Saturday 10:30 - 12:00
Explore the fascinating world of vulnerary herbs — plants traditionally valued for supporting the healing of cuts, scrapes, bruises, burns, rashes, and irritated skin. The word “vulnerary” comes from the Latin word vulnus, meaning wound, and these herbs have been used for generations in home herbal care.
In this introductory class, participants will learn about several common vulnerary herbs and how they are traditionally prepared as salves, infused oils, poultices, compresses, and herbal washes for topical use. Students will enjoy demonstrations, herbal sampling, and take home an informative handout.
