3 more classes

Hello friends!

The next three classes will be held in the evenings at Buena Vista Coffee on the Northside. Come join in the fun, and spread the word! If you can't make it to this Saturday's Elderberry syrup class, I'll be having it again in November at Buena Vista. Hope to see you!

All classes will be held on Tuesday evenings from 7pm to 9pm. The coffee shop will officially be closed, but I will have a pot of tea on hand for us :)

Herbal Oil and Healing Skin Salve: October 25th

Natural Cold Care, Elderberry Syrup: November 8th

Lotion and Lip Balm: December 6th

Buena Vista Coffee, 1501 Buena Vista St. Pittsburgh Pa 15212

Classes are $15 each, but if you pay for all three in advance it will be just $38. That's more than a 15% savings! (I will offer a similar discount if you have already taken one class, but sign up in advance for the other two)


Herbal Oil and Healing Skin Salve Make-and-Learn (Tuesday October 25, 7-9pm)

In this class you will learn how to make an herbal oil using the folk method, and then we will turn a previously made herbal oil into a healing skin salve. We will discuss the healing properties of the three herbs used, and talk about the many applications of this particular salve. St. John's Wort, Comfrey and Calendula are the herbs that make this an invaluable salve for cuts, burns, and bruises. Everyone will take home the recipe and a tin of salve that we make together that night.


Natural Cold Care and prevention: Elderberry Syrup (Tuesday, Nov. 8th 7-9pm)

We are getting a taste of cool weather, and starting to hear the sniffles, sneezes, and coughing of the season. Let's come together and make a trusted remedy for health! Elderberries have long been used for the prevention and healing of colds and flu, and research is starting to catch up. In this class we will talk about the medicinal properties of Elderberry (Sambucus nigra), natural ways to boost your immune system, and helpful hints to use if you start coming down with something. We will make Elderberry Syrup, and everyone will take home a 2 ounce, amber bottle of this beneficial syrup.


Lotion and Lip Balm (Tuesday, Dec. 6th 7-9pm)
Interested in making your own body care products? Come join us to see how easy it really is to make lotion and lip balm in your own kitchen. We will talk about the benefits of making your own products, the different types of oils you can choose, and where to find the supplies. This is a hands-on class, everyone will participate in the making of these two simple products. Each student will receive a 2-oz jar of lotion and a tube of lip balm from what we make, these also make great gifts!
