The digestive system is seen as fundamental to our overall health in most traditional medicine systems. We will be looking at the physiology of digestion and at common problems affecting digestive health and see what kinds of herbs, foods and lifestyle strategies can help with these, as well as those promoting digestive function. We will include a tour of commonly used digestive herbs featured in the garden, as well as tasting and preparing digestive remedies including a tea, a decoction and a basic food dish.
