Doctrine of Signatures - CANCELLED

This class has been cancelled, sorry for any inconvenience.

The Doctrine of Signatures is a very ancient recognition of the correspondence between a plant's appearance and the human body. Our ancestors believed that nature had placed clues to each herb's uses in its colors, structures and textures. For example blue or purple flowers are thought to indicate plants that are helpful for our nervous systems, like scullcap. In this class we'll explore these correspondences and include some modern validation of the Doctrine.
