Hands on Herbal Workshops

The air chills, nights draw in and the trees are now bare. Like our ancestors before us, we look towards winter to prepare to keep healthy in the season of coughs, colds, flu and other viruses. In this full day we learn about herbs to support us through winter and learn the skills of medicine making. In this full-day session which is run in conjunction with the Northern School of Permaculture, we will be working with root medicine of Angelica, Elecampane, marshmallow and Thyme as our key herbs as well as utilising some of the amazing medicines found on markets and good grocers such as Ginger, Cinnamon, Star anise, garlic and Tumeric. We will be learning how to manage winter viruses and fevers as well as making a cold busting drink from kitchen cupboard ingredients, a fire cider vinegar and cough medicine. The cost of the day is £65 and includes what we make to take home. numbers are limited to booking is essential
