Wow! The gardens, including all those wonderful healing herbs are keeping us busy, and starting to look good and provide us with great food and medicine.<\/p>\n
At our Annual Herbal Intensive, we tinctured<\/strong> Lady’s Mantle, Cleavers; made St. John’s (St. Joan’s) Wort sun infused oil<\/strong>, some very strong tinctracts<\/strong>: Burdock, Vervain;\u00a0 herbal glycerites<\/strong> of Mullein and Heal All (Prunella vulgaris); along with a very healing skin\u00a0 salve<\/strong> which soothes bumps, bruises, chapped skin…. We also stewed and brewed many infusions, decoctions, made poultices to fix our own cuts and bruises, and draw out a sliver…. all while having a lot of fun learning! Identification terms and learning a few latin names kept everyone on their toes.<\/p>\n
Our woofer Monica is enjoying combining her nursing background with the natural healing approach – she is loving it and we are loving her.<\/p>\n
What a pleasure to be able to provide these herbs from our own land. I am already thinking ahead about some great ideas for next July’s course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
