MAKING HERBAL MEDICINES - PART 1

Many Americans are accustomed to going to the drugstore for their cosmetics and medicines. It was not that long ago that these products and most other necessities of life had to be made in the home. The making and using of simple recipes and remedies today provide an excellent way to save money and at the same time to learn traditional skills that were once common knowledge.

In this hands-on workshop, learn how easy it is to make your own herbal first-aid salve to treat a wide variety of common conditions including cuts, scrapes, bug bites, diaper rash, burns, bumps and bruises. Each participant will leave with their own jar of first-aid salve.

This class is suitable for the whole family including children ages 10 and older... and it's FREE!
