Learn practical ways to better care for your mouth with plants; including the teeth, gums, mouth tissues, and throat. Oral care is often portrayed as isolated from the rest of the body, however there is much more to the story!
Participants will gain a better understanding of the interconnected nature of the body and how every body system is represented in the mouth.
We will familiarize ourselves with the basic anatomy of the mouth and the surrounding area so as to identify the most important areas of focus to support them. From there, we will get to know specific plants and practices that can be incorporated into an already existing routine.
We will blend up a tooth powder together at the end of the class and participants will take home a small bag home with them to try.
