Had a private tea blending session and it was above and beyond. Paula was incredibly nice and patient while we attempted to take in her wealth of knowledge:) She also let us sample multiple teas in addition to our own blendings. Ended the day with as lovely mocktail.Additionally, everyone who worked there was absolutely lovely and kind.Will absolutely be back for custom tea blendings and to shop the various products in the shop!

I have been working with Paula for a couple of years now. She is a wonderful person and Her knowledge of herbs is expensive. I have learned so much meeting and foraging with her over the past couple of years. She has created custom blends for me and family members that have made a significant difference in our lives. She has assisted me in planning my own herbal apothecary garden. I can hardly wait for the brick and mortar to open. It will be fantastic for Portland to have this amazing resource. I encourage everyone to be curious about botanicals.

Introduction into Herbal Wellness for Menopause at Botanically Curious @ Botanically Curious
Nov 14 @ 6:00 pm
Introduction into Herbal Wellness for Menopause at Botanically Curious @ Botanically Curious | Portland | Maine | United States

Join herbalist at Botanically Curious in a collaboration with HotWorx infrared Sauna gym to discuss holistic ways to support your body through life’s phases! Menopause can greatly alter reproductive and cardiovascular health as the body slows down on hormonal production, revealing a host of symptoms that affect both physical and emotional wellness.

In this workshop, you we will discuss: • Reproductive background and the declining cycle of hormones as menopause begins • Establish 4 Pillars of health

• How hormonal shifts can change the physical and emotional body

• How to Identify your personal energetics • How to support mechanisms of the body long term, not just symptomatically

• Explore options for creating herbal relief

•Understand how movement can support hormones

While there is no ‘treatment’ for menopause, there are many natural remedies for menopause symptoms. Treating the often-chronic symptoms of perimenopause and menopause are critical to your health and wellness. Every woman’s experience with menopause is unique, and not every treatment option will work for all. Nonetheless, menopause can be a positive beginning with the right support !

HOTWORX is a virtually instructed exercise program created for users to experience the many benefits of infrared heat absorption, while completing a 30-minute Isometric workout or 15-minute High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) session. As the infrared heat penetrates your body causing you to sweat, the isometric postures further accelerate detoxification by physically removing the toxins from your organs through muscle contraction.
