# Event Details - **Event Name**: Herbal Infused Oils and Balms Mastery - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 10:30 am – Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join me for a practical day exploring the art and science of making herbal infused oils and medicinal beeswax-based balms for the home apothecary. Making herbal infused oils for external preparations is both an art and a science. From harvesting fresh herbs at the right time, to choosing suitable base oils and understanding how best to infuse them, there is a rich and practical wisdom behind every effective herbal balm. Once a herbal infused oil has been created, it can be used in a wide variety of external preparations — from simple everyday balms to more targeted remedies for supporting the skin, tissues, muscles and joints. In this immersive, hands-on workshop, key herbs growing in the medicinal gardens will be explored in depth, looking at their traditional uses, therapeutic properties and how to choose the right herb and oil for the preparation being made. Throughout the day, these plants will be met both practically and therapeutically — learning how they grow, what they offer, how to infuse them well, and how to transform herbal oils into useful, effective balms for the home apothecary. What we will explore: - Understanding Herbal Infused Oils Why herbal infused oils are such valuable external preparations The difference between fresh and dried herb infusions How to choose the right base oil for different preparations and purposes Key considerations for harvesting, preparing and infusing herbs How to avoid common mistakes when making herbal infused oils - Herbal Support for Skin, Tissues and Joints Key herbs for soothing, protecting, repairing and nourishing tissues How to understand their therapeutic actions and indications Choosing herbs for different external preparations When to use gentle everyday balms and when more targeted support may be needed Safety considerations, cautions and contra-indications for external use - Creating Effective Medicinal Balms How to turn herbal infused oils into balms Understanding ratios, texture and consistency Choosing oils, beeswax and optional essential oils Bee’s top infused oil and balm-making tips How to safely incorporate a small selection of essential oils A Hands-On Experience During the day, you will: Walk around the medicinal gardens, meeting the plants where they grow Explore key herbs including Calendula, Chickweed, Comfrey, Lawn Daisy, Lavender, Lemon Balm, Plantain and St John’s Wort Work with both fresh and dried herbs Prepare and discuss different herbal infused oils Make a selection of balms, including Bee’s much-loved Healing Balm Make your own lip balm Create your own personalised balm, choosing the ingredients you would like to work with During the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to draw on the knowledge gained throughout the day to create your own personalised balm.
