Get Your Spot!
Herbal salves are a wonderful and natural way to moisturize your skin and dry hands and help to speed up the healing process with cuts and scrapes. Body butters are also wonderful moisturizers and they smell great.
We’ll talk about how to make a lush salve or body butter by using a good quality oil (e.g. olive oil, jojoba, sesame oil, etc.) infused with healing herbs like calendula, lavender, mugwort and rosemary plus ingredients like cacao butter, shea butter, and beeswax.
This class will be a lot of fun, and informative! You will be able to participate in making an herbal salve and/or body butter with us LIVE if you choose to take home and enjoy.
Making your own herbal salves and body butters can be surprisingly accessible - we will create high quality products that last using very few ingredients that you can often find in your kitchen.
Plus what you make will be potent, and so much more cost effective compared to what you purchase - and it is a great way to reduce our impact on the environment.
This class is open to those who are curious, and want to deepen in their awareness of working with what I call our “green allies.”
These regular herbal classes with Crystal Marie Higgins at The Center SF will each be fun and interactive ways to learn more about the power of what is called “kitchen herbalism” - wonderful herbs that you can experiment with in the kitchen (and their properties for your health).
