The third edition of the "Billiarnica online" program, which the Econaut association is conducting together with the well-known herbalist and journalist Momcilo Antonijević, will begin this December and will allow participants to acquire basic knowledge about medicinal plants in a period of three months.
The school of picking and using medicinal plants was started with the aim of preserving the knowledge of using these powerful gifts of nature and making them available to everyone. The program is intended for those who want to get acquainted with medicinal plants and ways of their use and thereby acquire knowledge that we have largely forgotten, and which is as old as humanity itself. During the course, participants will be able to learn the techniques of picking and drying plants, by which mechanisms they affect our health, as well as at what time and in what way it is best to use them - from teas and herbal mixtures, through tinctures, aromatherapy, and all the way to the use of medicinal herbs in the kitchen.
More than 100 participants have passed through the School of Medicinal Plants, which has been held twice a year since 2020 - live in the spring and online in the autumn - winter period, discovering the secrets of medicinal plants with Momcilo Antonijević. In this way, they learned the ways of picking medicinal herbs, their recognition, use and combination, in order to finally make herbal preparations at home.
.
The online course consists of 14 classes lasting two hours each and will allow participants to get to know medicinal plants, learn to distinguish them from similar species, master the techniques of picking and drying herbs and all this according to the dynamics that suit them, with the help of an always available mentor!
