Description: In this class, you will learn the basics of salve-making, how to infuse oils, and how to choose the proper herbs for a given remedy. We’ll make two of three salves: a sore muscle salve (like a natural icy hot), a healing cuticle salve (for the bitter NYC winter), and a calming salve to help relieve tension headaches.
If you have herbs that you use culturally or ancestrally for its healing properties, you can experiment with infusing oils with those herbs and making a basic salve.
