Summer Herbal Farmacy
A great opportunity to get hands on, meet the plants, make remedies
and learn what to use when, and how!
By the end of the workshop you will have grown your knowledge and confidence, co-created your own herbal first aid kit and be leaving with a wonderful workbook for easy reference.
This workshop includes my top summer herbs and first aid treatments for summer afflictions.
We will explore my working gardens together, focusing on key plants used in the treatment of summer ailments, which parts are used, when they should be harvested and how best to process them.
Over the weekend we will make a number of remedies, including:
-
- Tincture (alcohol based herbal medicine)
- Infused oils for eternal use
- Balms
- Poultices
- Drying herbs for:
- Infusions and compresses
Conditions we will cover include:
-
- Cuts and grazes
- Digestive upsets
- Heat rash and minor skin infections
- Insect bites and stings
- Minor burns
- Strains, sprains and bruises
- Sore throats and summer colds
Knowing when to self-treat, versus when to get professional support is really important and our discussions will include this – leaving you feeling clearer and more confident.

-
- Comfrey / Bruise balm
- Calendula tincture
- Chamomile tea
- Insect bite drops
