Handcrafting Herbal Oils and Salves

Herbal oils and salves are a simple, effective, and fun way to add more herbal goodness to your daily routine and keep your skin nourished, protected, and healthy. In this hands-on workshop we’ll discuss different methods of preparing herbal oils and salves, how to choose which plants to work with, and ways to make sure these beautiful herbal creations are potent, effective, and last on the shelf. Each participant will leave with an herbal oil and salve made during class.
