DD Summit 2025 Session: Blooms & Brews: Integrating Nature's Medicine into Dietetic Practice
As modern healthcare increasingly recognizes the value of traditional wisdom, dietitians have a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between conventional nutrition science and nature-based healing practices. This session explores evidence-based approaches to incorporating edible flowers, medicinal teas, and traditional food preparation methods into clinical nutrition practice, enhancing both nutrient density and client engagement.
Participants will learn to identify safe, nutrient-rich edible flowers and their specific health benefits, understand the therapeutic properties of common medicinal teas, and master traditional food preparation techniques that maximize nutritional value. The presentation will emphasize practical implementation strategies, including seasonal availability, storage methods, and client education tools. Special attention will be given to cultural competency and the integration of these practices within existing medical nutrition therapy frameworks.
Through case studies, attendees will gain confidence in recommending these nature-based interventions while maintaining professional standards and evidence-based practice. The session will conclude with strategies for addressing common client concerns and building.
