Herb Circle - Salves and Balms

About this event

Session 4 : Balm Making There is nothing quite like making a balm from scratch and watching it set. In this session you'll create a herbal balm using common garden plants, plants you might already be growing (accidently or on purpose) or could easily find at a local nursery. We'll cover how to identify and prepare them, how to infuse them into oil, and how to turn that into a finished balm you can actually use. We'll talk through the plants as we go: their traditional history, what they bring to a topical preparation, and why balm-making is one of the most satisfying and practical skills in any herbal toolkit. You'll go home with a pot of handmade balm that's entirely yours. As usual, we will incorporate some nature craft into our day! No experience needed. Just bring your curiosity. Includes: all materials, take-home preparations, and access to our free community pop-up clinic running after the session.
