Herbal Medicine Making Workshop with Lunch Included

If you’re just stepping into herbal medicine making, you’re entering a craft that’s equal parts kitchen alchemy, sensory learning, and plant relationship. Here’s a beginner-friendly, structured guide that gives you the “why,” the “how,” and the practical pathways to start confidently. Herbal medicine making is the practice of extracting a plant’s constituents—aromatics, alkaloids, flavonoids, resins, tannins—into a usable form. You’re essentially learning how to: Match the plant to the correct solvent (water, alcohol, oil, vinegar, honey). Extract the right constituents based on the plant’s chemistry. Preserve the preparation safely. Dose it appropriately. This workshop includes: A Little History - Why go Herbal? Oils, Oils, Oils… Which is which?

This is why beginners benefit from a structured approach rather than jumping straight into complex formulas. Our goal and hope are to help you learn more about Herbal Medicine Making for the home and family. *For educational purpose only.
