As the summer draws to a close, let's fill our pantries with herbs for immune support! We'll explore some of the most helpful herbs we can employ for lung and sinus support, and discover how we can incorporate herbs, plants and foods to support our general wellness. We will learn how to make herbal syrups and fire cider. Then we'll do some hands-on medicine making and each participant will go away with some homemade fire cider.
