SUMMARY:Liberty Tea- Kidney & Urinary Tract Class & Goldenrod Tincture Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This class will focus on the kidneys\, urinary tract\, the organs involved\, and how to use herbs to soothe\, tonify\, and clear-up infections.  Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) are any bacterial infections of the bladder\, urethra\, or kidneys\, and are common in men\, women\, and children.  They are also one of the number one reasons antibiotics are prescribed.  One of the most plentiful\, beautiful\, yellow\, late summer herbs by roadsides and fields is the amazing Goldenrod.  We will take an in-depth look at the history\, folklore\, and medicinal uses of Goldenrod; and everyone will get to make a Goldenrod tincture to take home. \n(Among other uses – Goldenrod is a soothing tonic for the entire genito-urinary tract; useful as diuretic and antiseptic for treating bladder/kidney infections.)\nFYI – Goldenrod has a reputation for causing hay fever\, but allergies are rarely caused by insect-pollinated plants\, as their pollen is too big and heavy to get into your respiratory system. More inconspicuous wind-pollinated plants tend to be the problem. Ragweed has inconspicuous green flowers that bloom right about the time goldenrod does and it spreads its pollen on the wind so you can inhale it and sneeze. \nThe workshop would entail: \n-Small Plant ID Walk and discussion in EcoVillage Learning Garden (weather permitting) \n-Rules on Harvesting Sustainably and at peak potency \n-Information session on Kidney/Urinary Tract & the folklore\, history\, and medicinal uses of Goldenrod. \n-Tincture making class (Tinctures defined\, why tinctures\, how to make your own)\n-Hands on – each attendee makes a tincture to bring home (will need to macerate and be pressed at home)- plant material for tincture making will be supplied by I-TAL Acres.

SUMMARY:Herbal Infused Oils & Salve Making Class
DESCRIPTION:Applying herbs topically\, as infused oils or salves\, is one of the many ways we can utilize herbs for health and healing.  We will discuss several methods of extracting herbs in oil and how to do so\, including a demonstration preparing an herb for oil extraction.  These infused herbal oils can be used as is\, or made into healing herbal salves.  We will collectively make an herbal salve in class\, and each attendee will take home a container of salve made in the class. \nThe workshop would entail: \n-Small Plant ID Walk and discussion in EcoVillage Learning Garden (weather permitting) \n-Rules on Harvesting Sustainably and at peak potency \n-Oils/Salve making class & notes\n-Hands on – each attendee will take home a jar of salve made in class.
