What would your medicine cabinet would look like if you replaced your over the counter stuff with herbal remedies? Now is your chance to find out! First, we will discuss roughly 15 wild plants that can be used to treat most minor ailments. You will learn about the healing properties of the plants, as well as the techniques for extracting and preserving their healing qualities. This part will be sort of like a lecture, so bring a notebook to take notes. Then we will spend the rest of the afternoon in the kitchen, using lawn weeds and common garden herbs to produce home remedies that can take the place of over the counter medicines. You will get to work hands on to make First Aid Salve, Muscle Ache Balm, Headache Tincture, Cough and Cold Syrup, Tummy Tea, Sleepy Tea, Tooth Tincture, and Eye Relief Compress. Everyone will get to take their products home with them. This class will not include a plant walk. All plants will be pre-harvested so that we can focus on learning the techniques.
