Herbal First Aid Kit Workshop with Sara Omanovic & Brian Falk

Join Sara and Brian to learn how to create a practical, safe, and effective herbal first aid kit—perfect for home or travel. In this class we will discuss both topical and internal remedies, each focusing on common health concerns and the herbs that can support them. Topical remedies will cover herbs used externally to treat wounds, burns, bruises, and infections. Internal remedies will focus on herbs taken internally for digestive issues, urinary health, and respiratory support. Finally, we will learn how to assemble a well-balanced herbal first aid kit that’s tailored to your personal needs and environment, clearly labeled and safely stored, and used with an understanding of when to seek professional medical care. Whether you're new to herbalism or looking to deepen your knowledge, this class offers practical guidance to help you feel more confident caring for yourself and others naturally.
