Herbal Medicine Making

Description

Have you ever felt confused trying to figure out which is the most potent preparation for each herb?

Or which type of remedy is the most effective for a specific condition?

I understand how hard it is to navigate the deluge of herbal information out there, and find a resource you can trust.

With over twenty-five years under my belt making medicine and teaching about herbs, I’ve come up with a course that is chock-full of tips for addressing common ailments at home with your very own tinctures, syrups, poultices and salves. If you have children, the course is peppered with kid-friendy recipes and tricks for getting them to actually take their medicine.

Bonus: You’ll be learning all about herbs while you save money—whipping up a medicine chest full of the highest quality
remedies to be found!
