Potions, Powders & Pomanders

Always wanted to make your own potions? Curious about the ingredients in the products you use every day?

Join Chef Christy in the Heart Space Holistic Community Space to learn the differences between a tisane, a tincture, and decoction, when to use a poultice or a compress, and how a little kitchen witchery can turn your foods into healing magic!

Understand how and why various preparations are used, and which ingredients are best suited for them.

Get practical hands-on instruction for the techniques you’ll need to get started stocking your own health and beauty supplies!

We’ll cover a wide range of preparations from tisanes and tinctures to powders, ointments, pomanders and more, with discussions about the equimpent you’ll need, how to package and label, and you’ll take home your own creations to add to your personal Herbal Apothecary!
