I am Terri Conroy of Danu's Irish Herb Garden and I live in the west of Ireland, in Connemara. I love plants, I love Nature and I love teaching about the wonderful benefits of incorporating herbs and plants into our lives.

The course is a practical, hands on course - I demonstrate every remedy so you can see just how easy it is to take responsibility for your own health.
In this film I am in my poly-tunnel and I am showing you the herbs and plants that I will be using. Even the wild plants have popped up here!!! You are probably already familiar with Sage and Thyme and I will show you Coltsfoot and Whit Horehound as well as St. John's Wort and Nasturtium.
The herbs and plants have been picked and are spread out on the table for easy identification and I explain what each one will be used for, in the remedy making.
In this video, Lesson 1, I show you how to prepare fresh Sage to make a tea or an infusion for sore throats. Sore throats are often the first sign of a cold or 'flu and this remedy is perfect for halting colds and 'flu in their tracks. Sage tea is antiseptic and anti-bacterial and is a first call whenever you get a tickly, itchy throat.
This is my take on Rosemary Gladstar's recipe. in this lesson I am infusing a variety of herbs and spices in organic Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother. After one month this will be strained. It can be taken on the spoon, put into salad dressings, into stews and soups and casseroles. Be as creative as you like!
A hard, racking cough is hard to bear and weakens the system. This cough syrup is easy to make and will soothe mucous membranes, reducing the soreness. As Coltsfoot is an antispasmodic herb, the cough will be more productive with less effort and what needs to come up will be loosened.
A liniment is great when rubbing helps those aching muscles and joints, as it gets the circulation moving. When people are especially sore and when they need to pamper themselves during the long, dark days of winter, the ointment or balm is another option.
