Explore the diverse ways to prepare herbal medicine, in this experiential class. We'll be making medicine together and discovering how to extract in water, alcohol, vinegar, oil, glycerin, and honey. There is much to know about getting the most from our plant medicines and the optimal way to deliver their benefits to support the body. Learn how to make these medicines and how best to apply them, as we learn ways to build the home apothecary.

Recipes, tastings, medicine making and plant id included.

Session 2: Tinctures, Glycerites, and Vinegars

As we continue on our medicine journey, this week we’ll explore how to work with alcohol based tinctures using fresh and dried plants in a range of approaches from traditional folk macerations to concentrated percolations.  We’ll also discuss non alcoholic preparations with glycerin, and vinegar. Recipes, tastings and two remedies made in class are included.
