Course Information
Herbal Medicine Intensive
This NEW CLASS is a very exciting expansion of our Wild Medicinal Plants class.
Since ancient times, our ancestors have combined natural ingredients collected from gardens and from the wild to create healing remedies - and you can do it to!
In this one-day plant medicine class, you'll spend the day outdoors, collecting wild ingredients and combining them with simple substances you probably already have at home - to create natural, healthy products that are handy on a regular basis.
Learn how to:
- make a salve to help dry, itchy skin
- brew a tannic acid skin wash from oak bark
- create an immune boosting syrup
- craft flavorful teas that are loaded with Vitamin C
- make tinctures, a medicated oil, and much more!
You'll make and go home with 10 natural remedies and even receive a detailed wild medicine manual - only availble in this class.
