FREE Herbal Health Talk in Cork City – Spring Cleaning: Supporting the Liver & Lymph for Spring

Join Medical Herbalist & Ethnobotanist Luke Ó hErodáin for an insightful one-hour talk on preparing the body for the seasonal shift.

As the sap begins to rise in the trees, our own bodies begin to stir from winter slumber. In the herbal tradition, February is the time for “Spring Cleaning”, not of our homes, but of our internal systems. This session focuses on the Liver and the Lymphatic system, our primary pathways for detoxification and renewal. Learn how to gently clear the “winter stagnation” and support your vitality as we move toward the lighter months.

This is an opportunity to learn about health, herbs and to ask questions to a clinical herbalist.

What you’ll learn:

• The “Sap Rising” Effect: Understanding how our metabolism changes as we transition from winter to spring.

• The Liver & Lymph Connection: Why these two systems are the pillars of seasonal health and how to support them without “crashing.”

• Green Medicine: An introduction to the first bitter greens and “alterative” herbs that naturally cleanse the blood and skin.

• Waking Up the System: Simple dietary tweaks and herbal teas to reduce sluggishness and brighten your energy during this transition.

What to Expect

• A relaxed, informal talk exploring the evening’s subject.

• Time for questions and open discussion with a clinical herbalist.

• Book and online resource recommendations for seasonal health.
