We're excited to be collaborating with to offer two winter herbal remedies workshops in Buckfastleigh. Come along and build your winter apothecary!
NB booking links posted below
The first workshop, on Sunday 16th November, will be making two traditional winter remedies, immune system boosting elderberry syrup and ‘Fire Cider’, which is a traditional maceration of bug-busting herbs in apple cider vinegar. You will come away with a 200ml bottle of elderberry, thyme and ginger syrup, with the alternative option of a sugar-free glycerite, and also a large jar of 'Fire Cider' herbs infused in apple cider vinegar, ready to strain out in a few weeks. All materials and ingredients are included.
On the 14th December you will be making three traditional winter remedies. You will have the chance to blend your own winter tea, to make a blend of herbs for steam inhalation, and to make a decongestant chest rub, all to support your respiratory health this winter, with bags and jars of each to take home with you.
You will learn about the traditional and current uses of these winter remedies, be introduced to the herbs and how to safely use them, and be taught hands-on medicine making skills. We will be providing organic herbs that have been grown in the Wyse Worts and Radical Plant Folk herb gardens.
