Join us for a hands‑on introduction to working with plants for everyday wellbeing. In this single session we’ll demystify common herbal preparations and explore how simple, nutritive herbs can support steady, long‑term health.
What we’ll cover

- Herbal steams: a guided look inside the herbal kitchen and how steam can provide relief.
- Tonics and nutritive herbs: what “tonic” means and how mineral‑ and nutrient‑rich herbs (e.g., nettle, oatstraw, red clover) support ongoing vitality.
- Infusions & decoctions: making herbal infusions from leaves and flowers and decoctions from tougher roots — when to steep and when to simmer.
- Tinctures: how alcohol or glycerin extracts work and when to use them.
- Safety basics: how to consider allergies, interactions, and when to seek professional guidance.
- Practical recipes: simple, everyday preparations you can make at home.
