Introduction to Handcrafted Herbal Medicines
Learn the basic techniques of herbal medicine making, creating several formulas that can boost immunity and promote overall wellness. We will learn how to make two types of tinctures, a healing salve and hand crafted tea blend. All of the combinations we create will be appropriate for the summer season to help keep us in optimal health. We'll also discuss how to incorporate medicinal herbs into our everyday cooking. You will leave the class with samples of our creations, as well as recipes you can re-create at home. Bring a notebook, pen, and a basket to take home all your medicines!
