For the past several weeks, the students at Trey Whitfield have been learning about some very important herbs. These are plants that historical have been used for hundreds of years in herbal and holistic medicine.
The herbs the students are covering in this zine include hibiscus, ginger, aloe vera, lavender and chamomile.
Here we have 3 of our amazing students- Zaniya, Raneek, and Bryce checking out some of the plant medicine- aloe vera and ginger!
Teaching the students the importance of natural and holistic remedies has proved to be incredibly pertinent to their learning experience!
They are learning that these herbs are available at grocers in their own neighborhoods. And of course, they are being taught how to properly and safely use, consume, and implement these remedies into their daily lives!
