To make a strong, stable, and medicinal herbal infused oil is truly an art. Herbal infused oils have many uses that include internal consumption, topical aromatherapy as well as external used such as body moisturizers, salves, and creams. Join herb farmer Lindsay with Duvall Herb Farm and community herbalist Rachael with Wildness Within for a workshop delving into herbs used for infused oils. Highlighted herbs may include eucalyptus, lavender, rosemary, chamomile, mullein flowers, comfrey and yarrow.
We will address how to best infuse each herb based on their medicinal actions as well as ways of harvesting and processing for potent and therapeutic oils. Additionally, we will teach about what types of oils to use, different oil infusion methods, oops! cautionary tales of oils, and various ways to incorporate herbal oils into your life.
Each participant will go home with 4 different oils – some ready to use, others infused – as well as a How-To handout with recipes, and, most importantly, hands on experience with making herbal infused oils.
All levels of experience are welcome! Ages 10-12 are welcome to come with an adult.
