Herbal Medicine - First Aid Workshop
During this one-day workshop with Olivia you will be inspired by the healing potential of the plants right outside your door. From 10am until 3pm, you’ll immerse yourself in the restorative, practical world of botanical medicine.
The morning is dedicated to Kitchen and Garden Apothecary where you will learn to see common garden herbs and pantry staples in a brand-new light. You’ll discover how to identify and harvest plants that support and help the body through everyday ailments. You will also make your own skin salve, learning the art of infusing and blending oils with beeswax to create a soothing balm for scrapes, stings, itchy bites and chapped skin.
After a relaxed lunch in Kate’s dining room, you will make your own sore throat spray and create a tea blend tailored around digestive support. Alongside your three remedies, Olivia will send you home with a handout listing instructions for the day’s remedies (plus one or two extras!), information on the herbs used throughout the day and a useful list of suppliers.
As with all our workshops, no prior experience is necessary. Homecooked and where possible, locally sourced, lunch and tea are included.
