Lyme Disease ~ Improving Recovery with Herbalism Workshop at the Old Forge Library
On Wednesday, June 12 at 5 pm, Jessica Maureen Hinsdill will lead an informative workshop Lyme Disease ~ Improving Recovery with Herbalism, at the Old Forge Library, 220 Crosby Blvd. The class will delve into a multi-layered approach to personalizing tick-borne illnesses with an overview of Lyme and coinfections. Jessica will share the many herbs that help alleviate personal symptoms on the path to bring our body back into balance.
Lyme disease is the most common, tick-borne disease in the USA.
While most patients successfully recover with antibiotics, some patients experience persistent symptoms for months to years.
Hinsdill has been her family’s herbalist, healing scrapes and colds with herbal medicine and holistic living. When she herself was diagnosed with Lyme Disease, she took a break from college for Holistic Nutrition to heal, finding herbs to support her path back to wellness. Now studying with Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine, she started Wild Soulstice, LLC to provide herbal education and Lyme Disease support to the community.
Jessica also leads Herbal Study Group Sessions at the library.
Check out the library’s website (oldforgelibrary.org) for the summer and fall sessions which feature local herbs focusing on an individual herb each session. These sessions are an opportunity to create a circle of support, and to reawaken a culture of wellness. They promote rekindling the confidence to nourish ourselves, our families, and our community.
Please call the library at 315 369-6008 or email oldforge@midyork.org to register. Space is limited. A second session of this program will be held on Wednesday, August 21 at 5 pm.
