Hello and happy sunny winter beginnings to you!
My herbal practice is ready to welcome winter and you! Below please find some announcements about my consulting practice and upcoming classes.


About my Botanical Apothecary
Botanical medicine involves the use of plant remedies to promote health. Plants with healing benefits have been used in all cultures from pre-historic times to today’s science-based medicine. Herbal remedies are plant-based substances that can be used to enhance, maintain and restore health and wellness. The focus is on enhancing the healing capacity and vitality of the body.
I maintain a well-stocked herbal apothecary of herbal extracts available to my clients as either single remedies or customized formulas. I conscientiously, personally prepare herbal remedies using high-quality ingredients. They are ethically sourced, from wildcrafting, processing of fresh and dried plant material, to maceration, percolation and formulation. The herbs in my practice are personally and bioregionally sourced or obtained from reputable sources.
The apothecary is an important part of my herbalist practice. It allows me to create personal formulas tailored to my unique client’s needs and personal health goals. Custom-compounded herbal remedies are as dynamic as your health, and I draw from an extensive and diverse source of remedies to support this dynamic relationship.

November, 26th: Just in time for winter… Today I finished preparing and restocking a beautifully potent batch of mucopolysaccharide-enriched organic Echinacea root extract, a new batch of deliciously effective herbal cough syrup, and finished inventorying all of my apothecary’s current 120 botanicals up to date! Please let me know if you are interested in herbal remedies to support your health!

Information on personal herbal formulas (http://brittabloedorn.com/?page_id=286) and consultation services (http://brittabloedorn.com/?page_id=268) can also be found on my website (http://www.brittabloedorn.com).

Thanks Lisa! 
Yes, the Lifelong Learning Center is great for all they offer, I really like them.  I do not think that LLC offers classes in the Bitterroot though, because it is part of the Missoula Co. Public School System.  I would certainly be happy to teach herbal medicine classes in the Bitterroot as well.  Feel free to contact me if you like.
Best,
