Come learn how to make a multi-purpose herbal salve while making gifts for your family and friends. Herbal salves are a fantastic gift that can be used throughout the year for cuts, scrapes, burns, sprains, as massage salve, etc. Similar to Neosporin, only 10x more effective because the salves promote the healing of tissue as well as preventing infection.
Each participant will make 8 jars of salves (4 – .8oz and 4 – 2oz) containing organically grown ingredients including local olive oil, herbs and essential oil. You will learn the function of each herb in the salve as we take a walk in my garden where these herbs grow. There will be simple labels and markers that you can use to decorate the salve labels. If you are the artsy type, feel free to bring stickers, sparkles, special pens or any other decorations for the jars. You will leave empowered to repeat the process on your own for years to come.
