Spring Skin & Detox: A One-Day Herbal Workshop

The hedgerows are whispering again…
Cleavers clinging. Nettles rising. Dandelion shining like little suns. Yellow dock rooting deep.

Join me for a full day immersed in the wild spring herbs that gently support skin health, lymphatic flow and natural detoxification.

We’ll be:
– Gathering and identifying seasonal plants
– Learning why cleavers, nettle, dandelion & yellow dock are such powerful allies
– Making simple herbal preparations
– Exploring how these plants support the liver, lymph and skin
– Practising safe harvesting and plant connection

This is a hands-on, sensory day — part walk, part teaching, part medicine making.

Perfect for beginners and budding herbalists alike.

Plants We’ll Explore

As spring unfolds, the traditional “blood cleansing” herbs begin to emerge — vibrant, resilient plants that have long been used to support the skin, liver and lymphatic system.

This one-day immersive workshop will explore four key spring allies:

• Cleavers (Galium aparine) – lymphatic support and skin health
• Nettle (Urtica dioica) – mineral-rich nourishment and gentle detoxification
• Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) – liver support and digestive stimulation
• Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus) – alterative support and skin clearing

What You’ll Learn

• Learn how to confidently identify each plant in the wild
• Explore their traditional and modern herbal uses for skin digestion and detoxification
• Understand how they support detoxification pathways (liver, lymph, digestion, elimination)
• Discuss the skin as an organ of elimination
• Harvest ethically and safely (season permitting)
• Prepare simple remedies to take home

This is a practical, outdoor-based learning experience combined with grounded herbal teaching. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how spring herbs support the body — and how to work with them safely at home.
