Get ready for the holidays by retraining your body to appreciate sugar in smaller amounts, with herbs! In this class, “Sugar Cravings: Fifteen Herbs You Need To Know,” Clinical Herbalist Steve Byers will discuss how herbs can support blood sugar regulation and even down-regulate your taste preferences for sweets with herbs such as Gymnemma, known in Ayurvedic herbal medicine as “The Sugar Destroyer.” This class will be held on Tuesday evening, December 6, at 7:00 pm at the Camden Public Library; there is no need to pre-register, all are welcome. Want to know more about digestive bitters? Learn how to make your own digestive bitters formulas in your own home to support healthy digestion and curb the sugar cravings!
Byers views the person as a whole, understanding the interconnectedness of the body, mind, spirit, and also “the gut” where much of the immune system and neurotransmitter production exists. Gut healing protocols are important components in increasing the effectiveness of the herbal preparations and other efforts. Once digestive issues are resolved, other layers are able to accelerate in their resolution. As Hippocrates, the father of medicine once said, “All diseases begin in the gut!”
Since the age of 10, Steve Byers has been studying medicinal plants. He has studied Western Herbalism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Cherokee Traditional Medicine. While studying over 500 medicinal herbs, his focus is on regional botanicals that provide the most locally abundant and accessible medicine available. Byers loves sharing the wisdom and science of medicinal plants and has taught classes, medicinal plant walks, and therapeutic workshops up and down the east coast. He is currently developing a curriculum for Herbal First Aid in Maine.
