation to learn from Professional Naturopath and Medical Herbalist, Bridgitt McNabb, at Maintaining Your Health (Whakatikatika Oranga) in Opotiki, Bay of Plenty.
Bridgitt, the Naturopath and Medical Herbalist, speaks of why she wanted to create this Herbal Tincture Making Workshop
Mid-way through 2020, I was denied access to professional herbal tinctures to mix healing herbal remedies for my clients. I was Blessed when the Creator aligned me with an amazing Medical Herbalist who had the patience and integrity to share her wisdom and knowledge with me, teaching me how to create my own professional herbal tinctures.
I’ve created this workshop to pass on my knowledge to teach others how simple it can be to create a herbal tincture rongoā rākau.
To empower students (tauira) to take back the responsibility for their own health and wellbeing and in turn, offer healing to their whanau, family and friends.
I take my responsibility seriously, this is not a quick fix “here use this herb for that ailment”. There is so much more kawa (protocol) and magic entwined with herbal medicine (rongoā rākau).
It was a nice, warm and welcoming environment, I felt very much at home and comfortable. I found the course content was easy to understand and had a good balance of practical and theory. I learnt a lot. Delicious and nutritious food. Yum!
