Natural Defense: Healing Herbs & Foods for Seasonal Immunity


  • Apothecary Tinctura 2900 East 6th Avenue Denver, CO, 80206 United States (map)

Join local Herbalist + Holistic Health Practitioner Madeline Hoffman for a fall class series rooted in seasonal wellness. Together, we’ll explore effective, DIY healing tools to support you and your loved ones through both acute and chronic infections.

We will deepen into the gifts of antiviral, antibacterial, and immune-boosting medicinal herbs - like soothing Lemon Balm, synergizing Licorice Root, anti-pathogenic powerhouse Thyme, and revitalizing Ginger - while also celebrating food as medicine. From healing broths to elderberry syrup medicine making, you’ll discover how everyday kitchen staples can become some of your most powerful allies this season.

Topics to be covered include:

  • Ancestral wisdom, seasonal relation, and remedies to promote health for you and your family through the fall and winter seasons

  • Herbal Deep Dive: antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial, & immune-supporting medicinal herbs + when/how/why to use them

  • Acute + Chronic Infections: preventative care

  • Food As Medicine: healing broths, beverages, + kitchen witchery

  • Culinary medicinal herbs at your fingertips and how to implement them in your home

  • Elderberry Syrup + Herbal Glycerites Medicine Making

  • Herbal Tea Preparation- including Immune tea with options for purchase!

  • Autoimmune Conditions + Antiviral Herbs: the missing link?

This in-person container is crafted to help you tap into accessible lifestyle medicine, connect with the plants and foods growing around us, and live in seasonal rhythm for preventative + empowered care as we head into the colder months and holiday season.
