🌿🖤🌿 CAPITALISM MAKES US SICK! No, really - numerous studies have demonstrated how unequal societies cause unwell populations with low-income families, especially women and children, being hit the hardest… 🤒
Along with food and shelter, the provision and control of medicines and healthcare is a fundamental political issue - a sick population is a disempowered one
>>🌿💚 We vision the creation of an accessible & socially empowering, ecologically beneficial and truly health-promoting grass-roots medical system based on in-depth traditional and modern scientific knowledge of human physiology and the use of medicinal plants which are easily cultivated in the UK 💚🌿> With this in mind - our new project Roots Remedy, seeded in Gloucester but set to grow further into the Forest… 🌱
Affordable medicine-making workshops which share knowledge of healing and plants while creating stock for our community herbal medicine dispensary 👊
…these medicines - safe and effective remedies for common minor illness and specially crafted alternatives to OTC pharmaceutical drugs - will then be offered FREE to families at pop-up clinics run regularly in community spaces around Gloucester and surrounding areas, along with the opportunity for families to speak with qualified Medical Herbalists about more serious health issues 🤓 🌿
We will be running these community medicine-making workshops MONTHLY at the wonderful The Folk of Gloucester - first date TBC
If you’re local plz get involved by attending a workshop or get in touch to donate raw herbal materials or medicines or ££ to help build the Roots dispensary 💚
