Speaker: Brandon Ruiz, Herbalist
Caribbean Herbalism is based in many cultural backgrounds and traditions. For generations these practices have been preserved, utilizing Indigenous, African, European, Indian and so many other herbal systems to understand healing, energetics and medicine making. Our traditional medicine making practices utilize the senses to craft potent remedies with water, alcohol, and vinegars which are applied internally and externally. In this workshop, we will talk about traditional methods of preparing Caribbean plant medicines, take an in-depth look at popular plants that have been used for healing for hundreds of years, and understand the tradition and science behind these preparations.
