Bring a
lunch and prepare to spend an intense day learning how to
make old-time salves, tinctures, liniments and a host of
other traditional herbal medicines. This is a hands-on class,
so be prepared to get down and dirty as we gather the plants
and materials we will be preparing. All participants will
go home with several useful herbal products they have helped
to make. This class will not only be on making things, it
will also contain in-depth discussions on the “How,
What and Why” of each plant used. Held at our Appalachian
Mountain Life, Inc., facilities located near Desoto State
Park, this one day class will prepare the participant to
begin their own experimentation in the traditional ways in
which all our ancestors took care of their health needs.
Cost for this class is $75 per person or $60 per couple.
Please bring a notebook or tape recorder and a container
for your make and takes.
