As the New Year changes over, it's the perfect time to strengthen, fortify and clean up. After holidays full of heavy foods we often feel the need to detoxify the system. Rich winter diets are comforting, but can put a burden on our systems. Cleansing allows our bodies to return to a state of balance. And since cold and flu season is still upon us, immune building is just as important.

Master Herbalist Yarrow Willard of Harmonic Arts will be on-site at Seeds Natural Food Market on Thursday, January 13th between 3:00 and 6:00 to offer immune-building and cleansing information. He will talk about the health benefits of super foods and medicinal mushrooms, and share some very simple strategies for utilizing teas, herbs and dietary adjustments to help you in cleansing and supporting your immune system for the remainder of the winter and beyond. “We love speaking to people about the health benefits of super foods.” says Yarrow. “They get excited when they realize how easy it is so support immunity with the use of herbs and foods”. Tina, the owner of Seeds adds “We are so lucky to have access to this expertise right here in our own community.”

Drop by sometime during these two hours to learn, ask questions, and try some tasty foods and teas. Seeds boasts a complete botanical dispensary by Harmonic Arts, where you can find or pre-order nearly any medicinal herb that may be of interest to you. Bring your questions and take advantage of this opportunity to speak with an expert.
