Nature provides us with many plants and herbs that have beneficial properties for the health of our body’s during wintertime internally and externally. Herbal salves combine these healing plants with oil and bees wax to create a semi-solid skin remedy used to soothe and hydrate the skin and promote tissue repair and wound healing. Fire Cider and pine needle tea provide nutrients to boost immunity.
All participants will join the creation of these remedies and can choose between just learning or making a salve to take home. Teens and Adults. Free to learn. Make & Take is $10/ person.
