Non-binary dears, trans boys, gender curious plant nerds - come explore the potential of herbs for gender embodiment, liberation and euphoria!

a brief introduction to androgen hormones and testosterone
some potential mechanisms of herbs for increasing androgens/testosterone in people with ovaries,
theoretical herbs to increase the effects of T with a review of the research

and protocol examples.
This class is mostly theoretical with some case study examples included.
It is intended for people who are already familiar with basic herbal terminology and physiology.
