We will make poultices, compresses, essential oil blends in carrier oil preparations for first aid and much more, while we discuss traditional first aid from multiple cultures and learn what herbs and herbal preparations to include in your first aid kit/apothecary, both at home and while away from home. During the workshop, we will walk to nearby local plants that can be used while out and about when first aid is needed, and also can be harvested to make preparations for your first aid apothecary.
