You may suffer from allergies as the sun makes its appearance and grass, weeds and flowers abound. A refreshing hike or camping trip in the great outdoors may result in rashes, bug bites, or sore muscles. Flu viruses and bacteria are getting stronger and more resistant to treatment every year.

These complaints and problems can be healed and soothed with simple herbal remedies that have been used for generations and throughout many cultures. Natural remedies, including herbs, are safe, powerful guardians of our health and well-being.

Upon completion of the seminar you will be able to:

• Identify six natural remedies for acute care
• Describe six preparations of effective home remedies
• List five conditions that can be successfully treated with natural home remedies
• Identify at least five simple natural products you can stock in your home as first aid alternatives
