This is part 3 of the herbal medicine making series and one of the most unusual. Herbal medicine is more than drops from a bottle or a nice salve. Medicine is often in the fragrance of herbs – their volatile oils, and can be experienced through inhalation. We’ll talk about incense, steams, and smoking herbs, and when you would turn to these. You will leave with an aromatic herbal remedy you have made yourself.
