Achula's Medicine Making Workshop offers you the hands-on experience of crafting your own herbal remedies using some of nature's most powerful healing plants. In this workshop, you'll learn how to harness the therapeutic benefits of herbs, gaining skills that can help you achieve self-sufficiency in natural healthcare, just like our ancestors did.
Together, we’ll explore:

Foundations of Herbal Formulation:
We’ll start with the essentials—understanding the principles that guide us in creating balanced and effective herbal formulas. You’ll learn the basics of plant chemistry and how to choose the right medium for your herbs, whether it’s alcohol, water, or oil. We’ll discuss the importance of intention, safety, and proper dosage in herbal practice.

Crafting Tinctures, Decoctions, and Syrups:
I’ll guide you through the art of making tinctures—those potent herbal extracts that are a staple in every herbalist’s toolkit. You’ll learn the process of decoctions, unlocking the deep medicinal properties of roots, barks, and seeds. Together, we’ll create delicious, healing syrups that marry the power of herbs with the soothing sweetness of honey.

Making Herbal Vinegars:
Discover the magic of herbal vinegars, and create your own custom blends to enhance your meals and support your well-being.

What You’ll Take Home:
A tincture, syrup, and herbal vinegar that you’ll craft with your own hands. Detailed guides and recipes so you can continue exploring and creating at home. A solubility chart that will be your companion in choosing the right methods for extracting the best from your herbs.
