Wild Plant Medicine

An introduction to foraging and making your own medicine with wild plants.

Supplies, snacks and beverages provided.

Workshop includes:

• Hand-out
• Instruction and demonstrations 
  • What is plant medicine and how is it different from mainstream medicine?
  • Safety foraging tips
  • Preparing basic medicines: teas (infusions/decoctions), tinctures, extracts, infused oils, compresses and poultices
• Plant Walk: identifying wild plants (dress for the weather)
• Medicine-making:
  • make your own tincture with the wild plant of your choice—valued at $20
  • make a styptic powder—valued at $10

Please dress for the weather. In case of heavy rain and/or thunderstorms we will have a Plant Talk (instead of a Plant Walk) indoors and I will harvest plants beforehand for medicine-making.
