Herbal Liniments Workshop
Liniments are an often-overlooked and frequently misunderstood part of herbal history. As a liquid extract, they effectively penetrate the skin and work their way deep into the muscles and connective tissues to release pain, ease cramping, move blood, resolve stiffness, and encourage healthier movement. Liniments are an essential part of Traditional Chinese Herbalism where they form the core of hit medicine which supports those doing martial arts training… but liniments have a place in every home and every herbal medicine cabinet!
In this workshop I’ll show you the benefits of liniments, teach you how to craft them, and introduce you to the herbs you need to know for effective formulas.
Learn about the history and applications of liniments and how they can support us as we navigate pain, musculoskeletal soreness, blood stagnation, limited range of motion, and everyday aches.
Meet the herbs that work exceptionally as a topical remedy to help with pain and stiffness and how they can best be brought into herbal liniment preparations.
Learn how to craft powerful herbal liniments to support specific needs and to keep on hand when the inevitable muscle aches pop up.
Instant access. Watch anytime you like, as many times as you want!
Hit Medicine
Herbal liniments are an often unsung aspect of herbal medicine that I think deserve a lot more celebration! This topical format allows us to quickly and easily apply the healing benefits of herbs wherever we need them most for common issues such as:
sore, achy muscles
inflammation
limited range of motion and stagnation
bruising
nerve pain
This engaging workshop takes the wisdom of Chinese hit medicine which is a crucial part of Taoist herbalism and King Fu practice and combines it with approachable western herbs that have an affinity for helping with musculoskeletal issues. Class includes an overview of many important herbs plus simple crafting techniques for making your own herbal liniments.
Herbal Liniments Workshop
“Josh uses his vast knowledge of eastern and western herbalism ,mythology and history, as well as plant lore and animistic /pagan spiritual practices to create an accessible array of inspiring teachings as The Green Arte. He has provided what I believe to be missing link in current medicine ( and often even in alternative medicine) , by assisting a deep dialogue with herbal plants bridging to the spiritual dimension. I have long thought that spiritual teachers/ leaders should honor all beings in our earth to find a common language between us all and that is what Josh Williams offers us. His teachings are filled with authenticity, humility, humor and applied knowledge . From relaxing visualizations to information packed herbalist studies, he has something for all levels and all walks of life. I highly recommend The Green Arte with Josh Williams!”
