n this workshop you will learn about the healing properties of herbs commonly grown in the home garden, such as Lavender, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme, Oregano, Basil, and more. Many of these herbs have been utilized since antiquity and have been written about in ancient herbals such as Dioscorides “De Materia Medica,” Ibn Sina’s “The Canon of Medicine” and Hildegard Von Bingen’s “Physica.” Modern herbalists today still work with these herbs and in this class Jade will share some of their healing properties, discuss harvest and storage, and share recipes. We’ll explore medicine-making together and students will all receive instruction on making their own herbal honey, which Jade will demo, and participants are encouraged to follow along and make their own at home! Material list is below and an in-depth handout will be provided as well.
