Infuse Herbal Oils and Salves at Home

All budding herbalists love to make their own topical herbal products at home. The easiest and most fun are salves.

Making a salve is a three step process which we will go through over three sessions. First we will learn to make an infused oil. Discuss measuring your ingredients and determining how strong your oil will be. Our second session, two weeks later, we will strain our oils and discuss how we can use the oil itself and how some of the possible herbs can be used differently. Session three will focus on making salves themselves. Be sure to check the ingredients so you can make these salves with us through the program.
