Therapeutics are at the heart of everything we make in Harris, using the best that the season has to offer from the plants that grow here. In this one day course on July 27th we’ll concentrate on Balms and Teas. We’ll head out onto our croft, greenhouse and machair land collecting plants that support good health.
We’ll discuss which plants offer safe therapeutic action and then we’ll go out to gather and dry plants to make into a tea carefully working out how to balance therapeutics with great taste.
We’ll also look at healing balms and salves, learn about the effects of essential oils and oil macerations before leaping in and making one to take home.
This will be a really lovely, gentle day of learning and making starting at 10.30 and finishing at 2pm including Soup, Bread and coffee and tea.
