About the event
Some of the most useful remedies in a home apothecary are the ones we apply to the body. Join herbalist Linda Conroy at Driftless Folk School for a full, hands-on day exploring herbs that heal the skin and ease pain, sprains, and strains.
We will make infused oils, salve, lotion, poultices, compresses, topical sprays, washes, and much more, and Linda will show you how and when to use each one. You will leave with the remedies we make in class and the recipes to make them again at home.
This class pairs well with The Home Apothecary 1 on Saturday, October 17, which focuses on herbal remedies for winter health. Join us for one day or both.
