Move from the teacup to the kitchen counter and explore the world of topical herbal remedies used on the skin.
We'll focus on how to capture the healing properties of plants in oil, creating the base for our own soothing salves. This skill is essential in building a home apothecary.
Get hands-on as Kerri demonstrates simple, accessible methods for making infused oils with three new abundant herbs, discussing their specific actions and safe use.
Learn the art of transforming that oil into a nourished, healing salve—perfect for everything from dry skin to minor bumps.
Everyone will take home their own handmade salve, a tangible connection to the plant world and a skill you can easily replicate at home.
We’ll explore three abundant, beginner-friendly plants, learning how to identify, harvest, and work with them safely and sustainably.
Leave with the knowledge, a take-home salve, and the confidence to create your herbal oils in partnership with the living world.
