Join us for an engaging herb talk exploring the medicinal and culinary uses of Gardenia jasminoides. Known for its intoxicating fragrance and striking white blossoms, gardenia has long held a place in traditional herbal medicine—especially in East Asia—where it is valued for its cooling, anti-inflammatory, and calming properties. We’ll discuss its role in supporting liver health, addressing mood imbalances, and reducing fever, as well as its lesser-known uses in culinary traditions for coloring and flavoring foods. This lecture offers historical context, modern applications, and preparation methods, making it ideal for herbal enthusiasts, gardeners, and anyone curious about this elegant and powerful plant.
