Medicinal plants - workshops 2020

Learn more about Natural molecules

hands-on workshop

Find out what medicinal plants contain!

The purpose of these workshops is to share and provide participants with useful scientific knowledge on some medicinal plants and the different classes of biomolecules they include.

The aim is also to show the power of some plants and how their constituants work on the body. In addition, we will learn during this workshop simple and easy methods about how to store and prepare some medicinal plants for personal use. An infusion or an aperitif of Swiss medicinal plants will be offered to the participants at the end of the workshop.

Different Modules are available:

Medicinal Plants for Pain Relief
Plants and Relaxation Molecules
Anti-microbial Molecules
Memory & Concentration

A hands-on workshops to learn

Participants can touch and discover some example of medicinal plants, learn how to recognize and how to use them (depending on the selected module).

following sessions are included

plants

Medicinal plants, different varieties and their quality, purity, etc. What are the plants that contain anti-inflammatory, concentration, relaxation molecules, etc.

How It Works

A brief introduction on how biomolecules works on the body depending on the module (anti-inflammatory, relaxation, etc.

molecules

Which kind of molecules, class of molecules, how to extract them, which part of the plants, stabiity, combining actives molecules, etc.

methods

Some preparation methods and mistakes to avoid when using medicinal plants and how to keep molecules integrity, etc.

Next Workshop

Pain relief

Medicinal plants include thousands of molecules. Research has shown molecules that are effective against pain. This module is an introduction to medicinal plants that include natural biomolecules known to be effective for pain relief.

Relaxation

Medicinal plants taken as an infusion have been used since the ancestral time for relaxation and well feeling. This module is an introduction to medicinal plants and biomolecules known to be effective for relaxation and to overcome anxiety.

Module information

Memory & Conc.

Some biomolecules are known by scientists in medicinal plants to boost memory and enhance concentration. This module is an introduction to medicinal plants and biomolecules known to empower memory and concentration.

Anti-microbial

Some medicinal plants contain many aromatic molecules that demonstrate an anti-microbial quality if taken as infusion. This module is an introduction to medicinal plants that contain a class of anti-microbial biomolecules.
