In this workshop, we will be turning Japanese Knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) into potent tinctures using the scientific ratio method. You will take home several ounces of fresh knotweed tincture + the know-how to make more tincture for yourself & community. We will also be sharing some of the unique research on Knotweed that our non-profit has explored in the past several years, which will help you develop your understanding of one of the most invasive plants in the eastern US and how we can work with it.

Knotweed is the most recommended herb for treating Lyme disease and is scientifically shown to improve brain health, heart health and is an extremely effective anti-inflammatory. Whenever I travel, Knotweed is always at the top of the list of herbs to bring along because of its extreme versatility at treating so many conditions & improving health in general.

Even though it's one of the most invasive plants in the eastern US, it's here to stay and it's truly a powerhouse on many levels, so let's work with it.

Limited to 20 participants
