Urban Medicine Cabinet: Seasonal Affective Disorder
October 29, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is not uncommon in northern parts of the world when the lack of light during the long winter months can bring on depression and lethargy. This is also an effective remedy for deep-seated grief and feelings of loss. This tincture, along with staying active and getting fresh air can help to keep you uplifted and fill your heart with sunshine.
