From Root to Remedy

Infusions, Decoctions & Tinctures through Traditional Chinese Medicine and Greco-Egyptian Alchemy

What transforms a plant into medicine?

This immersive one-day experience explores the foundations of herbal preparation through both Traditional Chinese Medicine and historical alchemical traditions. Participants will move beyond theory and work directly with botanical materials to prepare infusions, decoctions, and tinctures while learning the principles that shape extraction, preservation, and medicinal transformation.

Blending historical insight with practical hands-on preparation, the course is designed for:

• practitioners

• students

• herbal enthusiasts

• and anyone curious about the deeper traditions of botanical medicine

No prior clinical training is required.

Led in an intimate small-group setting at The Sanctuary by EIIHS in Athens, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to reconnect with herbal medicine through direct sensory experience and thoughtful dialogue.
