Make Your Own Herbal Medicine

From dandelion and yarrow to stinging nettle, an abundance of plants can be grown or foraged right in your own backyard for medicinal purposes. Clinical herbal therapist Elizabeth Walker will show you the plants and explain their properties and uses. Be prepared to use your senses as you see, taste and transform the herbs into infusions, decoctions, salves, syrups and other plant medicines to add to your health-care toolbox. You’ll take home samples of the medicines we make in class.
