This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
In part two of the herbal medicine making series, we will talk about external application of herbs. You will leave with an herbal remedy you have made yourself!
External applications can include infused oils, salves, liniments, lotions, gels, sprays, soaks, and more. Learn the difference between these and when one is more appropriate than the other.
We will make a remedy in class together. This is a great space to ask questions and grow your confidence as you learn to make beautiful, potent herbal remedies.
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.
