Intro to Mushroom Medicine (45 min)

This class is a free class open to anyone.  It is being hosted by the Kittanning Herb Study Group.  The workshop will be 45 minutes, followed by some food and community time.

Medicinal mushrooms are growing in popularity- for good reason! Mushrooms have a wide range of very beneficial compounds that can do amazing things in our bodies, including fighting cancer, reducing inflammation, supporting our nervous system, regenerate our nerves and brain, providing wound care, and encouraging long life, and healthy skin. In this workshop, Dana will offer an overview of medicinal mushrooms, including where to source them, and then discuss how to use mushrooms in two ways: as food and topically. Dana will provide a group hands-on demonstration on how to make a mushroom skin barrier and anti-aging salve with oyster, reishi, and lavender, and all participants will get a salve to take home!
