This workshop explores the role of herbalism in supporting refugees, asylum seekers and people on the move across repressive borders. It explores the politics of the border regime and the role of herbalists in supporting people displaced by colonialism, capitalism, conflict and climate change.

The workshop introduces the work of the Mobile Herbal Clinic Calais that has served over 10,000 refugees in Northern France with first aid and acute herbal care since 2019. Nicole also talks about herbal solidarity on the Poland-Ukraine border and lessons from other herbal refugee solidarity work. People will take away practical information about several of the medicines made en masse and learn what herbal medicine can look like in these challenging conditions.

This workshop was originally an offering with the Railyard Apothecary in November 2024.
