Presented at the 2019 Northwest Herb Symposium on August 22-25, 2019
During this class we will discuss the basics of herbal medicine making: defining common terms used, constituent solubility and why it's important, folk method vs weight to volume method, proper plant identification, knowing what part of the plant to harvest and when to harvest it, sustainable wild crafting, dried versus fresh herb, how to properly label your products and why you should, parts conversion for formulas given in parts, and so much more. These concepts are the core foundation for making your own herbal medicines and will aid you in making the strongest medicine you can make.
Goals and Objectives: To introduce participants in how to make the strongest herbal remedies they can make. Participants will learn the skills they need to make potent home remedies.
