The plants around us have long offered gentle ways to tend life’s little scrapes, bumps, and stings. In this two-and-a-half-hour gathering at Wild Thistle Herbs & Alchemy, we’ll explore how simple, plant-based preparations can support everyday first aid needs.
✨ What we’ll do:
Meet plant allies like plantain (Plantago spp.), calendula (Calendula officinalis), chamomile (Matricaria), lavender (Lavandula), and yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
Learn to prepare washes, salves, poultices, and a styptic powder
Explore ideas for an herbal first aid kit, with thoughtful additions like fire cider and horehound (Marrubium vulgare)
