  How to Make Your Own Herbal Medicine

At Dandelion Botanical: March 27th - June 12th

Have you been yearning to learn how to make your own herbal medicine products right in your very own home?  Come join Crystal  in a ten week course designed to teach you the fine art of crafting a bevy of herbal products. 

These home remedies are perfect for integration into your daily life as nutrition, beauty care, and first aid treatment, and are wonderful home-crafted gifts to give. 

We will be focusing on recipes that will invigorate energy, provide immune support during the cold and flu season, support digestive health, and those that will stimulate body and mind.  Recipes will be centered on utilizing the herbs found here, in the Pacific NW.
