The class this weekend is focused on the methods for using the plants collected over summer in different types of medicine, and we will be making;

• Infused oils (an oil enriched by medicinal compounds found in plants).

• Salves (medicinal ointments used for topical treatments).

• Tinctures (an extract of medicinal plants dissolved in alcohol).

• Oxymels (an extract of medicinal plants dissolved in honey).

• Elixirs (a sweetened and aromatic solution of alcohol, medicinal plant, and water).

• Lotions (emulsions of oil, water, and medicinal plant for topical application).

• Syrups (a concentration of sugar in water with a medicinal substance added).

• Tea Blends (blends of dried medicinal plants).

• Seed saving (methods for storing seeds into the next planting season).

Students will be taking home the medicines that they make.
