Step into the world of natural remedies in this engaging and hands-on Healing with Herbs workshop. Over the course of one hour, you’ll learn how to begin building your own herbal home toolkit, with a focus on simple, accessible herbs that can support everyday health and wellbeing. We’ll explore which herbs are traditionally used for common ailments such as colds, digestion, sleep, and inflammation, and how to choose the right ones for your needs.
You’ll be introduced to different ways of preparing herbs at home, with a special focus on herbal teas and oxymels—an age-old combination of herbs infused in vinegar and honey. We’ll discuss their benefits, flavour profiles, and practical uses, as well as tips for creating your own blends.
To bring it all together, we’ll make a batch of fire cider—a warming, immune-supporting tonic made with herbs, spices, vinegar, and honey. Each participant will take home their own bottle, along with the knowledge and confidence to continue experimenting with herbal remedies in their daily life.
