Healing the Skin & Herbal First Aid
Herbs and the skin go together so well. We are fortunate to have so many herbal remedies that treat skin issues, both acute and chronic. This day-long workshop will explore a wide variety of natural skin remedies and will teach how to use them in a clear, fun and engaging way. Always one of my most popular workshops, this is a true hands-on workshop where you leave feeling empowered, fulfilled and inspired.
Together we'll learn about:
*skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, burns, cracked and dry skin, rashes, and more--and the best herbs traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to heal them
* easy herbal remedy methods such as oils, salves, liniments, rinses and more to use at home
