Tropical plants are some of our most beloved and amazing medicines used all around the world. Their medicine and use has been spreading throughout the Americas, Southeast Asia, Polynesia, Africa, and the Caribbean for thousands of years. Many of these delicious medicinal plants are used as spices, teas, and food. It is only recently that we have easy access to them!

Come join us for this series of ten classes where we will explore the medicine, history, ethnobotany, and pharmacology of tropical medicinal plants around the world. Each class will focus on a handful of tropical plants, with guidance around identification, harvesting, and medicine making. Sage will share her 20+ years of working with these incredible plants through personal experience and research.

In this course we will dive deep into the medicine and ethnobotany of plants you already know and love such as coffee, cacao, vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, coconut, cardamom, citrus, hibiscus, and many others. We’ll also discuss the medicine of fruit trees such as banana, papaya, guava, soursop, coconut, lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit. Many tropical plant medicines that can be grown indoors or as annuals in colder temperate climates will be introduced in depth, such as butterfly pea, gotu kola, aloe, passionflower, hibiscus, tilo, citrus, mimosa, ginger, and cayenne. Students living in tropical climates will be able to grow and use all the plants discussed in class. Sage will share from decades of experience growing, studying, and learning from tropical plants.
