Farm weekends
Healthy soil = healthy food = healthy people
This photo is from the event "Herbal remedies." that takes place on "Sunday", during one of the programs of Agrion Terra Farm, in Crete.
Description of event
After our botanical walk, Marianna first takes us to her workshop, where we admire the work she is doing with local herbs. She explains how she extracts essential oils, the use of each oil... just everything you want to know. Marianna, our professional herbalist and botanotherapist, performs herbal tea preparation. She explains how a number of common health problems, such as the common cold and indigestion or headaches, malaise, etc., can be treated successfully with the use of herbs thus avoiding taking medicine that can have unpleasant or annoying side-effects. Furthermore, as she explains, even for more serious ailments, under the guidance of the competent physician, herbs can play an important role in the patient’s cure and relieve from the symptoms. Among the diseases and ailments normally treated by botanotherapists are allergies, arthritis, infections, circulatory problems, liver diseases, gynecological problems (relating to menstrual cycle), skin diseases, stress related problems (headaches, insomnia, palpitation).
