Paula Stone, of Meadowsweet Holistic Health, gave a wide ranging talk about herbs, herbalism and how she uses plants in her holistic therapeutic practice based in south Norfolk.
Paula is a qualified coach, hypnotherapist and psychotherapist with a passion for plants. Using live examples, that she had brought with her, Paula spoke about the elements of medicinal use, history, folklore, chemistry and ecology that she had learnt about during her 23 years of interest in the subject. For Paula plants provide not only an amazing resource for culinary and medicinal reasons, but are also able to support crafts, inspire creative activities as well as providing key ecological benefits.
After the talk, members were able to ask further questions, and look more closely at the plants, books and other resources Paula had to show.
