HERBAL TEAS for Digestion Workshop 9.25.25
Thursday, September 25th, 2025
5:30 - 7:30pm @ Our Mānoa Apothecary
Discover how accessible medicinal herbs can support optimal digestion during this interactive workshop. We'll discuss common sources of digestive disharmony through both an Eastern + Western lens, and explore which herbs are most suitable for each pattern.
Throughout the class, we'll sample 9 key herbs so you can experience their flavors and better understand their unique benefits. Then you'll be able to mix up your own tea blend based on your personal needs & preferences that you can take home.
This class is designed for anyone interested in herbs for soothing & strengthening digestive function, whether you are completely new to the study herbalism or are looking to build upon the knowledge you've already acquired.
We will be focusing on common & culinary herbs, but the concepts we discuss can be applied more broadly toward any herbs you choose to work with.
A handout will be provided, but feel free to bring a notebook to take additional notes!
This is an in-person workshop at our Mānoa studio, in a private residence off of Woodlawn Drive.

This was a meaningful and memorable experience. I’ve been a fan of Indigo Elixirs since 2020, so getting to learn directly from Deanna in her beautiful Mānoa studio felt so special. The peaceful evening shared with other women was a deep dive into herbalism, aromatherapy and the art of handmade. My own handmade perfume is now a prized possession. Deanna’s expertise and joyful guidance added nuance and fun to every step.
I had a wonderful time at this perfume workshop — truly an exclusive local gem! The experience was not only creative and relaxing, but also deeply immersive. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming, guiding us through the process with passion and care. I loved learning about the locally sourced ingredients and getting to craft a scent that felt uniquely personal. The peaceful, thoughtfully designed environment made the entire experience even more special. Highly recommended for anyone looking to connect with local culture in a meaningful and memorable way!
Deanna is such a wealth of information, we learned an immense amount about the science and love that goes into botanicals. My daughter and I had a private session and we can't wait to schedule another one. We made our own balms with all of the information required to make more on our own time. Deanna provided a handout with everything explained so well and she took the time to answer all of our questions so we left confident and equipped! Big aloha and mahalo!
