CHINESE MEDICINAL HERBS IN AMERICA
October 13th 2018
2:00 to 4:00
Sunset Moon link for class info and registration.
Bryn Mawr, PA
Chinese medicine has an extensive history of using herbs. It is the most familiar system of traditional medicine worldwide and continues to grow. The standard Chinese herbal pharmacy, such as found in Philadelphia’s Chinatown, has hundreds of herbs. Many of which are commonly known as ornamentals, wild plants, and invasive weeds. Learn about some of the familiar flowers, like Peony, and invasives, like Japanese Knotweed and Reedgrass, that are used in Chinese medicine, and about emerging business potential to grow and wild harvest Chinese medicinals here in the US.

Mushroom Walk at Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust
October 14th
Learn from Nathaniel Whitmore, founder and president of the Delaware Highlands Mushroom Society, about the identification of edible, medicinal and toxic mushrooms. Look for Hen of the Woods and Honey Mushrooms, and some of the many edible mushrooms of the season. Nathaniel will also discuss trees, since mushrooms grow in association with them; the ability to identify mushrooms is partially dependent on the ability to identify trees. Other plants will also be discussed, particularly those that grab our attention or are indicative of certain mushroom habitats. pre-paid registration required by October 12. Cost: Members $5; non-members $10.

Chinese Herbal Medicine: Herbs & Formulae
TBA
Worker Bee Community Acupuncture
This class will introduce the Chinese herbal medicine materia medica ("materials of medicine"), the herbs and their classification according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, and some major Chinese herbal formulae. Often, it is ideal to customize a formula according to each individual and their individual case at the time. Likewise, standard formulae are often adjusted in consideration of an individual's constitution or symptoms. However, Chinese herbal medicine is largely built upon a strong tradition of classic formulae... sometimes discovered in ancient times, and proven through generations. This class will look at some important herbal ingredients, the major classification groups of the Chinese herbal medicine materia medica, and a handful of classic formulae.
Suggested $20 donation.

Getting there: Since there is no address, one can identify the general location as near the intersection of Taras Shevchenko Road with White Road. The drive (pictured) is within view of this intersection, on White Road. From Route 97, take High Road (which is located across from the Pond Eddy bridge), then the first right onto White Road.
The driveway is just about 2 miles from Route 97, on the right after passing Taras Shevchenko Road. Alternatively, a few miles south on 97 is Route 31 (near the Mongaup River and Delaware River convergence, across from the Park Service access area), or Upper Mongaup Road. White Road is on the left a few miles from 97. From Route 41 (High Road, which turns into 42/Forestburg Road in Glen Spey) in Glen Spey, make a left onto Taras Shevchenko Road and then at the end make a left onto White Road. |
