Learn the terminology and techniques associated with preparing herbal ingredients for application to the skin. Take home a preparation of your choice!
We’ll cover:

• to dry herbs or not to dry
• types of preparations: poultices, oils, salves, lotions/creams
• when and why different preparations might be best
• get to make your choice of preparation made with seasonal herbs grown and foraged on the farm to take home

Because these preparations usually require various equipment, preparation time, and clean up, I’ll let students choose which they want to make during class time. Instructions will be given to make all types at home.
